I’ve said this before and I will say it again: if there is an issue that anyone believes should go to a town-wide ballot and for whatever reason it is before town meeting, all that needs to happen is this: someone should get up to the microphone at Town Meeting and say “I move that the Town Meeting

I couldn't disagree more...we need to make voting accessable...time for change Sara.. time for change now. Let us vote electronically...all of us remotely. C'mon most towns do it now. New comers including my family all recognize this! The system is sooo antiquated. Join us now before the march

Re: [LincolnTalk] Wow 800 Lincoln folk vote at STM

I had thought (could be wrong) that Hanscom residents vote in Lincoln.  That could explain the 5000 registered voters. It is unlikely that residents of Hanscom would be motivated to attend town meeting and vote on local Lincoln issues. I’d love to  know if this could be the case.  Davida Loewenst

A town meeting is an all day plus affair which disenfranchises many younger voters with families and other voters who are unable to attend all day meetings. At our last special town meeting in early December we had 878 voters check-in with the following distribution of voters by age. 18-29 30-39 4

Peter and Andy, Thank you for detailing a plan for revampment of our voting system that makes so much sense. It really is a no-brainer. And the percentages broken down by age that Peter provided are quite telling. Kind Regards, Scott Clary 617-968-5769 Sent from a mobile device - please excuse

Good evening, Lincoln! My son is in need of a snare drum for home use, as well as cymbals. We would consider a full drum set as well. It looks like we’re in this for the long haul, and he struggles transporting to and from school due to hypotonia. I would prefer to buy used over new. Thank yo

I'm neutral on this topic but that won't stop me from making some comments and asking some questions: First, a few thoughts about comments of younger persons with families. Remember that 80 year olds (ex. Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, etc.) are having babies so don't forget about the older people with

Dear List, We could use a babysitter who has some availability between now and Christmas — perhaps a college student home for break, or older high schooler? Must have experience with infants ( we have a 12-mo-old) and know how to have fun with a 6-year-old boy. Thanks in advance, Bethany

Re: [LincolnTalk] Wow 800 Lincoln folk vote at STM

Town meeting is special, a chance to discuss and decide on issues. The camaraderie is cathartic after intense pre-election debating. However, when it comes time to vote, i think emotion should not play a role and therefore I prefer electronic voting. I trust my fellow residents to do their homewor
