Springfield Mayor Houston has turned to a new crime survey to discredit Forbes magazine's choice of the capital city as the nation's 3rd most dangerous.
Springfield is nowhere to be found in a top ten list of dangerous cities from 24/7 Wall Street, which offers financial news and opinions on its website.
Mayor Mike Houston tells WMAY News the city doesn't deserve a dangerous label, especially compared to its peers.
Houston says the new rankings also reflect a much lower murder rate for Springfield than higher crime cities like Detroit.
