OSSIPEE — Longtime Carroll County Sheriff Domenic Richardi wasn’t going to run for re-election, prompting his second in command, Rich Young, to declare for the seat. But after the legislative delegation’s leadership granted a big pay raise to the election winner, Richardi is back in the hunt and Young has dropped out.

The executive committee of the Carroll County delegation of legislators met recently granted large raises to whomever wins the races in November for sheriff, county attorney and register of deeds.
