Milton mayor, town manager recognized at meeting

Milton Mayor Ted Kanakos and Town Clerk Kristy Rogers, who was recently promoted as Milton’s new town manager, were recognized Jan. 23 with a Patriot Award for supporting Milton Police Department Chief Robert Longo’s duty to the Delaware Army National Guard Reserve.

Richard Ruben, a representative with the Department of Defense’s Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve program, presented Kanakos and Rogers each with a plaque for their accommodation of Longo’s duties, which may at times take him away from his full-time job with the town.
