Glass, Taylor defeat challengers in town election; community center vote fairly close

In the two contested races in the March 25 town election, Select Board member Jennifer Glass defeated Frank Clark to win a third term, 64%–36%, while Gary Taylor bested Sarah Postlethwait to retain his seat on the Planning Board, 58%–42%. 

The ballot question on funding for the community center, which required a simple majority, passed by a margin of 57%–43%. The gap was much narrower than the corresponding Town Meeting vote two days earlier, when residents approved the measure 81%–19%, easily surpassing the required two-thirds threshold.

Voter turnout was 35% as 1,744 of the 5,018 Lincoln residents cast ballots.
