Wharton Sinkler : County Dark On Solar

I recently accused the Carroll County Commissioners of “dereliction of duty” at a presentation for voters at the Gibson Center in Conway for failing to make a clear recommendation regarding installing a small solar array at the County Complex in Ossipee. That is a strong accusation and I’d like to defend it.

The solar array proposal was put together by me along with a team of four other volunteers as a service to Carroll County. It would have been a financial win for the county. Financially, the team’s proposal entailed two brief periods, in the first 12 years following installation of the array, when the county would have been “in the red.”
