Carroll County, N.H., is considering filing for bankruptcy to close a budget shortfall of about $2 million, the Associated Press reported yesterday. The county may freeze payments, raise taxes and cut funding to outside agencies. All of the county attorney’s assistant prosecutors have quit in the last two months after the budget passed in March. Newly appointed County Administrator Ken Robichaud said that many of the financial problems are the result of not auditing the county in three years. A meeting to address the budget concerns will be held Aug. 17.
