The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts protects our Access TV rights in the City of Medford, Mass.

Access TV
Article XVI. [The liberty of the press is essential to the security of freedom in a state: it ought not, therefore, to be restrained in this commonwealth.] [See Amendments, Art. XLVIII, The Initiative, II, sec. 2.] [Annulled and superseded by Amendments, Art. LXXVII.
There is no public access TV in the city of Medford, just as I had warned the residents over ten years ago.

(Notice, there's a BIG GAP between examples 1 and 2; be patient)
___________________________________________
1)TV3 Medford SUED THE CITY AND LOST
---rather than facilitate programming, their mandate, the staff at TV3 told auditors it was owed $55,000.00 from the City when the Auditors could NOT substantiate monies.
a)Had Frank Pilleri stepped down and allowed an honest and fair election on January 19, 2008, we would have legitimate answers - not the interference from Frank Pilleri keeping the auditors (paid by taxpayers) from doing their job.
b)The monies TV 3 sued for were NOT the $55,000 the auditors asked about. The City Council is receiving 4 pages from the court case tonight. Let Frankie give the council his mumbo jumbo. Especially since Frank lost the court case.
c)If the auditors were told - absolutely - that TV3 was owed that money, and if TV3 lost the court case (which was never made public until the City Solicitor e mailed me on Saturday, May 25, 2013 confirming information that I obtained in Middlesex Superior Court on Thursday, May 23, 2013 while looking for any court case MCC may have filed on Developer Fustolo's 5 High Street), then something is amiss.
Pilleri is using a $57,500.00 figure that he projected he would win in court - which he didn't - to attempt to satisfy outside auditors from Melanson Heath & Co PC when they probed about $55,000.00
d)That's a difference of $2500.00, no small chunk of change (two households could get a year's each worth of cable with that huge amount of money)

2)For only $25.00 more, Anthony Pope of San Luis Obispo faced a year in jail. (Confession from Pope below)
http://medfordinformationcentral.blogspot.com/2013/05/anthony-pope-former-head-of-san-luis.html
Anthony Pope, the former head of the San Luis Obispo County Public Access television station, faces up to a year in jail for embezzling $2,525 from the station.
e)So Pilleri can't account for credit card / ATM card receipts that Dawn Natalia allegedly received which totaled about $5,000.00, TV3 only accounting for $504.00 or so. The Board of Directors claimed it was for videotape for members...well...
1)They have no real membership that can be verified
2)Members have to PAY for tape at TV3, so...show us the receipts that 100 members paid $50.00 each in tape costs. It's very simple...IF that information exists and IF the Board of TV3 is not lying and hiding something and IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF ...lots of IF's and Frankie's word isn't worth SPIT!

Here's what happens when outside auditors get to do their job, as with Stanley Komins and West Medford Hillside Little League:
TV executive pleads no contest to embezzlement
April 21, 2011 (ONLY 2 YEARS AGO; there are 3 new cases, Connecticut and Taunton, Mass in the past 7 months!)
http://calcoastnews.com/2011/04/tv-executive-pleads-no-contest-to-embezzlement/The former head of San Luis Obispo County Public Access television pleaded no contest on April 11 to charges he embezzled funds from the nonprofit. [NewTimes]
Anthony Pope was arrested on April 6 for embezzling $2,525 from the station.
In August, Pope secured funding for the purchase of electronic equipment for the station. He, however, allegedly returned the equipment before it could be used by the TV station. Prosecutors said he used the money to buy personal items including laptop computers.
After serving only five months as chairman of the nonprofit’s board, Pope was removed from the lead position in August because of complaints that he “pissed people off and burned a lot of bridges.” During his time as chairman, the nonprofit’s relationship with Charter Communications soured and the public access station lost its studio.
Pope faces up to a year in jail, restitution and three years of formal probation. His sentencing is set for May 9.
He remains in San Luis Obispo County Jail with bond set at $35,000.

3)WHERE IS PROJECT OPEN VOICE
Pilleri allegedly pissed off Comcast's new access TV platform (probably over me!!!) and now POV has kicked Medford off of the front page where it once was!
http://www.projectopenvoice.com/
You have to now click on the bottom right hand of the page: VISIT OUR TEST SITE
Even the "You Tube" version of Access Comcast is pawning off on people (so much for Channel 1 use for residents) is being slighted thanks to tainted access TV.
_______________________________________
CITY COUNCIL PLEASE NOTE:
Project Open Voice was brought in to communities that had bad access TV so that Comcast could satisfy the FCC in its purchase of NBC. Tv3 took it out of context and didn't tell the truth to residents - Open Voice was brought in - most likely - because Medford access TV was so very bad...the reputation of Dirty Talk Live, a juvenile station manager and the Judge Jackson-Thompson blemish and chilling failure of an audit!
More Frankie lies:
TV3 station management did the usual out-of-context spin that TV3 was "awarded" Open Voice because it had stuffed ACM award ballots. Snakes. Bad information, not truthful with cable tv subscribers funding it, and even McGlynn we hear started repeating the lies.
Unbelievable. For 1 person to have sole oversight makes that 1 person ripe for blackmail. That's why there needs to be a CABLE TV ADVISORY BOARD, yet a Sr. Fraud Investigator for the Commonwealth was sitting at the hearing last Tuesday at City Hall and not yet making a statement. Betcha the Sr. Fraud Investigator is writing a very quiet report to a government agency...but I'll shut up now...perhaps revealing too much."
Opposition Leader to Sr. Fraud Investigator:
"When are we doing dinner to Discuss TV3, end of 2017"
Fraud Investigator: In 2013.
OK. At least we have a dinner date to discuss Frankie and the boys.

THERE ARE SO MANY PISSED OFF CABLE TV SUBSCRIBERS IN MEDFORD MASSACHUSETTS THAT THE CITY SOLICITOR HAD TO BRING IN A POLICE DETAIL BECAUSE FRANK PILLERI'S TV3 WAS REPORTED ( BY MATT HABERSTROH ALLEGEDLY TO THE CITY SOLICITOR) THAT THEY WERE GOING TO USE PHYSICAL VIOLENCE TO STOP PEOPLE FROM TESTIFYING.
THE ONE PERSON THE POLICE REMOVED WAS TV3'S OWN LAWYER, THE MAYOR'S COUSIN.
ONE OF THE LAWYER'S OWN CLIENTS, WHOSE NAME CLOSELY RESEMBLES MEDFORD COMMUNITY CABLEVISION (THE NITWIT USED THE WRONG PLEADING IN A COURT CASE) SAID TO ME ON THE PHONE:
"HOW DO YOU SPELL LAWYER?
L-I-A-R
That's from ANOTHER client of TV3's lawyer
Yikes!
Makes the "sinister" Johnny Granara (not my word for Granara, someone posted that on the internet) look like a day at the beach. Of course I met the notorious Mr. Granara for the first time yesterday at the cemetery...and escaped...at least this time...
