00:00.460 --> 00:03.900
Forty minutes east of here, there’s a town called Milton.

00:03.960 --> 00:07.560
We used to lose to them at football. Now we just learn from them.

00:07.620 --> 00:11.480
Three years back, a company came to Milton. Polite as church.

00:11.540 --> 00:13.200
Wouldn’t say its name,

00:13.260 --> 00:17.480
and the council signed papers promising not to ask out loud.

00:17.540 --> 00:22.960
At the first meeting, it was a hundred jobs. By spring, 800.

00:23.020 --> 00:26.880
Nobody ever wrote a number down. Today, it’s 28.

00:26.940 --> 00:29.500
The hum started in October. All legal.

00:29.560 --> 00:35.240
Milton’s noise rules were written in 1989, before anything hummed all night.

00:35.300 --> 00:39.540
Come election day, Milton voted out every soul who signed.

00:39.600 --> 00:41.080
Didn’t stop the hum.

00:41.140 --> 00:45.240
Folks think the moral of Milton is: never say yes.

00:45.300 --> 00:48.780
No. It’s: never say yes in the dark.

00:48.840 --> 00:50.630
We’re doing it different.
