FACT: Milton’s election prep has been free from wrongdoing, and Rick Mohrig had no interference or improper influence.

PROOF: Milton’s Legal Response Regarding 2023 Municipal Elections (linked here)

This document is the response from the City of Milton’s attorney documenting that Rick had no improper influence or interference, and clearing the City of any wrongdoing. The letter is in response to charges that Milton committed errors while preparing to conduct the 2023 municipal election. 

FACT: Rick recommended the 2nd polling location be in District 3 when he supported the Committee’s 2 polling location guidance.

PROOF: April 10 City Council Meeting and April 17 City Council Work Session Meeting.

April 10th City Council Meeting (recording and meeting content linked here), starting at 1:48:00, Rick recommends the precinct map with a polling location in District 3 (on the East side or green side of the Option 1 precinct map below).

When considering two polling locations, either East-West (as shown in the Option 1 map, which has District 3 polling locations as the only two options for the East polling location) or a North-South division:

Rick Mohrig: “When I look at the maps of the [two polling locations], I like option 1, where you’ve got the east side and a west side, because you still encompass all of District 3, which is one of the highest density in one place.”

April 17th City Council Work Session Meeting, (recording and meeting content linked here), starting at 2:32:00, the City Manager and Mayor shift from District 3 to District 2 for the second polling location. Rick then supports them in this change.

When considering the second polling location between the Court at the Milton Public Safety Complex (District 3 and current District 3 polling location), Cambridge High School (District 3 but not a city facility), and Milton City Park and Preserve (District 2):

City Manager: “If you decided that the second location was going to be in [District 3], then I recommend we probably lean towards Cambridge as opposed to the Court because we could get overwhelmed there. Not inside, for capacity wise, but parking. Whereas Cambridge, we’re not going to overwhelm Cambridge.”

Mayor: “I would much rather use a city facility, that’s just my --”

City Manager: “Oh, for the reasons that we talked about last time, just pure control over everything from the physical aspects to the network to locking things up and making sure things are secure, city facilities are just a bit more advantageous to us.”

FACT: Rick has protected Milton from high-density development.

PROOF EXAMPLE: Rick’s 2016 Vote Against High-Density Development (article linked here) and the June 20, 2016 City Council Meeting (video linked here).

Read the Milton Herald article about the June 20, 2016 City Council meeting in which Rick Mohrig casts his vote opposing high-density development in the most important zoning matter in Milton history.

Watch the video of the City Council meeting here — Rick voices his opinion starting at 6:19:30, prioritizing the voice of citizens. The voting motion starts at 6:27:20.

Note: According to City officials, the video of the June 20, 2016 City Council Meeting “did not situate properly on the City Council playlist.” A recent Open Records Request for this video has it now situated correctly. Rick’s opponent and the Milton Families First PAC has deceptively been posting the first unofficial vote, which occurred in April of 2016. Rick spent significant time with impacted residents between the April unofficial vote and the final vote in June.

FACT: Milton Families First is funded…

  • 51% by private equity firms

  • 18% by its two founders

Milton Families First founders contributed $3,800 to Phil Cranmer’s campaign (see Cranmer’s disclosure above). Through Milton Families First, they spent an additional $10,148+ supporting Phil Cranmer. They’ve also spent $3,025+ in ads opposing Rick Mohrig.
