Louise Miller Announced As New Medford Budget Director

Medford Mayor Michael McGlynn has appointed Louise L. Miller to replace outgoing Director of Budget Stephanie Burke, according to a Tuesday missive from Medford City Hall.

Burke - a candidate for mayor - recently resigned as director of budget, based on the potential for a perceived conflict of interest.

Miller has worked as Medford’s Chief Procurement Officer since 2012, and the mayor’s office states she has “played an integral role in the finances of the city since being appointed.”

“I am confident that there will be a smooth transition from Ms. Burke to Ms. Miller in the preparation and presentation of the City Fiscal Year 2016 Budget,” said McGlynn in the statement.

Miller is licensed to practice law in state and national courts, and holds degrees from MIT, Harvard, and Boston University.
