[Doug McKenty]

David,

What do you think would have
happened if Shelia had placed her 
complaint with the State Attorney 
General instead of the FCC?

There is a standing board committee, the Personnel Committee, that is supposed to hear such complaints: "The Personnel Committee will hear and recommend action on personnel grievances that are not resolved at staff level."  The refusal to implement the committees is a failure of the current board and general manager, as it is their joint responsibility.”

Everything below is from the current "MCPB Policies and Procedures" that the board of directors has adopted since 1989, as authorized by state law as a nonprofit corporation.  They are as binding on management and staff as any regulation.  Same for the Program Advisory Committee.  If anyone thinks any policies are inconsistent with FCC regulations, they should alert the board.
