Saryan First Woman Common Council President in 16 Years, Not First Ever
Greenfield Patch inaccurately reported that Shirley Saryan was the first after she was chosen by her peers to fill that role last month.
Turns out Shirley Saryan’s appointment as the City of Greenfield’s Common Council president was not as history-making as Greenfield Patch believed.
Last week, Patch called Saryan, the city’s 5th District alderperson, the first woman in the city’s history to hold that position. That was not correct.
Former alderperson Barbara Clark held that title for one year, beginning in 1996.
