Milton Election Results 2012

Join Patch for the latest Milton election news and results throughout the day.

Update- Today’s federal and state elections are hotly contested, but here in Milton, one of the most discussed ballot items is Question 4: whether the town should adopt the Community Preservation Act.

In yards and near polling places today, the white and blue of the “Yes on 4” signs and the green and white of the “Vote No on Question 4” signs were prominent in Milton.

Steve Fruzzetti, a Town Meeting Member from Precinct 7, held signs urging residents to vote against the measure today on Edge Hill Road.

“Our taxes are high enough,” said Fruzzetti. “I think we should keep our taxes in the general fund instead of earmarking them for something.”

At Milton High School, Tom Callahan was showing support for Question 4.

“I think it’s good for Milton,” Callahan said.

He pointed to the act’s designated areas of green space, historical preservation and reasonably-priced housing are needed in Milton. Callahan also supports the fact that the state would match funds on more than 25 percent of Milton’s contribution.

“The state doesn’t give away money that often,” said Callahan.

Update- Before 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Tricia Murray stood on Edge Hill Road with a sign for Republican Senator Scott Brown in her right hand and one for Democratic Congressman Stephen Lynch in her left hand. “I want to show you can split the ticket and be a true independent,” Murray said as cars drove into the Cunningham Hall parking lot.
