Talk with the Editor, September 12

To the Point
I am the founder of a 501(c)(3) group home for individuals with autism, founded for my grandson who is autistic, and others like him.  I decided to step down as executive director.  I never paid myself more than $2,000/mo.  I wanted to stay on salary as PR & advocate.  The board says I cannot because of the new employment law.  I'm Founder, was executive director & my grandson lives there.  Is this correct?  They now will not let me see financials, minutes or anything even though it is public information. I live on my Social Security & my husband's retirement & don't have enough money to live on.
