[Kzyxtalk] Amount and timing of debt

[nsi at mcn.org]

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

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), 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.

 The facts are bad enough - why exaggerate?  Especially when the
facts are so easily researched.
