All that is true. Which is why I'm especially concerned to keep the environment as sane as possible. Joseph is part of a contingent at KPFA that wants to expand the power of the local board over what they refer to as "entrenched" staffers. From extended observation of the Pacifica scene for almost 15 years, that prospect frightens me. But I urge all listmembers in the Bay Area to look for themselves and report back.
