Greenfield Agrees That Policy Won't Apply to Civil Service Employees, After Investigation Filed

The Town of Greenfield proposed to implement a policy regulating employment of family members and close relations. For many, public safety work is a time-honored, family calling. Attorney Terence Coles filed a petition on behalf of 10 voters, including representatives of Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts and Massachusetts Coalition of Police, asking the Civil Service Commission to investigate this proposal.

In response, the Town agreed that the policy will not apply to Civil Service employees.
