Last week, I said goodbye to a wonderful group of people at the Milford Daily and MetroWest Daily newspapers. I will miss working with such talented journalists, but am excited to join a new team. @milforddaily @metrowestdaily

Local business owners have a lot of questions but no solid answers from police, after a body was discovered at a storage facility in Milford.

Milford just voted to buy the private water company in town. At least a couple references to "controlling destiny" in arguments for the purchase tonight.

The vote was close and turnout was low, but the debt exclusion passed in Hopedale. hopedale-ma.gov/sites/g/file…
Chatted with Milford's animal control officer this morning, and he is NOT pulling punches in this week's heat wave. Leaving your dog in the car or tied up outside could land you a hefty fine, animal cruelty charges, and more. As @Norman_MillerMW writes: metrowestdailynews.com/story…
Milford's remote Town Meeting was supposed to start at 7 p.m., but, according to @Milford_TV, officials are waiting for a quorum.

And Town Meeting is underway! 114 members are absent.

Hundreds flooded the common in Hopkinton this evening to support the family of Hopkinton 16-year-old Mikayla Miller, and to demand justice.

What happens when a principal leaves a school? @zanerazz digs into this after a school in Framingham zipped through five principals in seven years. metrowestdailynews.com/story…

Replying to @chris_m_gavin
@chris_m_gavin Someone left a message on a machine looking for "the Gavin guy." He thought you might know which ponds around Milford were stocked with trout.😆

Is anyone out there participating in a work-sharing arrangement with your employer to manage childcare? I'm interested in shining a light on this childcare solution at my newspaper.
Did anyone in the greater Milford MA area hear loud booming noises last night? At least one person I saw mention it said the boom shook the house. Police in Hopedale and Milford only got a couple reports, which they investigated, but didn't find anything.
Massachusetts might be allowing people 75 and older to get vaccines, but according to reporting by my colleague @henrymetrowest, it's almost impossible for seniors to actually get an appointment. milforddailynews.com/story/n…

Milford Board of Selectmen will now be a Select Board. Town Meeting voted to approve to articles changing the name after some debate, including a dissenting voice referencing Orwell's 1984 as a cautionary tale.

Town Meeting members are remote, but the town's three selectmen are together at the Town Hall, masked and at a table together.

Milford's overnight shelter for the homeless opens tonight for the first time this season, at St. Mary's Church on Winter Street. Accepting guests at 9 p.m., doors close at 10 p.m. Read more about it here: milforddailynews.com/story/n…
Glenda Hazard won the open Hopedale Board of Selectmen seat tonight, beating opponents Michael Collins and Kaplan Hasanoglu by a landslide. Unofficial results give Hazard 427 votes, Collins 244, and Hasanoglu 170.

Hey, moms/dads/guardians of New England. I'm a journalist doing a deep dive into issues surrounding childcare, with a focus on finding solutions. What needs to be solved? Message me here or email me at [email protected].
Hearing from more people supporting Trump than Biden today. Voting appears to be steady across the three polling places in Milford and Framingham I've been to so far. Short lines inside, but less than a 5 min wait to vote. Really cold when the wind blows outside! #Election2020

Two more polling places visited and support seems to be evening out. About an equal number of Trump and Biden supporters. Predictably, some interest in down ballot races and statewide questions, but most people coming out primarily to vote for president.
