OSSIPEE â Carroll County s chief financial officer, who came aboard in September, is no longer working for the county, county commissioners announced in a bombshell that appeared to stun members of the legislative delegation Monday.Â
Fergus Cullen of Dover started work Sept. 21. He came to Carroll County after having served as chief financial officer of St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Dover for four years. He also served as a Dover City Councilor since October and was the New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman from 2007-09.
The delegation met Monday to work on the 2021 county budget, which totals about $35 million. The delegation, consisting of 15 state representatives, approves budgets that the commissioners manage with help from department heads. The county government includes a prosecutorâs office, a jail, a nursing home and the registry of deeds.
