Government is incompetent and corrupt. The San Fran government school district is looking at closing schools, cutting teachers and making other massive cuts.
Yet, it has an extra $200,000 to keep a radio station, not educational, on the air.
"With fundraising hauls taking a hit from the recession, KALW 91.7 FM, an independent public radio station in San Francisco, is set to receive a $200,000 loan from the cash-strapped San Francisco Unified School District.
The seven-member school board voted unanimously Tuesday night to approve the loan to the storied station, which celebrates its 70th anniversary this year. The funds are due back, with interest, at the end of June 2012."
What if the station is unable to repay the "loan"? Will the government school district take over, own and run a radio station. I have heard a rumor that the San Fran market has more than a dozen, but only one good one, KSFO. Is this what San Fran folks pay taxes so government schools can open?
