Is MPR truly a nonprofit?

It really is hard to imagine Minnesota Public Radio as a nonprofit corporation in the true sense of the term ('MPR disputing funding's terms,' Feb. 15). President and CEO William Kling, a wily media mogul, has established a lavish statewide public radio monopoly under the auspices of nonprofit trappings, all the while asking for public (read: taxpayer) monies.

So it comes as no surprise that MPR is disputing funding terms associated with a state appropriation of $380,000. Why reveal all MPR salaries in excess of $100,000 when MPR already has revealed on its 2004 tax return that the 12 highest-paid salaries are in excess of $100,000? Especially during a fund drive?"
