5. Concerns with Planning Board working in Milton’s best interest

““Planning Board member Maggie Oldfield said that the board should “stop trying to force everything into this model. I’m so frustrated by it. It’s just not going to work, and we’re not going to be happy.

“The state has really screwed us. They have really screwed the rapid transit (communities) . . . Let’s see if those 12 towns are suckers to do this zoning.””
