<html><body>You're right, Tim. I have no idea how much money Belinda Rawlins ditzed away. Or from whom I was repeating the number. I suspect some of the draw was paid back, thus the discrepancy. But no matter how much debt the station was left with when Belinda just up and departed, returning Jane to the Board fora re-run is not a good choice. Dan Roberts would have made a much finer general manager, and probably led us out of a bad paradigm. --beth<br /><blockquote>----- Original Message -----<br /><div style="width:500px;background:rgb(228,228,228);"><div style="font-weight:bold;">From:</div> "Tim Bray" <tbray@wildblue.net></div>, <br /><div style="font-weight:bold;">To:</div><kzyxtalk@lists.mcn.org><br /><div style="font-weight:bold;">Cc:</div><br /><div style="font-weight:bold;">Sent:</div>Wed, 26 Feb 2014 17:39:42 -0800<br /><div style="font-weight:bold;">Subject:</div>[Kzyxtalk] Amount and timing of debt<br /><br /><br /><font face="Arial">I keep seeing a figure of $200K thrown around,
and Beth Bosk's recent missive alleges that Belinda Rawlins ran up
a bank draw in that amount. In the General Manager's reports
(available on the KZYX Website)</font>, the bank debt is reported
as $55K in October 2008, shortly after John Coate became GM. In the
December report, he lists bank debt of $52K and NPR debt of $45K.
I haven't gone through every report, but from memory, the total debt
went over $100K for a while, but never reached the $200K level I've
seen in several messages here.<br /><br />
The facts are bad enough - why exaggerate? Especially when the
facts are so easily researched.<br /><br />
