Re: [LincolnTalk] electric-only only homes in Lincoln?

Elaine, thank you for speaking out! You have listed some excellent things to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (drive less, drive electric/hybrid cars, fly less, etc.) Some of these are hard for a Town to legally restrict, but can be addressed by state and federal policy (e.g., rebates to encourage

[LincolnTalk] electric-only homes in Lincoln?

I don't tend to speak out about town issues, especially those that so easily make me a good (no more oil-heated houses in Lincoln) person or a bad (anti-environment!) person. But I do have questions about this proposal. I am an environmentalist as much as I can afford to be and have the same anxie

I believe it is a cost split proportionally based on number of students from each town using a rolling average to prevent big year to year swings in Town cost. Andy From: Lincoln On Behalf Of Gordon Woodington Sent: Friday, March 18, 2022 2:20 PM To: Sara Mattes Cc: Lincoln Talk Subjec

[LincolnTalk] ISO poultry supplies

My son is rekindling the poultry passion he nurtured at Codman Farm while in middle school, and trying to set things up frugally -- if anyone here is getting rid of poultry raising equipment (feeders, waterers, heat lamps, etc.), I would be happy to come take it away. Many thanks! Virginia Rundell

Re: [LincolnTalk] Question about contested 2022 Lincoln races

Lisa and Gordon are both roughly correct. The state first sets minimum contributions for each town that cover a “Foundation Budget” for LSRHS. The minimum contributions are in theory adjusted by wealth factors in each town (based on property values and income) but in practice both Sudbury and L

Re: [LincolnTalk] Question about contested 2022 Lincoln races

My recollection is that there is a state mandated minimum contribution irrespective of percentage of students from each town (15%). In the 1970’s Lincoln represented 15-20% of the LS population. As recently as 5 years ago Lincoln represented less than 15% (perhaps 12%)? Someone closer to the f

Re: [LincolnTalk] Question about contested 2022 Lincoln races

Simple minded; is cost split proportionally based on number of students from each town? Obvious that would then fluctuate on a year basis or so?? Gordon Woodington On Fri, Mar 18, 2022 at 1:59 PM Sara Mattes wrote: > There is a long history of Sudbury feeling the agreement should require a > l

Re: [LincolnTalk] Question about contested 2022 Lincoln races

There is a long history of Sudbury feeling the agreement should require a larger payment from Lincoln When I was on the Select Board, it was very a hot topic. We had a local study committee to look into other potential regional options. There were none. I would be curious to know where the push to

Re: [LincolnTalk] Question about contested 2022 Lincoln races

Michelle, Personally for me the biggest thing, for the LSSC (LSRH) races, is how each candidate looks upon the Lincoln Sudbury Regional High School Agreement. As I understand there might be a clamoring from Sudbury residents that Lincoln is not 'paying its fair share' and they want to re-open the a

Re: [LincolnTalk] ENDORSEMENT: Jim Hutchinson for Select Board (vote March 28)

Dear LincolnTalk, I couldn’t agree more with Andy Payne’s below endorsement of Jim Hutchinson for Select Board based on my personal experience of working with him on the water commission since 2019. As he said at the candidate forum, he really is here to listen and best serve our community, not

Re: [LincolnTalk] Question about contested 2022 Lincoln races

As a former (and unsuccessful) candidate in a contested race for an open seat here in town, my opinion is that any challenger has to make a strong case as to why they should replace the incumbent. If that case is not made, then there really is no reason to displace the incumbent. And (frankly)

Fellow residents, I’m writing to endorse Jim Hutchinson for Select Board, and I urge you to vote for him in the town election on March 28th (the Monday after town meeting). This is an easy endorsement to write: I’ve worked with Jim closely for a number of years on Lincoln’s Finance Committee and

[LincolnTalk] Question about contested 2022 Lincoln races

Dear LincolnTalk, I’m wondering whether the candidates challenging incumbents in the two 2022 town elections, or anyone else for that matter, might be able to shed any light on why they’ve entered the race? From the candidate forum I did not get a strong sense of that. (Rightly so, in order to
