Kristin,
Thank you for your well thought out and reasoned response. I won hundred
percent agree that the history of our country good and bad should be taught.

John,
Thank you for having the guts to speak up. I know from my conversations with
parents that many feel the same way you do but “don’t want to ruffle feathers“.
I, like you, care more about the education of the students and giving them a
solid foundation to learn anything they want to in the
As I grew up in Lincoln, I witnessed the town's innovative and thoughtful
decision-making as it navigated change while maintaining its unique rural
character.
I left Lincoln for school and work in 1975 and returned in 2000, happy to

I hope I have earned your vote for the Board of Selects with my clear plan

One of my most important goals on the planning board is to engage our
community and understand everyone's perspective.
In that spirit, I urge all citizens of Lincoln to visit the polls tomorrow
to vote in the town election.

Friends,
Three years ago I resigned from my Housing Commission tasks protesting the
arrogance and the whimsical planning considerations. Valerie was a patient
sounding board and I admired her cool demeanor. I vote for her.

I would like to respond to some recent posts here that seem to critique a
move towards fossil-fuel-free homes as an expensive luxury for high-minded
hypocrites who blissfully ignore adverse cost impacts on those economically
less well-off. Here are some relevant facts that may be of interest to LT
With all due respect:
1. If it is true, as has been asserted, that building your new home to be

would not need a law to force people to do so. One cannot have it both ways!

1. Curious as many people on here have mentioned heat pumps don’t work that
well in winter. And have had to supplement them when it’s really cold

Hello Mr. Flint,
Could you please tell us a bit more about the direction you would take the

headed in? There are two seats open on the Board and two incumbents running

1. Correct, some heat pumps have not worked well when it gets really cold

I applaud your retrofit efforts. Investing in better insulation is smart

OK-I am going to weigh in here as I have been “attending “ most the meeting

It is called the Housing CHOICE Act for a reason.
It is NOT a mandate.

I appreciate the question. The reason that I am running is that I saw a

Sarah - It was my understanding that once the new zoning is in place, if the

majority rather than a 2/3 super-majority to pass.

Ephraim,
What other mechanisms do you believe exist for reasinable housing
development to occur in this area? The only significant open areas within
the propised South Lincoln zoning district have either been preserved or
are environmentally sensitive and therefore unbuildable. Existing

It's helpful to understand that by state law, all zones have a "by right"
use. Various other mechanisms - overlays, special permits, etc, - may allow
something other than the "by right" use, but there is always a "by right"
use. The "by right" use is what the owner of the land has a right to build.
