Yes, KPFA's GM has resigned
Pacifica's national board met in Houston last weekend, without its newly-elected KPFA delegates. Outgoing national board members prevented seating those delegates by illegally extending their own terms.
That provoked an Alameda County Superior Court judge to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) against Pacifica last week which prohibited the national board from discussing KPFA issues until the matter is resolved. A hearing is set for March 18.
Pacifica's executive director Arlene Englehardt announced during the Houston meeting that KPFA's general manager, Amit Pendyal, had resigned. He had only been employed about a month. Weeks ago, Pacifica had said Pendyal was on a "personal leave."
Another example of Engelhardt dishonesty and/or ineptitude!

Two went, two didn't. The two who didn't go couldn't because Dan Siegel forgot to announce he was Jean Quan's legal advisor and therefore can't sit concurrently on Pacifica's board. If he'd acknowledge that (as he's been asked to do since January 16th), then the two seats would have been filled months ago. Instead Save KPFA carries on and files lawsuits so the matter remains unresolved. They tried to get the Alameda County Court to agree political appointee Siegel could go to the board meeting. The court didn't. The matter won't get resolved until at least late March unless Siegel finally gives up the ghost and 2 new delegates are selected.

Weeks ago he was on a personal leave. He finally decided the combination of dealing with his own personal challenges and managing KPFA's hostile and out-of-control paid staff was not worth any amount of money. No one can blame him. A staff member joked years ago that "the place was "unmanageable" (and we like it that way)".
No fucking kidding. The inmates are running the asylum and they try to kill anyone who notices. That is all the hysteria is about. Just Engelhardt and a few others saying - no more inmates running the asylum.
When you spend all of your cash reserves, that is reality.
Monopoly money doesn't cut it, not do checks hidden in desks and then locked up offsite for safekeeping.
All the spinning in the world doesn't change that.

One's responsible and one is not.
What was a big deal is that Mayor Jean Quan's advisor Dan Siegel lost his attempt to get a TRO seating him on the PNB .
That's what he came into court to do . And he failed.
On March 18 he is going to try again . But he will be undoubtly shot down again . So on March 19 he will not regain his seat on the LSB .
