Celebrate Milton's diversity...or uniformity? by Bob Hiss

October 4, 2010

Yesterday, our MRTC sponsored a table at the 2010 Celebrate Milton event, held at the high school. Many thanks to Pat Gannon for leading the planning for this event and to our many members who staffed the table to help out. We had a visit from State Senate Candidate, Bub Burr, who we are very hopeful will defeat Brian Joyce in the November Election.

We also watched a little partisanship on display from the Celebrate Milton podium yesterday as one of the speakers helped to remind all of us where our current governor resides and of our obligation to support his candidacy. Obviously at an event that supports our town's diversity, we were a little surprised as this call for uniformity. But that's OK, this kind of stuff rolls off our backs like water off a duck.

Now we are in campaign season and you will see our members actively working on campaigns for GOP candidates. We will be making calls for the Baker campaign, holding signs, putting up yard signs and doing all we can to get some good folks elected in order to restore some balance on Beacon Hill.

See you around town.
