Surprise for City Hall Medford LEADERS are worried!
Frank Pilleri takes a huge hit from Adam Knight, the new guy on the block punches TV3 hard at the Candidates Forum. No one has anything good to say about Pilleri's disgusting abuse of the access channel, and a Class Action suit IS being discussed with lawyers and with citizens angry at the hideous characters, one accused of a false bomb threat and other misdeeds, and the butchering they did of Medford residents.
Arthur Alan Deluca told a former member he would rat out Ron deLucia, Harvey Alberg, Frank Pilleri and staff to save his own skin (paraphrased), so Deluca admitted he realized what they did was criminal.
Regarding Mayor Michael J. McGlynn’s plan to form a panel to draft new guidelines for access television in Medford, Knight argued access television serves a vital role in the community.
“I’m glad the fiasco at TV3 is behind us,” said Knight. “We need more community involvement, to expand the size of the board, identify people that are stakeholders and involve more people in the process.”
You've heard the term "October Surprise" - the time before an election when information is made public and voters have an opportunity to reconsider their vote, consider a candidate who may be better suited for the job.

When city council candidate Adam Knight called Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. a "fiasco" at the Candidates Night on October 23, 2013 it was a message from Michael J. McGlynn, tightly aligned with Knight. For those who understand politics, the McGlynn Machine knows how to put a smart strategy together so when McGlynn's lieutenants - Paul Camuso, Falco on the School Committee, George Scarpelli on that same body, Freddy Dello Russo Jr., Neil Osborne and Adam Knight speak, take what they say through the lens of the 26 year incumbent.
We heard that the new apartments at Hormel Stadium/Locust St./Freedom Way will have about 17 low-income units which usually go out for bid. Did anyone at Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. get around the bidding process? How did 4 individuals end up at Station Landing, why were two or more of them allegedly evicted, and did the Mayor pull strings?

If the Mayor pulled strings - and there is a CD that was referenced at the City Council meeting that information alluding to that, a pure allegation but one worth exploring, that information alluding to just that could exist, then it speaks volumes about McGlynn's character, or lack thereof.
Did a McGlynn family member profit at River's Edge and Station Landing and, if so, did McGlynn pull strings for what Adam Knight called "a fiasco." More important, why did McGlynn allow the individual who has been charged with a false bomb threat allegedly to handle the website uploads for Comcast's Project Open Voice and Made in Medford, where the video was posted that led to the arrest. The Mayor has received complaints on that individual going back the better part of a decade or more. This is not news to Mike McGlynn, yet McGlynn persisted in being involved with unsavory characters.
There is more information out there. Stay tuned.
