By ROGER AMSDEN, LACONIA DAILY SUNLACONIA — Former Sanbornton selectman and Yale Law School graduate Andrew Livernois was chosen as the new Belknap County Attorney by the Belknap County Delegation Tuesday night. Livernois said he has extensive experience which may prove useful to the county in representing municipalities in civil law cases and will make himself available to county officials for legal advice. He is a graduate of Winnisquam Regional High School and said that his family has lived in Belknap County for decades. Livernois was elected over two other candidates who were interviewed, with a clear majority on the first ballot, receiving eight votes to five for Roni Karnis, who is currently a Department of Safety prosecutor and former assistant county attorney for Belknap County who lives in New Hampton. R.J. Meurin, who is currently an assistant Belknap County attorney, did not file an application before the June 22 deadline because he was under the impression that the candidate had to live in Belknap County as was advertised, received one vote.
