A snippet from Tuesday’s national finance committee meeting, which displays the Siegel/Brazon majority wiggling out of Bill Crosier’s sensible motion that requirements for Texas station KPFT to have reality-based budget numbers be applied to the other four stations as well.

The offensive clauses included these:

Update July and August 2015 columns to incorporate actual figures.

Provide data supporting the fulfillment assumptions

Reduce listener support to the amount actually recorded over the last 12 months or provide written support for any higher figure

Reduce budgeted expenses so as to maintain a balanced operating budget and a positive cash balance at the end of each month.

Now why would you want to do any of that?
