CBS 3 Springfield is reporting that the Springfield License Commission has rejected Mayor Sarno push to close bars at 1 a.m. as opposed to the current 2 a.m.  The vote was ostensibly 3-2.

The news first came through on the Twitter feed of the channel’s evening/night news anchor, Chris Stewart.  Masslive’s Jack Flynn has the roll call.  Commissioners, Raymond Berry, Robert Casey and Orlando Ramos voted against the change whereas Commissioners Denise Kelsey and Peter Sygnator voted to support it.  More details when we have them.
