CAROLINA BEACH, N.C. (WECT) - The actions of New Hanover County Board of Commissioners Chair Julia Olson-Boseman are being questioned by the Town of Carolina Beach after she allegedly directed the county manager to instruct county staff to conduct an investigation into the recent condominium fire in Carolina Beach.
But Carolina Beach officials say county staff were acting outside of their jurisdiction to do so, however, the county disagrees.
There are also ethical questions regarding the actions since, according to the emails, Olson-Boseman, who is an attorney, said she was legally representing some of the fire victims.
