Dear Stephanie, Thanks so much for your interest in the webinar. Hopefully you will join us this week as we all share ideas and learn together about electrification of buildings as a way to combat the climate emergency. To be clear, the Citizen's petition, if passed, would simply ask the legislature to give Lincoln the option to require new construction to be all electric. At that time, Lincoln could begin a robust discussion about what works best for our town and would require a vote at a town meeting in the future. I hope this helps clear up some of your concerns. Best,
