If you are keeping count you know this is the fifth in the series of posts outlining the problems which continue in Belknap county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The county administration for 2018 has taken a more low profile strategy in their attempts to take control of appropriating authority. On July 17, 2018 at the Executive Committee review of the budget a little problem popped up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Separate fund? As in outside the budget? Here we go again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little bit a research showed that a scheme was created to allow the sheriff to move outside detail<\/em> out of the budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Note that this dates back to April 3, 2018 shortly after the budget was made final. Also, there is no law that allows for this revolving fund<\/em>. My criminal complaint<\/a> was sent to the county attorney and the Attorney General. If you have been following along, you know there would be no criminal investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, on October 18, 2018 the commissioners reverse their action. No harm? No foul?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to today’s title, the case for misfeasance seems rather solid. A case for malfeasance is strongly supported. On Tuesday August 10, 2021 the county Convention will look at more recent actions of the commissioners. As chairman of the Convention, I can say that nonfeasance is not an option for the Convention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
