The Milford Review - Milford LIVE!

Kenton Endures Leg Hall Tradition
by Bryan Shupe
Freshman State Representative Harvey Kenton (R-Milford) has reached
a milestone in his fledgling lawmaker career, having endured the traditional
friendly hazing that awaits any member of the State House of Representatives
who works their first bill.
Rep. Kenton was the prime House sponsor of Senate Bill 6, a bill that
would allow the City of Milford to change its charter in regard to local
elections. The city holds its municipal elections on the fourth Saturday in
April. The bill would allow those elections to be moved to the preceding
Saturday in the unlikely event the usual date falls during Easter weekend
– as it does this year.

rushed the
bill to the floor on Jan. 26, a day before an expected snow storm, to
ensure it was sent to the governor prior to the General Assembly’s six
week budget-writing break. Rep. Kenton said the charter revision
needed to get done before the recess because of the time needed to
advertise the election change.
Rep. Kenton said he was “a little bit nervous” about working his
first bill, but that the experience was ultimately “a lot of fun.”
After this year, the City of Milford won’t have to worry about an
Easter weekend conflict with their municipal elections until the year
2038.
