Let me remind all that the TM was packed for that vote, and the proponents for
funding could not reach a 2/3 majority…the outcome was hardly the outcome of
the work of a small number “vocal minority” at a Town Meeting where “a few

Absolutely no one is refusing to accept that Option C won at the December
town meeting. That is an absurd claim.
People are, however, questioning the entire town meeting process and the
ability for a few people to have such a weighted effect on how the votes
will turn out.

re: let the firestorm proceed!
Agree, 100% with Laura and everything she said!
This forum has turned into an echo chamber. I've lost any, and all, interest
in anything that comes for the ~12 or so people that feel compelled to post
almost daily with the same rhetoric.
There is a simple
As I recall, that vote wasn't at a town meeting, it was through the voting
process afterward. Where the people voting didn't approve of the design
that was being presented, and perhaps didn't fully understand the
implication that rejecting the design would also reject the state funding.

Yes and there was the famous meeting where few people showed up and voted down state funding for the school and cost us 60 plus million dollars because the vocal minority showed up. So we can thank our high tax bills on this horrible process.Adam M HogueCell: (978) 828-6184On Dec 19, 2023, at

I believe the proposal is to vote after, not in advance. So any floor
amendments would already have been established.
In my mind, the pinnacle of "democracy" is the vote. Not floor amendments,

The 2 minute limit for speakers at town meeting has raised some questions.
I’m not part of the group that governs town meetings but have run meetings many

My daughter and I enjoy the three or four times a year we have to be in a

Would be nice however to create a fund - preferably from those who wish to

Almost all power outages are caused by falling trees. The best way to prevent
these is to cut all the trees that are near power lines. However, people in
Lincoln want to protect our trees, so it becomes a balance between protecting
trees and protecting power lines. The power companies know
