East Milton Parking Study
The Board of Selectmen should be cautious in considering the East Milton Square Parking study report. It asks the Town to replace the landscaped Manning Park, over the Expressway, with a 40 space parking lot, diagonally opposite from Fitness Unlimited.

Dear Milton Neighbor,
After weeks of debate, the Massachusetts Senate passed an expanded gambling bill this evening. I voted for the bill, which provides for three casinos licenses, divided by region, along with one competitively bid slot license. A similar bill previously passed the House, and a final measure will soon become law.

Milton’s High School and Middle School have announced that the “Rachel’s Challenge” program will be presented to their students on October 4 and 5, as part of their anti-bullying campaign. Named for Rachel Scott, one of thirteen victims murdered at Columbine High School by two student gunmen, the program was founded by Rachel’s father, who has also released a number of books and DVDs proclaiming Rachel to be a Christian martyr.
Dear Editor:
As Chairman of the Milton Bicycle Advisory Committee, I have been involved in parts of the process to complete the Neponset River Greenway. The Greenway is a multi-use trail that follows the Neponset River, and is a resource for recreation and transportation. It’s maintained by the state Department of Conservation and Recreation, and is patrolled by the State Police.
I want to THANK all those who helped me get elected to represent the citizens of Milton as Library Trustee. The outpouring of volunteers who held signs, wrote dear friend cards and provided financial support was humbling. I also want to thank my neighbors in Precinct 3 for re-electing me to Town Meeting.
The Milton Public Library presents another film in our Young Adult Film Series, “Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, Part 1”. All are welcome. Free & sponsored by the Friends of the Milton Public Library.

Dear Neighbor,
I’m pleased to announce that legislation was passed yesterday that apportions $621,708 for road and bridge improvements for Milton. This funding level represents a 29% increase over the funding apportioned to Milton during the current fiscal year. This funding is especially important this year because of the extreme weather we had this winter, and the resulting poor road conditions.
Dear Mr. Clark and members of the planning board,
I am writing to you on behalf of Sustainable Milton as our board voted unanimously at our February meeting to approach you in an official capacity to support the Hendries black oak located at the corner of Eliot St. and Central Ave..
