The legislative body in Springfield, Massachusetts has two new committees this year.
City Council President Marcus Williams announced the creation of a special committee to focus on access to city services and another on women’s issues.
He plans to ask councilors to make the latter a permanent committee.
The City Council now has 12 standing committees and six special committees to navigate what Williams said will be a “robust agenda this year.”
WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Williams.
