MR. DOUG  HUNTLEY …...

"You are paying for the best there is, right?"

     When a person applies for a governmental employment position that deals with children, and working for the community,  the first thought that enters the average person's mind is that the person applying for the job has a desire to help the children and the community .  So why is it that as soon as that our current Superintendent Mr. Doug Huntley of the MCS got into his    office of employment, thereafter it becomes a priority to encourage the School Board to help vote himself to  as much of the tax payers money as possible!  It's called FREE money, as long as Mr. Huntley's "Good-Old Boy... Buddy-Buddy system" is in place,  for over the past 15 year, Mr. Doug Huntley has been able to influence these School Board Members in a manner that has placed Mr. Doug Huntley as into the bracket as the highest paid School Superintendent in the State of New York!  Praying on tax payers, who are mostly naive and trusting to the well dress spick & span well dressed Mr. Doug Huntley! With deception to the general public, Mr. Huntley  advance his income at the tax payers expense! Our undercover reporting team has now acquired the salaries of Mr. Doug Huntley, and the filed pay raises that are in place using your tax dollars!  Voting Huntley's RAISES to the tune of $257,350.00 by year  2010 !!!

At a recent School Board meeting, when Board decisions were being challenged by community members, President John Lambert asked "What did you elect us for?" Mr. Lambert was being asked about now many of us are asking the same questions, but in light of the multiply "MCS failures & Asbestos cover-ups" by the present administration, there is no doubt you were not elected to super  pay  Mr. D. Huntley $257,350.00, outrageously high taxing the local poor community with an annual average income of only $31,391!!!
