Actually, Rep Tom Stanley has been extraordinarily supportive of Lincoln interests.
Tom is a very accomplished politician who is respected by his fellow legislators. His chief of staff has a well-developed relationship with our Town leaders, His constituency support structure is very well developed and responsive to individual concerns. He is very effective at shepherding our annual citizen petitions and other actions through the legislative process. He has personally responded to Lincoln concerns and requests for help with various Commonwealth agencies, and has helped us work through a number of issues affecting our area. He has successfully passed Lincoln-specific legislation which has provided funding to help resolve some issues. Others in the Town government share these observations. I could go on and on, but I submit that losing Tom Stanley as our representative is not a good thing. It remains to be seen if Lincoln will receive the same level of excellent support from the new district structure. regards, Buck ================================================== Buckner M.

While I don't have any particular issue with Rep. Stanley, if an issue came up that split Lincoln with Waltham, I don't think there's any doubt whose interests he would advocate for. I think our town interests have more in common with other rural-suburban towns. I don't think our culture actually aligns very well with Weston and Wellesley and I think we have less in common with the W's than they do with each other, but I think the proposed district is better for us than the current one at least. -Bob
