The Patriot Ledger reported that the Milton Board of Selectmen unanimously voted John Shields chairman of the board. He will take over from Kathy Fagan. (read the full story here.)

The story also mentioned that the board was looking at a permitting process for movie and television production companies. This may stem from inquiries recently received from a production outfit that wanted to use Milton locations in their filming of “The Company Men.” Oh boy, movies!

“The Company” is a film about three men dealing with corporate downsizing. You can find some information about the film at the IMDB site here.
