[Kzyxtalk] Salary of KZYX General Manager

[sako4 at comcast.net]

David, 


KZYX only reports consolidated salaries as a single budget line item. The individual salaries are not broken down. Station GM, John Coate, has long maintained that individual salaries are a "privacy issue". 


That's a bunch of bull, of course. 


The County of Mendocino tried pulling that same stunt a few years ago. They tried not disclosing the salaries of department heads. When the Ukiah Daily Journal filed a freedom of information request and threatened to sue, the County relented and disclosed the salaries. 


As a point of information, KMUD discloses the salaries of all staff.

Is this true, what Sack says: " I know what Coate gets paid, but the KZYX Board's secrecy rules prohibit me from disclosing it." 


Is Coate's salary a secret? Or is Sack O'Whiz just blowing more smoke? 


If true, why would anyone want to contribute to a community station that would not reveal what employees are being paid?
