Fellow Lincolnites: I urge you to cast your vote for Jim Hutchinson for Select Board in the upcoming town election on March 28th.
I have served on both the Green Energy Committee and the Water Commission with Jim Hutchinson. When Jim volunteered to join the Water Commission, the Water Department was in dire straits. His expertise in the intricacies of municipal finance was critical as we dealt with the need for substantial capital investment, but equally important was his ability to quickly understand the issues and suggest the best way to tackle each one. After a year of his leadership, the Department was back on track. What really stood out to me, however, was that Jim treats every person with respect. Whether it is a new Superintendent, a disgruntled water customer, a member of the Water Department staff, or one of his fellow committee members, he listens deeply to their concerns and strives to reach consensus on all decisions. Moreover, Jim has no agenda but to do what is best for the town. I believe that Jim offers just the right expertise and temperament to make an excellent member of the Select Board, and I urge you to vote for him on March 28th.
