The City of Springfield is located in the western part of the Commonwealth, and as the third largest city in the Commonwealth, its Police Officer compensation cannot be used to evaluate the Citys Police Officer wage and benefit 10 rates. The City of Lowell is a Merrimack Valley community that is geographically distinct from the City with a traditionally distinguishable wage and benefit track vis 4 vis the City.

City of Springfield, 11 MCSR 270 (Aug. 20, 1998) (trash collector terminated over confrontation with day care employee over trash placed on the wrong street; Commission reduced this to a one year suspension when charge that would have warranted termination abusive behavior toward the public was not proven). There is no evidence suggesting that Ms. Floyds termination was based on any improper political consideration, bias, or favoritism.
