California Legislature Asks Pacifica For Records 6-1-01 |
The following letter was recently sent to Pacifica chair David Acosta by John Burton (D-San Francisco) , President Pro Tem of the California State Senate Lyn ===================
Mr. David Acosta
Dear Mr. Acosta: The California Legislature continues to have strong concerns about actions by Pacifica Radio and the impact of those actions on its stations and listeners. Specifically, I am requesting information and clarification of the following situations that have been brought to the Legislature's attention: * Pacifica's refusal to share KPFA's financial information with KPFA management; * Pacifica's use of KPFA listener-donated money for Pacifica's own legal fees; * Pacifica's use of funds to oppose union organizing. On their face, none of these issues seem to be in sync with Pacifica's public broadcasting responsibility or its mission as a California non-profit corporation. Your timely and thorough response to the above will be appreciated, and may relieve the Legislature of the need to hold a formal hearing, with all that entails, into these issues. Peace & friendship, John Burton ------- End of forwarded message ------- |
