One is quite bright-eyed and bushy tailed, the other, not so much. (Hey, he had to walk all the way to school for cryin’ out loud!)

The 2015 Annual Town Meeting opened last night and got off to a slow, steady start. Town Moderator Brian Walsh gaveled the session to order shortly before 8:00PM. Members of the Milton High Chorus sang the Start Spangled Banner, the body recited the Pledge of Allegiance, the Moderator acknowledged and a moment of silence was observed for Town Meeting Members who passed away this past year, and the Moderator reviewed rules of procedure. And with that Town Meeting was off to the races.
