OSSIPEE — Carroll County Commissioner David Babson last week accused fellow board members Amanda Bevard and Terry McCarthy of holding secret meetings about county business. Bevard, however, quashed such rumors, saying she and McCarthy actually discuss farming issues and the like.
Babson (R-Ossipee) made his accusations at the commissioners’ Jan. 27 meeting during the “commissioner’s comments and reports” portion.
