In yesterday’s Globe, a story on how residents of Milton have enough
signatures to force a town wide ballot question on HCA.
The link is below.
If it’s behind a pay wall for you, essentially:
“We’re very pleased with the energy around this effort,” Swenson said.
The goal of the drive is to force a vote, defeat the zoning article, and
put town officials back to work to develop a consensus zoning plan that
can earn wider support.

Other towns have done similarly, some opting out, others suing the
state.
Also:
I have yet to hear an answer as to why our housing numbers are lumped
into those of an Air Force base and why we have not attempted to change
that?
Regarding town meeting voting. It’s inexcusable, not to mention
disrespectful, to residents and a major reason that those with families
cannot/do not attend, for a single vote to take an hour and a half of
waiting.
I would also suggest that large three or four story condo buildings and
hundreds of additional cars is a radical change to our town.
