Peter Broadwell reports from Monday September 21 candidate forum at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Palo Alto, hosted by Tomas Moran and Ray Meyer.
Went to the second Palo Alto candidate forum tonight. It was much better attended than the first Palo Alto one, perhaps because the ballot have actually arrivedwith the event dates in them.In attendance were representatives from Independents for Community Radio[1],Peoples Radio[2], Voices For Justice [3] and one completely unaffiliated candidate Judith Gips. Thomas Moran (former Pacifica Board Member) was in the audience and asked several probing questionsthat got all the candidates talking about how KPFA needs to get back to it's activist roots. This seemed to resonate well with the audience. Another topic that elicited much discussion was the archiving of non-music shows. The audience seemed to like the answers to this as well - action as opposed to rolling over andmaking the archives less useful.
Hopefully the audio will be available soon so others can hear the answers too.
