<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello David,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your response.<br>
I agree that your income is none of my business but the
performance of MY Community supported radio employees is.<br>
I also appreciate your assessment of your value; however, it would
be nice to have an unbiased opinion of your performance.<br>
Underwriting (or advertising) is one area where performance is
easily quantified.<br>
What is the cost per dollar raised?<br>
Can we see your performance compared to past performers?<br>
If there are other areas where you contribute to the station, then
that would be great to know also, please be specific.<br>
I do not mean to single you out from the other paid staff, I
believe that <u>all </u><u>paid</u> staff should be held
accountable for their performance.<br>
That is the responsibility of the board and the membership.<br>
With all that I have read on this list alone, telling me that you
are doing a good job at this point is not enough, I want to see
some proof.<br>
This is not a privacy issue this is about trust, transparency and
keeping a great station great!<br>
<br>
Respectfully,<br>
Kelly Grimes<br>

Please correct the information if it is incorrect.<br>
The logic seems good to me.<br>
If the current underwriting is 40k that would probably
equal your salary and

I have been looking at the GM reports going back to 2008
in order to discern
the evolution of the financial crisis. Near as I can
tell, most of
the 95k in debt was accrued in the fourth quarter of
that year. 2009
was a terrible year, resulting in the 175k of debt we
have become accustomed to
hearing about. <u5:p></u5:p><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
