The Board of Selectmen voted to pull 5 planning articles from the October Town Warrant. “I recommend this reluctantly,” said Member Conlon. Town Meeting recently made a fall town meeting a regular part of Milton’s legislative calendar in large part to focus on town planning issues. The Planning Board, however, is unprepared to address the articles they submitted.
A recent report from the Department of Revenue had a number of recommendations regarding how to improve government operations, specifically but not exclusively around financial management. (See related post here.). Two recommendations complemented each other: Centralizing authority in town hall, expanding office of Town Administrator to manage day to day affairs and expanding the board for selectmen from 3 members to 5.
Late yesterday afternoon at Turners Pond. We welcome you photos. Please submit to frank@mytownmatters.com. Click on image for larger view.

Milton’s first home game of the season was tough to take as Stoughton romped to 40-13 victory.
The Wildcats scored first but Stoughton responded with 33 points in the first half and didn’t look back, thanks in large part to their fullback Joe Girolamo.
