LACONIA — Belknap County Commissioners took it on the chin last night as the Executive Committee of the County Convention rejected two of the three requests for fund transfers the commissioners had sought, and a member of the public accused commissioners of neglecting the maintenance at the Belknap County House of Correction in order to force the county to build a new jail. ‘’They’re leaving it a mess to force a new jail on us,’’ charged David DeVoy of Sanbornton, who was joined in his criticism of the three-member commission by other

members of the public, as well as members of the County Convention, for their handling of the jail situation. One member of the audience asked why the County Commissioners weren’t at the County Convention meeting, which followed on the heels of the Executive Committee meeting, which was attended by one member of the commission, Chairman John Thomas of Belmont. County Administrator Debra Shackett of Belmont said that members of the commission weren’t aware until Monday morning that the agenda for the County Convention meeting had been changed from the one the county website which said that the meeting

was called to hear a request from the Gunstock Mountain Resort for a revue anticipation note to include new items, including a discussion of the ongoing battle over control of line items in the county budget and a discussion of the jail situation. ‘’They had no knowledge that the convention was going beyond the Gunstock request. We didn’t find out until eight o’clock Monday morning what items had been added to the agenda,’’ said Shackett, who pointed out that the commissioners didn’t have sufficient time in which to post a public notice that they would be meeting as a public body Monday night. see JAIL page 8
