Pacifica’s conflict
over who is Executive Director - continues with it's non-wisdom with contenders vying for power and position. Here are excerpts of some updated info and
names the PNB members who voted 12- to - 10 to 'fire' the one most recently
hired.
Some of these KPFK LSB members
who only very recently were elevated to PNB are included in the ousting, outing
of Summer Reese. 3 of our 4 voted by
phone to expel her. We need to hold all our LSB and PNB [acting as non-]
representatives accountable for their actions, and not for their own personal opinions - - unless
those interfere and overtake their responsibility to all us KPFK subscribers/
sponsors/ payers/ members.
“for those in LA who do not search
and waste counted hours trying to decipher the chaos that has endangered our
local Pacifica station: KPFK 90.7
FM as a strong component of the current conflicts, here is more to be shared
and exposed anywhere everywhere since not everyone comes to this solo site.
[ Did you know IMC has a radio program
on KPFK too, and does this mean there are alliances or deferences due to
keeping that program on air too ? dunno
Do the programmers read what is on their site here in LA and discuss or
provide info from on-air to the website ? Or is that a 'separate affair' ? ]
These are excerpts reposted from where more updated infomation appears:

" …the board majority, from the Pacifica Directors for Good
Governance lawsuit and any other upcoming legal activity. … When Reese left the
national headquarters on April 3rd to assist with the legal initiative, some
board and staff members attempted to obstruct national office operations, but
22 community members responded to a call for assistance.
"Reese
re-entered her workplace at 3:30 in the afternoon without incident.
"Berkeley
songwriter Vic Sadot penned a tune for the occasion, sung to the melody of
"We Shall Overcome". A video
of the impromptu sidewalk serenade is in production. http://2014.supportkpfa.org/?p=449…..
"A copy of a complaint filed with the CA Attorney General by 8
former members of the national board can be found here http://www.mediafire.com/download/dph6u4ov1woed9x/

“….a
119 page complaint filed by Pacifica Directors for Good Governance asking for
injunctive relief from the chaos sweeping the organization after the
illegitimate firing of the executive director, the reinstatement of a CFO let
go after his probationary period, and the inability to sustain an
organizational audit…."The case number is HG14720131...”
Looking at the document as can be seen as an online image, these were the ones named in a filed civil lawsuit=
The legal summons was written to these : Rodrigo Argueta, Lydia Brazon, Lawrence Reyes [of KPFK LSB fame before recently rising to PNB status] + Tim Brown, Benito Diaz, Adriana Casenave, Brian Edwards-Tiekert, Jose Luis Fuentes, Tony Norman, Cerene Roberts, Hank Lamb, and Margy Wilkinson [the person who claims the top position for herself now] = 12 of 22 PNB members. Who are the 10 others now called “Pacifica Directors for Good Governance” grouped separately by name now ? “
