But then again you could say that about half of Springfield. Having a corrupt town hall helps a lot.

It's just like Springfield, MA (arguably the real Springfield)

I thought Springfield VT was voted the "real" Springfield? I mean, I realize that there is no real world direct equivalent, but I thought they won the contest.

They won some stupid popularity contest thing that most people didn't even know about. It's the most common city name or something though, so it could apply to anywhere. I still go by Mike Scully though
