FROM A CANDIDATE FOR CITY COUNCIL
Thanks to Joe Viglione,
fellow Medford resident, who drove the Democrat City Committee Chairman
to the point of absolute childishness and adolescent fervor of tawdry
screaming and total bitter angst at last night's Medford City Council
meeting.
It was quite a sight of pure beauty to see the Democrat
Chairman enraged with veins popping out of his neck and a total
disruption to the Council Meeting as he
stormed off like an incorrigible child who didn't get his way. LOL. It
was the best early Christmas present I ever received. What was it Joe
did that drove this man totally bonkers? He told him the truth, that's
what. Thanks again, Joe. You brought a very important issue before the
Council last night and I look forward to more of your excellent points
of interest and issues the Council and the city at large needs to be
made aware of in our community. All my best and have a great day, Sir.

JOE RESPONDS:
Hi Robert, thank you for saying what you said too at the council. Voices are needed. What is sad about this is that the incumbent Democrat Mayor of 26 years used the poor old guy to be a pit bull. The fellow is in my prayers because he suffers from Aphasia (brain damage) and his wife should NEVER have brought him out knowing that he would be disruptive at a council meeting. His wife is the one who told me that her husband has Aphasia, so why she would bring him to a council meeting to make embarrassing statements on so many occasions ...it is just inexcusable conduct in a democracy. I have very carefully logged the Democratic City and Ward Committee's actions over the past 2 years and can say with confidence that the Candidates Night is skewed to favor the 26-year incumbents wishes. The woman chose a union person and a fellow from the Medford Chamber of Commerce. He's a nice guy, but he is TOTALLY in the Mayor's back pocket (I have videotaped chamber meetings for the City as a volunteer). What we need to do, as a community, is have equal time for all candidates. Right now Rob Cappucci and other candidates are not getting a fair shake. 5 minutes from the Mayor's personal videographer, Jack Dempsey, who teaches at Medford High School and is paid for out of P/E/G monies that are supposed to go to the government channel and to students to have their own studio. Instead, the Mayor's videographer leaves the school during school hours to videotape the Mayor's events (I'm a witness to this) and then has a JDSportsvideo in Lexington which allegedly charges the students and parents for Dempsey to make "highlight reels" for them. Isn't this "double dipping?" It seems to be. Dempsey is the one who will give Candidate Cappucci 5 minutes on TV. Is that fair? The Democratic Mayor's videographer might give Mr. Cappucci bad lighting or edit something out. How can we trust this process?
