[Kzyxtalk] Meg Courtney - KZYX's Do-Nothing President

[Scott Peterson]

Dear Ms. Courtney,

In a recent editorial, you said that John Sakowicz made 'numerous unfounded

allegations of financial impropriety' on the part of MCPB. I've never seen that.

But I'm coming to your rescue anyway.

I don't think that you -- or any of your fellow board members -- have done any

such thing. Quite the opposite. I don't believe you've done anything at all.

Let me demonstrate. You're the president of MCPB's Board of Directors. You're

supposed to conduct board meetings. Recorded with meeting minutes. I know

of at least three board meetings that have taken place since you've presided. 

And none of those meeting minutes have been posted at their usual place. The

KZYX website. I'm not saying you did that on purpose. What I'm saying is this:

You didn't do anything.

Here's another demonstration. You've got things that appear to be audited 

financial statements. On the KZYX website. Those are supposed to be done

through an audit committee. And then presented by the auditor. But it didn't

happen. You didn't do anything wrong, Ms. Courtney. You didn't do anything.

And a third demonstration. The CPA who prepared your last Form 990 is Frank

X. Gloeggler. His latest Form 990 is on the KZYX website here:

http://kzyx.org/Board/audits/MCPB%202013%20Tax%20Return.pdf

Can you count, Ms. Courtney? Okay. It's twenty-five pages long. Now look at the

same tax return here:

http://990s.foundationcenter.org/990_pdf_archive/680/680050440/680050440_201406_990.pdf

Now count the pages there. If you can. It's twenty-two pages long. How are you

at arithmetic? All right. Twenty-two from twenty-five is three. Isn't it? So the

Form 990 that got filed is missing three pages. Right? Did you know about that?

No. Because you never counted them. You didn't do that on purpose. You didn't

do anything.

Can you tell time, Ms. Courtney? Look at the date on the letter from Mr. 

Gloeggler. It's March 2, 2015. Right on page one. Do you see that? Okay. Now

follow this link: http://rct.doj.ca.gov/   It'll take you to the Registry of Charitable

Trusts. Where you can look MCPB up. Along with every Form 990 that's been 

filed. And a time stamp. Showing when it was received. If you did that, you'd find 

the date that Form 990 was received. It's February 9, 2015. Which comes first, 

Ms. Courtney? Is it February? Or March? Right. February comes first. So this Form 

990 was filed a month before Mr. Gloeggler sent it to you. With his name on it. 

Did you notice that? Of course not. You didn't notice anything. Because you didn't 

do anything.

Can you read, Ms. Courtney? Good. At the same place you can pull up the

Registration Renewal Fee report for that year. It's the second from the bottom.

It's only a page. What date do you see on the bottom? Right. It's January 28,

2015. Which comes first? January? Or March? Uh-huh. This was filed two 

months before Mr. Gloeggler's letter. Now go back to that letter for just a

minute:

http://kzyx.org/Board/audits/MCPB%202013%20Tax%20Return.pdf

Now turn to page forty-three. Can you count that high? Sure you can. If you

actually did, you'd find the same form. Sent to MCPB for filing two months

after it'd already been filed. Wow. Not look at the item number nine on that 

filing. Where it asks if MCPB had prepared an audited financial statement for 

that year. Do you see the answer? There's an 'X' in the box marked 'No.' Do you 

see that? Did you see that before? No. You didn't see anything. Because you 

didn't look.

Now go to the KZYX website again. Where it says there are audited financial

statements. For the same exact year:

http://kzyx.org/Board/audits/MCPB%20FY%202014%20Audit.pdf

Now go to page three. How's your memory, Ms. Courtney? Do you recognize

the auditor? It's Frank X. Gloeggler. The same gentleman who said that MCPB 

hadn't prepared audited financial statements. Now look at the date. It's 

September 30, 2014. Six months before his letter to MCPB. Reporting no audit.

You didn't know that, did you? Because you didn't look. You didn't do anything.

How are your detective skills, Ms. Courtney? Can you find the three missing 

pages? Sure you can. It's something called a 'Schedule B'. It lists all of MCPB's

contributors. Including the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. For $187,022.

In fact, that's MCPB's only contributor. Did you know that, Ms. Courtney?

Of course not. You don't know anything. Because you don't do anything.

I can prove it. Look at that Form 990 again. On page seven. Where it reports

the average number of hours you spend every week on MCPB business. How's

your vision, Ms. Courtney? Can you see what that number is? That's right, Ms.

Courtney. It's a zero.

One last thing. On how MCPB actually got that contribution. It's called an Annual

Financial Report. Or AFR. You can find a whole stack of them here:

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

Go to page ten on any one of them. And look at item number eight. You can't 

miss it. Because it's in bold: "Total Expenses (sum of lines 1 to 7) must agree with

audited financial statements." Do you see that? They all do. Going all the way

to 2008. Now go back to the State website. And look at the Registration Renewal

Fee forms for the same time period. At item number nine. Where it swears that

no audited financial statements had been prepared. Signed under penalty of 

perjury. Each one of them. By John Coate.

I know you must be a very busy person, Ms. Courtney. But it might be worth

your while to run a total. Of all contributions that MCPB has taken from CPB

under the assurance that it had audited financial statements. According to my

arithmetic, it's over a million dollars now.

I got all this information from the KZYX website. And the Registry of Charitable

Trusts. Who got it from John Coate. Under penalty of perjury.

How's your insurance coverage, Ms. Courtney?

Sincerely,

Scott M. Peterson

Mendocino

> Scott,According to our ex- GM John Coate, there IS NO policy.  Where did you get this information? John did not know what I was talking about when I inquired. Please let us know why you think this is the case?
