The day began gloriously. It was like many a Memorial Day. The parade left town hall. The band played. Officials spoke at Milton Cemetery, notably Sergeant Greg Kelly of Dorchester who extolled those gathered to “get involved” and that the only person stopping you from doing what you need or want to do . . . is you.

The Milton High School Crew boys varsity team took the bronze in 4+ event at last Sunday’s state championships put on by the Massachusetts Public School Rowing Association. It was a clear, cool day and a long day; but a great day for Milton Crew.
But the freedom that they fought for, and the country grand they wrought for, Is their monument to-day, and for aye.

Dear Neighbor,
The Massachusetts Senate has just passed our budget proposal for Fiscal Year (FY) 2014. We closed a $1.2 billion budget gap while increasing support to schools and communities without jeopardizing our future with ballooning debt, one-time fixes and taxes.
