[Kzyxtalk] Questions for candidates for MCPB (KZYX) board. And for the members of the board.

[Marco McClean]

Marco here.

Candidates and board members:

1. Given that whether I like you or agree with you or not I'm willing to 
do everything I can to put you personally on the air at KNYO, on your 
own show, on your terms and without managerial interference, will you do 
all /you/ can to put my show, Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio, on 
KZYX, on similar terms?

2. Given that the managers at KZYX are paid the equivalent of 3,600 
yearly $50 memberships, and that KZYX has only about 2,000 members, and 
given that without the annual six-figure government bailout MCPB would 
have failed utterly and gone into receivership every single year of its 
25-plus-year existence, tell me what /you/ think is wrong in the brains 
of anyone who declares the managers are doing a heckuva job and don't 
need to be replaced entirely or at least have their salaries yanked in 
favor of being paid by the hour for hours actually worked, at the same 
rate as the local people are paid who are really doing the work of 
radio, preparing all week and then doing their shows on KZYX?

3. Offer, just off the top of your head, at least three historical words 
for a system where a handful of owners and/or managers are paid to have 
a nice life and even save for retirement and everyone actually doing all 
the work the system is there to do is "volunteering" and so paid nothing.

And 4. Are you familiar with the machinery and particulars of the 
election, and are you entirely confident that the election will be 100 
percent fair and will be carried out in an unimpeachable manner.

p.s. I haven't got my ballot yet. Others have told me they have theirs. 
I'm out of town every other week; I need a ballot sooner than the last 
minute, and I don't know when the last minute is because it doesn't say 
anywhere on the KZYX web page when the election will be called. Thank 
you. My address: Marco McClean, p.o. box 1497, Mendocino, CA 95460
