I can't imagine what it has been like for the staff if this has been going on as long as it appears to be. Sounds like even before Ms. Stokstad arrived there were troubles between the previous ed. dir. and Mr. Baer. She must have some length of time in her contract. Let her do her job and see what she has to offer instead of all the drama. If she has staff support and producer support doesn't the board owe her a chance?

I found video of her speaking at the Santa Barbara City Council Meeting:

She speaks at 42 minutes into the video.

Seems like a strong gal to me.
