Dear Friends,

Pacifica's local station board elections have taken a particularly nasty turn. A group of candidates running for the KPFA local board have issued statements that contain little more than personal attacks on their opponents and station staff. A candidate at WBAI engages in blatant race-baiting.

Pete Korakis writes:

I am happy to announce that all of the upcoming LSB election candidates have their own personal blog, available at the official Pacifica Elections website.

In an effort to make these address easier to communicate to others, every candidate’s blog address is simply the official website address, ’slash’ the candidate’s firstname dash lastname.
