LEWISTON — Councilors could come out against changes in the Androscoggin County charter that City Administrator Ed Barrett said misses the point.

"There have been issues regarding the county charter and the budget process," Barrett told councilors during a workshop meeting Tuesday night. "One has been the section of the county charter that requires the county Budget Committee must approve salaries and benefits for commissioners and other elected officials. But a second issue has been the county Budget Committee and its ability to require changes in the county budget."
