On the front page story in the Oct. 9 edition of the MVNO regarding interim town manager Christina Therrien’s salary, it was correctly reported that her hourly rate was set at $43.41 an hour for work to be performed on behalf of the town of Machias. However, because of an error in calculating her pay on an annual basis, it was incorrectly reported she would earn $96,532.80 if she worked 40 hours per week for 52 weeks. The correct amount should have read $90,292.80. The amount Therrien would receive is $224.80 more that what late town manager Kitchen would have earned had he not passed away, and not the $6,672 that was reported in the story. The Machias Valley News Observer apologizes to Therrien and the Machias selectboard for the error in our calculation and our reporting of Ms. Therrien’s salary agreement.
