Milton residents were in the news this week.

This morning there was a piece in the Boston Globe by Bella English discussing the challenges of families with students about to graduate from college. The job market is not so hot and when a graduate does land a job it can create an awkward situation with groups of friends still struggling to land work.

Profiled in the piece are the Ring and Stapleton families both of whom reside here in Milton. Ms. Stapleton , whose daughter Kate is graduating from Loyola College in Maryland, is quoted as saying, “I think we all feel we’re in this together.”

The Massachuessetts Department of Transportation cannot seem to keep itself out of the news. This past week Alan LeBovidge resigned from the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority. The resignation comes on the heels of the recent flap over back ups at the tolls over the Easter holiday.

LeBovidge will be replaced by Milton resident Jeffrey Mullan who joined the administration two years ago as under-secretary of transportation. Mullan currently sits on the Milton Board of Appeals.
