Milton resident John Hajjar has accused the Governor Stoughton Land Trust Committee of violating the Open Town Meeting Law. He claims they have used executive session without a valid purpose.

Mr. Hajjar submitted a 90 page document to the Norfolk District Attorney’s office. Kevin Power, an assistant DA, is going to investigate the claim.

This is the latest development in the ongoing efforts to come up with a  plan regarding the Governor Stoughton’s farm land. He left the land to benefit the poor of Milton. The Board of Selectmen have appointed the committee to develop recommendations on how to make best use of the land consistent with Gov. Stoughton’s wishes.
