So, calling the Sheriff when it was known that people would be "storming" the building to view private membership records is NOT out of the ordinary.
A useless and wasteful endeavor anyways...
Did anyone ACTUALLY get anything out of "inspecting" our personal membership records?
NO.
Although cake and coffee are always nice - glad to see our membership dues going to something like that - forget keeping the station open during "regular business hours" ...
Just keep playing the music ...

Post-regime change, Ms. Dechter, the new station manager, met the same critics with cake, coffee and unimpeded access to the information they sought. A major change for the better has happened here.?
The asshole who called the cops was Stuart Campbell, who was the interim GM at that time at KZYX. He wasted scarce law enforcement resources. Three patrol cars from the MCSO showed up at the Philo studio for the non-event. I complained to Sheriff Tom Allman. In truth, Campbell filed a false police report.
Stuart Campbell is the same asshole who tried beating Lorraine Dechter out of the GM job.
How?
By first emphatically saying he had no interest in applying for the GM job ? remember, Campbell was the interim GM at that time ? then picking the chair of the search committee, then stacking the search committee with with his buddies and requiring the search committee to copy him on all confidential correspondence. Stuart Campbell finally applied for the GM job only one day before the closing deadline for applications.
It was the most blatant conflict of interest and abuse of power that I have ever seen at a 501-c-3.
And to think that Campbell calls himself a ?professor of ethics?. What bullshit.
Stuart Campbell is now running for a Board seat?the programming representative.
Lorraine Dechter, watch your back! </pre>
