In a letter to the Susan Galvin, Town Clerk, Bernie Lynch stated that he will not seek re-election to the Planning Board. Mr. Lynch, who has served on the board for close to 25 years, did not give a specific reason.

Mr. Lynch thanked the voters of the town “for allowing me to serve on the Milton Planning Board . . . and the members of the Planning Board for electing me at times Chairman and Secretary.” He said it was a pleasure working with them all and that he would be following up with  a notarized copy of this expression of intent.

While Mr. Lynch did to give a reason, he did include the passage from Ecclesiastes 3 that begins “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven .  .  .”

In another development, Bryan Furze, who is currently chair of the Granite Avenue Park & Ride Committee, has pulled papers for a seat on the Planning Board.
