Sheridan Malone was there and a couple others. We talked at length about KZYX and the coming election. KC is certainly sympathetic to the reform candidates. I told her that O'Brien was running and that he was really up on nonprofit law and had won a couple of cases in that area. <div><br></div><div>Her view is that KZYX will eventually fail financially if it does not move to Ukiah. She noted that the salaried foksfolks in Philo, esp. Mary Aigner, want the Mother Ship, to stay in Philo no matter what. </div><div><br></div><div>--king<br><div><div><br></div><div>P.S. I was exactly 10 years ago that I released "The Secret Life Of KZYX." So i told KC that I would put out a second undated version of the Secret Life. In some ways, we both noted, nothing has changed in the demeanor and the thinking of management and the majority party (the Centrists). But there are a few updates and some changes in the direction of my own thinking about how change is coming to local media. --kc</div><div><br></div><div>* * * * </div><div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Jan 28, 2015, at 2:23 PM, Dennis OBrien wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1422479629618_8074" dir="ltr">We have just received word that the current board members who favor the status quo are having just as hard a time finding a candidate for the 2nd District seat as are those of us who are proposing change.
