<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Dear Tim,<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Humbug = "someone or something that is not honest or true"</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/humbug" target="_blank">http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/humbug</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>So you're calling _someone_ a liar here. Along with being self-important. But</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>like Mr./Ms. SM has said before, you need to support your contention. About</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>exactly _who_ is being the 'self-important humbug'.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>As far as I know, I'm the first person to discover MCPB's policy of hiding Form</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>990s. Printed right on the Form 990s themselves. "No review was or will be</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>conducted." For five years running. 2010 - 2014. You can see that here:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://nccsweb.urban.org/communityplatform/nccs/organization/profile/id/680050440/popup/1" target="_blank">http://nccsweb.urban.org/communityplatform/nccs/organization/profile/id/680050440/popup/1</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>You can also see that no audited financial statements were prepared for any</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>of those years. Right on the Form 990s themselves. Sworn under penalty of</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>perjury. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Which contradicts records that _appear_ to be audited </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">financial </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">statements on the KZYX website here:</span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/about-us/station-business/mcpb-bylaws-and-financial-statements" target="_blank">http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/about-us/station-business/mcpb-bylaws-and-financial-statements</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>That contention is also supported by annual filings with the State. They're</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>called Registration Renewal Fee forms. You can find them here:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://rct.doj.ca.gov" target="_blank">http://rct.doj.ca.gov</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Going back to 2008, you'll see MCPB swear -- under penalty of perjury -- </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>that no audited financial statements had been prepared. Feel free to look</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>at the meeting minutes here:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/about-us/station-business/meeting-minutes" target="_blank">http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/about-us/station-business/meeting-minutes</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>and the General Manager Reports here:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/about-us/station-business/general-managers-reports" target="_blank">http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/about-us/station-business/general-managers-reports</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The go back all the way to 2008. And there's no mention of audited financial </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>statements anywhere. Or Form 990s. Which tends to support my contention. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>By my count, <span style="font-size: 12pt;">MCPB took over a million dollars in grant money from the CPB </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">with things </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">that _appeared_ to be audited financial statements.
