However, Mr. Mabie resigned as Mayor of Pine Beach last week because he wanted to keep his seat on the county's Board of Elections. His dual officeholding had finally run afoul of a state law that prevents one from holding both elective and appointive offices. Mr. Mabie said the fact that the Election Board job paid $6,000 annually and the Mayor's post (which he turned back to the borough) only $500 helped him decide which job to keep."
