Effingham goes to the polls Tuesday, May 11, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. for town elections, and town meeting will be held May 15 at 9 a.m. (both at Effingham Elementary School) to vote on the town warrant, which is available on the town website: effinghamnh.net.
Meanwhile, today (May 1) is the last day for roadside cleanup. Blue bags and gloves available at the dump; please call in your bag locations for pickup, at (603) 539-7770. The whole town thanks you!
Hopefully on May 11th the Effingham "Reign of terror" will end. My one and only experience over 30 years residency with a selectman's meeting was not what I expected. The attitude was one of "We are in charge and you are not." . This was over a simple matter that should have been easily resolved having to do with the town contracted snow plow destroying my Property. They took out a Granite mailbox that was in the same place over 30 years AND the branches off a 25 high Ft tree that was right behind it. They claimed snow plow immunity. There is no such thing. N.H. state police, N.H. atty general office and the insurance commission agreed with me and I was FINALLY made whole by the contractors Insurance carrier. This is how little towns like ours gets our butts sued off. Then there was the nasty comment about my paved drive way being 2 ft in to the rd when it ends behind my mailbox which is at least 2 feet off of the road and traveled way. B.S. ! Can you tell I am not happy? Do you blame me? There is more but not enough room here.
