KPFA Concerned Listeners CL has always been concerned about getting big money players on the KPFA board and now they have two and one is charging "incompetence". The recent board elections brought on board the number two Hallinan, Matthew who is also a multi-millioniare from property speculation in San Francisco by his mother.
One of the first statements that millionaire Hallinan made at the recent meeting on Saturday January 12 was that Pacifica Election Supervisor Casey Peters was incompetent because of how the election was handled. Apparently he had been asked by CL staffer and KPFA Board Chair Bonnie Simmons to say who was next in line if somebody should resign. According to
Simmons, Peters did not respond prior to the meeting.
After voting on the new board minus Richard Phelps who resigned, the same CL board members who sued the foundation to get the election certified voted to prevent the permanent seating of next in line candidate Joe Wanzala. Citing the need to clarify whether he was indeed the next in line they spent more than 45 minutes discussing this issue. When KPFA boad members Chandra Hauptman got Peters on the line, the same sticklers for a fair election voted against allowing him to state who was next in line to the board to clarify this at the meeting.
Now that we have two Hallinan millionaires on the board I guess we can expect more financial transparency and honesty at KPFA in the operation of this station and network?
