Scott, 

The CPB needs to be informed of what you have discovered.

Dear Tim, 


Humbug = "someone or something that is not honest or true" 


http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/humbug 


So you're calling _someone_ a liar here. Along with being self-important. But 


like Mr./Ms. SM has said before, you need to support your contention. About 


exactly _who_ is being the 'self-important humbug'. 


As far as I know, I'm the first person to discover MCPB's policy of hiding Form 


990s. Printed right on the Form 990s themselves. "No review was or will be 


conducted." For five years running. 2010 - 2014. You can see that here: 


http://nccsweb.urban.org/communityplatform/nccs/organization/profile/id/680050440/popup/1 


You can also see that no audited financial statements were prepared for any 


of those years. Right on the Form 990s themselves. Sworn under penalty of 


perjury. Which contradicts records that _appear_ to be audited financial 


statements on the KZYX website here: 


http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/about-us/station-business/mcpb-bylaws-and-financial-statements 


That contention is also supported by annual filings with the State. They're 


called Registration Renewal Fee forms. You can find them here: 


http://rct.doj.ca.gov 


Going back to 2008, you'll see MCPB swear -- under penalty of perjury -- 


that no audited financial statements had been prepared. Feel free to look 


at the meeting minutes here: 


http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/about-us/station-business/meeting-minutes 


and the General Manager Reports here: 


http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/about-us/station-business/general-managers-reports 


The go back all the way to 2008. And there's no mention of audited financial 


statements anywhere. Or Form 990s. Which tends to support my contention. 


By my count, MCPB took over a million dollars in grant money from the CPB 


with things that _appeared_ to be audited financial statements. But weren't. 


If you want to argue against merits here, that's fine. But name-calling isn't 


going to accomplish anything. 


Sincerely, 


Scott M. Peterson 


Mendocino
