Mitchell doesn't even pretend to be a journalist, with her non-informative victory lap blog: savekboo.org/2013/09/16/victory/"Victory"? Over what? Common sense? And how about stopping for three seconds and actually reporting on the goddam vote? Like a real journalist? You know, how many voted, what numbers/percentage voted for who, etc. It's really fucking easy. It's like basic math. Look KATU did it about an issue KKK should be familiar with: elections.katu.com/race.asp?ID=100Race: 26-151 Fluoridation of Portland's Drinking Water Winner Choice Votes Vote % No 76,496 60% Yes 50,330 40% Even after the KKK "victory"(if you want to call a heavily biased and censored campaign a legitimate victory) these clowns still aren't secure enough for real transparency? And who is this "Victory" over? Theresa isn't saying anymore because the "corporatist" propaganda is retarded. I predict this will be quoted a lot:

Mitchell cross posted to KKK on facebook: Think about her "peace and progress" statement a minute: why would staff not have peace until after this election? Staff function shouldn't be affected by who's on the board. Unless someone on the staff is invested in using the board as their proxy. Let's fix that statement: "Now the Inner Party can look forward to some progress, and Ani Haines can look forward to some peace." Except even that's not going to be true for long.

Haines updated the Facebook page(suspect it's Haines) and her wife is doing victory laps online, but there's no break down of votes on the website? What kind of "democracy" is this? League Women voter was counting this, right? Maybe someone needs to call them...

KBOO Progress is 1 step forward, 2 steps back. (Yes KBOO has danced this dance many times) It's common for the staff to try to get progress stuck in the processes. Often in an attempt to wait things out til a new Board is elected. Most new Board members will either be friends or newbies that don't have a clue to the actual internal problems. This is an ever going cycle and the Board is the staff's favorite tool. I look forward to seeing all the vilifying postings when the staff start battling the corporate attitudes and rules that will come from Mark Sherman, Adin Rogovin, Sue Bartlett, and if she can stick it out long enough, Jen Davis. Thing is, look at the KBOO strategic plan, the 2006 NFCB Station Assessment and the many Board comments on the Staff Collective Management proposal and progress takes on a meaning that Glorious Leader is avoiding: Progress will include another attempt at staffing assessment and changes. There is no other way to fix the mass amount of issues KBOO has until there is a competent and productive staff body. This element has been missing for at least 15 years. Competent and productive staff either start to lose that edge and add to the overall problem or they leave. This "Keeper Board' will come to the same conclusion that the previous Board came to when they put Lynn in place as E.D., and years of different Boards before that saw the same things. If the Board continues to manage the staff themselves, they will get a real eye opener after the honeymoon wears off. (Same old story-new faces on the Board) If this Board is not capable of seeing the real problems and fixing them, then maybe that's not their goal and then look for the assets to start vanishing! The one constant over the many years of vilifying, harassing and chasing out management and Board members is the same core staff. Makes you get a clearer picture on where the real problem is in the infrastructure. The staff will have peace until the Board demands progress! Glorious Leader just needs to spike that football upside her head ... her comment above......huge facepalm!

THIS.
We have the working hypothesis the board and staff are organs of a separate entity, dubbed the Inner Party. This entity is the real power that controls KBOO, and has members in staff and on board. It seems staff members are more stable, but that's a product of how staff works anywhere. Staff should be more stable than the board. But they make a nice marker of the passing time, don't they?
Regarding assets, this is why Adin's involvement is concerning. Besides his corporatish history, little is known about him. He makes vague statements of past experience, but doesn't go into details.
Either the KKKers are about to be victims of a con or they know him from somewhere and kept quiet for the appearance of no conflict of interest. Unfortunately it makes them look dumb. But maybe they're comfortable with that by now.
More generally, have these people thought of their exit strategy? When KBOO crashes and burns, when the signal is dead and the website is gone, what will be left online to explain what happened?
*pregnant pause*
They really should have expected this.

Wow. They still don't get what's wrong with "KKK":
A kbot:
Someone pointing out the obvious:
How out of touch can they be to not see calling themselves Keep KBOO KBOO would lead to being mocked as the "KKK"?
Guess they really didn't expect opposition this year.

Mitchell doesn't even pretend to be a journalist, with her non-informative victory lap blog: savekboo.org/2013/09/16/victory/ I hope Mitchell is correct, but I would be very surprised if it becomes true. There are certain staff that are a major road block to progress at KBOO, not to mention dysfunctional board and volunteers. I predict a few months of "honeymoon" at KBOO and then the problems will be bigger than ever.

for instance take conch speculation he's going to be joining staff soon prez of board and close friend of ani/mitch
if the board is the problem, having the ex PREZ of the problem doesn't make sense if staff is the problem, conch would have backed up hadiran who minced no words about staff even if conch disliked hadrian, he'd have done something on his own if that was a real concern..and if he wasn't buds with ani etc whatever's going to happen conch being ani's buddy means NOTHING will happen that challenges staff
the common denominator in the body/chair shuffling is that the "party"(ani and gang) maintains control
smoke... mirrors...CONTROL then bankruptcy lol

Congrats to KKK ....
I voted early - way back when I first read the nasty remarks about Thom Hartmann on Blue Oregon.
I stopped the auto deduction from my bank account to KBOO.
Sorry Ben and Ed I would have voted for ya.

Those of us in opposition were horrified that people might actually vote for us. So no worries. Dodged that bullet. On to better things.
