Overview: The recent Manchester-By-The-Sea Select Board meeting focused on several issues, including a significant legal case involving the Massachusetts Attorney General and the town of Milton, financial implications of unpaid bills, rental revenue declines, and major capital project planning. A resident from Blossom Lane brought to the board’s attention a legal case concerning the Massachusetts Attorney General, Andrea Campbell, and the town of Milton. The case, currently under deliberation at the state’s highest court, revolves around Milton’s refusal to adopt mandated zoning changes. The Attorney General argued for her authority to enforce compliance, while Milton contended that the law only allows for withholding grants as penalties. The court’s decision could impact how local zoning laws are enforced across Massachusetts. The resident suggested that Manchester-By-The-Sea consider seeking legal counsel to understand potential implications and perhaps delay votes on zoning changes until the ruling is made, allowing for more informed decisions at the spring town meeting.
