OSSIPEE — County officials at a Thursday meeting appeared to lose their cool over masks and the apparent inability by county staff to get county audits done on time.
The county legislative delegation, made up of 15 local state representatives, held their quarterly meeting Thursday. Also attending were the county commissioners who manage the budget overseen by the delegation: Amanda Bevard (R-Wolfeboro), David Babson (R-Ossipee) and Terry McCarthy (R-North Conway).
