The city of Barre is trying to unravel a year’s worth problems with its books. A city accountant resigned abruptly this summer, and an outside accounting firm has found that there were so many errors in the books that entries in them needed to be reposted for the whole year.
The city manager says there’s no evidence any money was misappropriated. He also says preliminary indications are that Barre will be able to close out the fiscal year with a surplus.
