Letter To The Editor

 

The new Town Office proposal is great!  The only tax impact is the first five years.  Then no TAX impact until the bond is paid off.   The total break-even point is within 15 years.

 

The estimated savings over last year’s proposal is about a $400, 00 and we have a brand new building, meeting all the safety requirements!

 

In the end, we will own instead of renting a poorly insulated building with a leaky roof.

 

Your Road Agent,

Gordon Ellis

 


 

Letter

 

To the residents of Epsom:

It is time again to do what is right rather than what is easy. It has come to my attention that there is an open seat up for grabs through write-in on the Budget Committee that you will be voting on in a couple weeks.

 

Based on my past experience on the Board of Selectmen and the Budget Committee, and my knowledge of the intentions of some of the current members of the Budget Committee, I have decided to run as a write-in candidate for the one year term for Budget Committee.

 

You may recall a number of years ago an attempt to put a stronghold on some people (good people) in town through efforts of a previous Board of Selectmen, roughly around the years of 2000-2004. Some of us stepped in and cleared the air. We now have the strongest Board of Selectmen I have known since becoming a resident in 2004. Those attacks, however, are being regenerated through the efforts of some through the Budget Committee. It’s no surprise, really. There is a constant battle between progress and status quo.

 

I, and many others, are on the side of progress. I would like to see our town grow and flourish into a center for business for our great state. We need a Budget Committee, Planning Board, Board of Selectmen, and Department Heads, who all are focused on doing what is right for the Town of Epsom, not what fits the personal agendas of a select few.

 

Please write me in for Budget Committee. March 8th the polls are open from 8:00-7:00 PM. See you there.

Letter To The Editor

 

On March 8th, Epsom voters will have a choice. They can continue to rent space for their town office or they can vote to build a new town office facility on town-owned land next to the police station. If we chose to continue to rent, it will cost taxpayers $457,000 over the next ten years and a total of $1,071,400 over the next 20 years with nothing to show for this huge expenditure of tax dollars. If we chose to build, the cost to the taxpayer will be $427,000 and the building will be paid for.

 

This will be accomplished by funding half of the project using funds that the town has put away in the unassigned fund over the years. The new building will not be a fancy Taj Mahal like some of the towns in the state have built at a cost of millions. It will be a practical building that meets our needs and provides for better security, public access and a much better facility for our residents and staff.

 

We have been renting for many years and all the money we spent over those years is gone and we still face ever increasing costs going forward, if we continue to rent. Every year we put this decision off costs us close to $40,000.  On March 8th please consider the future of Epsom and vote to approve Article one at Town Election.

 

Thanks,

Don Harty

Epsom Selectman

 


 

Letter To The Editor

 

To the Editor,

Almost two years ago I was asked to consider serving and appointed to the Epsom Board of Selectmen to fill the remaining term of Bob Blodgett. As a relative newcomer in Epsom I was very honored to be selected and then voted in to fulfill the last year of the term.

 

Through this experience I have come to understand more about the important issues facing the town as well as the routine items that help the town run smoothly. In my service I have enjoyed to opportunity to get to know many more residents and to have an appreciation for the impact the decisions by the Board of Selectmen will have on them.

 

Now I have put my name on the ballot for a full three year term for the Board of Selectmen. I look forward to the opportunity to continue to serve and apply my best judgment to the issues facing the town.

 

I hope we can see the new town office facility be constructed and then move on to breathe new life into the Meeting House by finding alternate constructive and creative uses that will benefit both old and young. I too look forward to establishing an email newsletter that will provide updates from municipal department heads and the Boards and Committees. My hope is that all citizens will have a better idea of what is going on in town and may be able to see where their particular talents will help fill a community need.

 

In closing, I want I would be remiss if I did not thank my colleagues, Betsy Bosiak, Chris Bowes and Don Harty who have taught me so much in the past two years.

 

Hugh Curley

Selectman, Town of Epsom

 


 

Letter To The Editor

 

Re Epsom Warrant #1: While there are good points regarding the new Town Office proposal, there are several problems:

 

1. Building is not finished for all capabilities needed.

 

2. This year’s tax increase is .02 per thousand but next year’s increase will be 20 cents; offset current rent payment, there will be net 9 1/2 cent increase.

 

3. Files will be stored basement level; there is no handicapped access to lower level.

 

4. Nearly $400,000.00 is being taken from emergency fund.

 

5. Not a doubt in my mind BOS will be back for more funds for this building while we are not maintaining current buildings.
