Writing about Lancaster, Massachusetts

  Adobe Firefire AI: "Wind Turbines Against  A Blue Sky" Lancaster's Community Choice Aggregation Program will soon have to sign a new contract for electric supply after December, but the town hasn't released any information yet.   Harvard's program just announced a new 2-year contract:  they have locked in 14.841 cents/kWh for two years.    Even better, 100% of that power will come from renewable sources.

    By Adobe Firefly AI: "Decisions Being Made In A Dark Smokey Room" Steve Kerrigan clearly bit off more than he could chew when he attempted to force Heather Lennon off the Historical Commission.  Heather is a long-time member and the current chair of the Lancaster Historical Commission:  for the past two months Select Board Chair Steve Kerrigan has been spearheading a one-man campaign to remove her, including attempting to "file a resignation" on her behalf.  No town volunteer should have to endure this nonsense -- and the town shouldn't have to pay for this.  It should have been resolved two months ago when it started, and it needs to end this evening.
