Lincoln's Green Energy Committee supported a stabilization fund for climate mitigation. The committee voted to authorize Chair Paul Shorb to advise the Select Board of the decision, with five members in favor and no votes against. Members rejected Ed Lang's alternative proposal for an opt-in charitable contribution model and reaffirmed their preference for the existing opt-out, on-bill mechanism.
The stabilization fund would require a two-thirds Town Meeting vote to establish, with subsequent majority votes required to appropriate money for specific climate projects.
