AUBURN — Calling the problems "self-inflicted," the chairwoman of the Androscoggin County Commission scolded Budget Committee members for not attending the five meetings when commissioners compiled the 2016 preliminary county budget.

She said commissioners are too busy to attend Budget Committee meetings.
"Had at least a majority of Budget Committee members bothered to attend the meetings at which the preliminary budget was formulated, the Budget Committee would know everything that the Board of Commissioners knows and the Budget Committee consideration of the preliminary budget could have been greatly enhanced and expedited," Beth Bell wrote in a letter to Budget Committee Chairwoman Emily Darby.
