<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Dear Ms. Courtney,<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Have you visited the KMUD website lately? Check out their schedule:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.kmud.org/programs-mainmenu-11/program-schedule.html" target="_blank">http://www.kmud.org/programs-mainmenu-11/program-schedule.html</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Do you see any NPR? Or syndicated shows besides 'Democracy Now'?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I don't. Now look at the KZYX schedule:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/kzyx-weekly-schedule" target="_blank">http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/kzyx-weekly-schedule</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Lots of NPR and syndicated shows.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Then look at KMUD's board meeting minutes:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://kmud.org/about/board-of-directors-mainmenu-3/board-meeting-minutes-mainmenu-6.html" target="_blank">http://kmud.org/about/board-of-directors-mainmenu-3/board-meeting-minutes-mainmenu-6.html</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Four board meetings from 2016 are documented there. Now look at the</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>latest one:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://kmud.org/about/board-of-directors-mainmenu-3/item/3190.html" target="_blank">http://kmud.org/about/board-of-directors-mainmenu-3/item/3190.html</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>At the bottom there's a schedule of committee meetings. A whole bunch</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>of them. Including one for policy. And one for mediation. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Just for grins, </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">look at the list of meeting minutes for KZYX:</span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/about-us/station-business/meeting-minutes" target="_blank">http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/about-us/station-business/meeting-minutes</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>See any for 2016? I don't. Okay. Let's look at the last ones. From November</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>of 2015:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.kzyx.org/Board/11_2_15%20MINUTES%20OF%20KZYX%20BOARD%20OF%20DIRECTORS.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.kzyx.org/Board/11_2_15%20MINUTES%20OF%20KZYX%20BOARD%20OF%20DIRECTORS.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I don't see any committee meetings scheduled there. Do you? I don't see</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>a schedule for committee meetings anywhere. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Now go back to the KMUD </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">website. At the financial information:</span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.kmud.org/about/about-kmud/financial-information-mainmenu-170.html" target="_blank">http://www.kmud.org/about/about-kmud/financial-information-mainmenu-170.html</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Open up the latest Form 990. See who files it? The president does.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>There's even a signature on it. KMUD has a Form 990 review policy.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>They make governing documents available on request. And they've </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>actually got audited financial statements. With over half a million in</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>net assets.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Now look at the latest Form 990 for KZYX:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://kzyx.org/Board/audits/MCPB%202013%20Tax%20Return.pdf" target="_blank">http://kzyx.org/Board/audits/MCPB%202013%20Tax%20Return.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>It's filed by a paid employee. With no signature. No Form 990 review</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>policy. No governing documents available. And no audited financial </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>financial statements. With $160,000 in net assets. Three years ago.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>What's that number today? It's about $10,000. Max.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Before you go. Take another look at KMUD's Form 990. At page 7.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>You'll see a list of directors. And the time they spend on KMUD every</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>week. Can you add, Ms. Courtney? They spend 24 hours a week on</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>KMUD. How much time do KZYX directors spend on KZYX? Look at </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>your Form 990. The answer is zero. KZYX directors spend no time on</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>KZYX. That's according to a paid employee. Hired to do everything.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>And stating so under penalty of perjury.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I'd like you to look at one last thing. It's a KZYX budget for 2014:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://kzyx.org/Board/MCPB%20FY2015%20Budget%20As%20Passed%207-7-14.pdf" target="_blank">http://kzyx.org/Board/MCPB%20FY2015%20Budget%20As%20Passed%207-7-14.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Check out the third item on page two. $11,945 in legal expenses.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>For 'problem people'. Estimated. Then look at the final figure for that</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>category on your 2014 Form 990:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://990s.foundationcenter.org/990_pdf_archive/680/680050440/680050440_201406_990.pdf" target="_blank">http://990s.foundationcenter.org/990_pdf_archive/680/680050440/680050440_201406_990.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Turn to page 10. Under Item 11 (b). See the amount? $29,164 in legal</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>expenses. For 'problem people'. I'll say.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The 'problem people' at KZYX are directors like you, Ms. Courtney. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>And the problem is laziness. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Scott M.
