Theresa Mitchell is the only presence representing KBOO at PIMC so far. Ergo readers must suspect "KKK" is tacitly endorsed by current KBOO management:

Crucial KBOO election ballots are out
author: Theresa Mitchell
My opinion: This election will decide whether community radio will stay free and accessible.
KBOO BALLOTS ARE OUT--VOTE NOW!
The Keep KBOO as KBOO Committee/Friends of KBOO recommend the following five candidates:
Michael Wells, Adin Rogovin, Jennifer Davis, Robin Ryan and Joe Uris.
Note that there are four slots available in the Election; I recommend choosing among the five listed above.
This is a crucial election. We need to get our excellent and dedicated people on the Board, to avoid any further dalliance with the corporate capitulationism that has so far cost the KBOO radio community the proceeds of a Winter Membership Drive, and a great deal of stress and division. The slate listed above will promote the visibility of the Station, adding listeners, members, and financial strength. They are dedicated to a truly accessible and transparent process. Please choose your candidates and get your ballot in by mail, at the station, or in person at the Annual Meeting:
ANNUAL MEETING SUNDAY SEPT. 15, 2013, 1 TO 4 PM
MATT DISHMAN COMMUNITY CENTER 77 NE KNOTT ST PORTLAND, OR
Ballots taken to the Meeting are due by 2:40 PM deadline!
Ben Hoyne, a KBOO Board candidate that I do NOT recommend, has posted these words on Blue Oregon, the Democratic Party-aligned website:
"My goal is to get 1,000 people to pay $20 to become KBOO members and VOTE in the September board election. The ballot will be mailed to you; all you have to do is mail it back.
"We need to get 1,000 people willing to place a $20 bet on progressive media, on community radio, on KBOO. Ballots will be mailed in late July, so you need to become a member soon."

Ben and his ilk would bring back the corporate Board Policy Manual and the top-down management that the Keepers have worked to abolish at KBOO. That's why we need to step up with our ballots and participation, and move towards our goal of a fully Internet-savvy people's media hub.

Theresa,
Can you please provide a source that would indicate I "would bring back the corporate Board Policy Manual and the top-down management that the Keepers have worked to abolish at KBOO."
This seems like Theresa's opinion of what I would do, not actual reporting. Not sure what she bases that on, certainly not a conversation with me.
I'd hope the worker bees and IMC would treat this post accordingly.
Thanks,
Ben

why do this? link
@theresa,
Why do you have to make things personal by singling out Ben? This is, at best, unhelpful.
Can't you just post the plain information about a few good candidates that would be great for KBOO and leave it at that?

Michael link
please do NOT vote for Rabia Yeaman as she has been very instrumental in trying to change KBOO toward an undemocratic station!
