Dismayed that school board won’t talk about Mahon

I am dismayed that our elected school board has the audacity to refuse to answer why Mr. Mahon is being paid salary for the balance of 2010 plus almost an extra year's salary when he quit! Where does it say that if you quit a job you still get paid for a year or two? No wonder taxes are high. Of course, it is easy to spend someone else's money. We need to insist the school board elections are the same day as the general election — then all the taxpayers would go out to vote plus cut expenses. We have to thank the Havre Daily News for bringing this issue to the people's attention. The school board should remember they are elected to serve all the people, not just one or two and the union. I voted for Shad Huston hoping a new person would think the way most people think — that is, run the school as efficiently as possible. T.S. Patterson Havre
