If you are keeping count, this is the third in the series of posts outlining the problems which continue in Belknap county.
The county administration for 2018 has taken a more low-profile strategy in their attempts to take control of appropriating authority. On July 17, 2018, at the Executive Committee review of the budget, a little problem popped up.
Separate fund? As in outside the budget? Here we go again.
A little bit of research showed that a scheme was created to allow the sheriff to move outside detail out of the budget.
We want to thank NH State Rep Mike Sylvia for this Op-Ed. If you have an Op-Ed or LTE
you would like us to consider, please submit it to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.
Note that this dates back to April 3, 2018, shortly after the budget was made final. Also, there is no law that allows for this revolving fund. My criminal complaint was sent to the county attorney and the Attorney General. If you have been following along, you know there would be no criminal investigation.
Once again, on October 18, 2018, the commissioners reverse their action. No harm? No foul?
Back to today’s title, the case for misfeasance seems rather solid. A case for malfeasance is strongly supported. On Tuesday, August 10, 2021, the County Convention will look at the more recent actions of the commissioners.
As chairman of the Convention, I can say that nonfeasance is not an option for the Convention.
