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 agreement. Apologies if I'm mischaracterizing this but apparently there was a committee that was formed to look at this question so we should have some wariness about this and seek to clarify their positions on this.
Keep in mind that at certain points in our time in this long compact we may have thought we were getting the short end of the stick so I would defer to people with longer institutional knowledge to give some historical context here. I second that the evening was a great way to meet and hear from candidates from some of the boards that get less visibility. Hurrah for all of the people putting themselves out there to help our community. - Louis On Fri, Mar 18, 2022 at 10:31 AM Michelle Barnes via Lincoln < lincoln@lincolntalk.org> wrote: > 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?
