SPRINGFIELD — A city councilor and longtime activist was suddenly fired from her job at the New North Citizens’ Council and escorted from her desk last week.
Maria Perez, the agency’s chief of housing programs and the Ward 1 city councilor, was terminated “effective immediately” after an internal review, according to a statement released Saturday night from Efrain Vazquez Jr., clerk of the New North Citizens’ Council board of directors.
