Mayor Sarno states, “I want to congratulate and thank Cynthia for her years of dedication and service to our Springfield community – as a journalist and editor, she was a consummate professional, always fair and respectful in her reporting. I always enjoyed our conversations. Her distinguished career with the Republican Newspaper spanned over five decades, with the last three years serving as Executive Editor and being the first woman to lead our local newspaper in its nearly 200-year history – another Springfield first! Congratulations Cynthia. On behalf of the city of Springfield, I wish you continued good health and success and looking forward to working with you still as we celebrate the Republican’s upcoming 200th anniversary in 2024.”
Mayor Sarno also congratulated and welcomed incoming Executive Editor Larry Parnass.
