After two terms serving on Milton Town Council, Vice Mayor Kevin Kelly, 70, will officially leave office in April after declining to seek re-election.
“It has been a great honor to have served the people of Milton,” he said. “I have worked determinedly for the people of our terrific town, and I hope I will be judged to have served honorably. I have always believed that as important as it is to make decisions, it is equally important to step back and assess the impact of the decisions made, and I believe that is best accomplished as a private citizen.”

The Airborne Strategic Command, Control, and Communications Program Office (PMA-271) bid farewell to Capt. William E. Coleman, Jr. as he relinquished command to Capt. Adam T. Scott during a change of command ceremony Jan. 8.
The unique outdoor winter event saw family, friends, and co-workers look on from their cars or over the internet as two former United States Naval Academy classmates exchanged responsibility of leading the program.
It wouldn’t be the first time that the F-35 has seen delays.
Here s What You Need to Remember: A full-rate production will be the final seal of approval from the DoD to American taxpayers as well as foreign customers that the fifth-generation advanced stealth jet fighter has been fully tested. More importantly, this approval would mean the aircraft has been deemed effective against threats from potential peer adversaries, while it is also able to meet its maintenance goals and production quotas.
The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter may be one of the most advanced aircraft ever produced, but there is little denying that it has had its share of problems. The program has been plagued by numerous delays, and this week it was reported that yet again the Department of Defense (DoD) will be forced to hold off on bringing the F-35 to a full-rate of production.
