Our View: Let's not get fooled again

You have to hand it to Havre Public Schools Trustee Curtis Smeby. Smeby summed up the feelings of most Havre taxpayers about the roof controversy at Havre High School.

Smeby went through the roof, so to speak, at the Sept. 13 school board meeting when an engineer told the board that the cost of roof repairs at the school would be more than $130,000 higher than expected.

It seems that the columns that support the gymnasium portion of the roof were not built to specifications, and to ensure safety, they will have to be repaired now.

That's $130,000 on top of the extra money that will be spent...
