County treasurer responds to criticism
ELLSWORTH
Hancock County Treasurer Michael Boucher issued a statement last week in response to the county’s search for a finance director since Boucher does not have the experience needed for the position, according to officials.
The Hancock County Commissioners, at their April 7 meeting, reached a consensus that County Administrator Scott Adkins can’t effectively manage the county and work on projects when he’s spending half his time doing the finance work.
Boucher, when he was elected two years ago without any professional finance or bookkeeping experience, agreed to be trained on the job, but the county says that arrangement fell through.
