BARTLETT — Selectmen last week said the firm hired to do the 2019 audit will resume that work next month and that the supervisors of the checklist have appointed a town auditor to serve until March’s elections.
Last month, resident Peter Gagne told the Sun he was concerned about a lack of transparency at town hall over issues like the lack of audits. The state Department of Revenue confirmed to the Sun that the town did not do audits from 2015-19.
