OSSIPEE — Carroll County Commissioner David Babson is seeking his fourth term, hoping to be a watchdog over county funds and an advocate for agriculture.
Babson (R-Ossipee) occupies the District 2 seat, which covers the middle of the county. The District 2 commissioner represents Albany, Hale’s Location, Madison, Moultonborough, Ossipee, Sandwich and Tamworth. In this election, the seat would be for four years. Commissioners’ seats cycle between being four-year and two-year terms.
The intersection at route 16 and 171/Granite Road has become a serious accident just waiting to happen. The heavy traffic during the summer months with vacationers and the traffic coming from ME off Pic Pocket/ Granite Road is a major safety problem. Trying to make a left turn off of Granite Road to go South, crossing 16 and turning left onto 171 off of 16 is a death wish. Cars coming from the South off a blind curve have no warning they are approaching a busy intersection at Granite Road and 171.
