SOME INFORMATION REDACTED OR DELETED AS THIS IS PART OF AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO THE FINANCES OF TV3 MEDFORD

If "The process of dissolution has commenced." as Mr. Rumley states, and the sole oversight is the Issuing Authority

Dear XXXXX

(information removed)


I received a rather testy response from Medford City Solicitor Rumley on November 14th, which was not unexpected.

It would be optimal for me to receive the information prior to the City Council meeting as this topic is, again, on the agenda. See #4 (below).

The key issue that the documents might shed light on is MCC allegedly paying a staffer anywhere from 45K to 47K on the 990 forms, yet since the staffer in question worked only 6 PM - 9 PM five days a week, with a few hours on Saturday, it seems like an inflated salary.  Based on information and belief the staffer actually received $16,000 to $20,000.  It begs the question, if accurate, who received the 45 thousand dollars of cable TV subscriber monies?

This is a HUGE issue in Medford and the Mayor and Mr. Rumley's reluctance to answer simplexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxshould be a red flag to your office.  

Here is some data on the situation and why I believe Rumley is refusing to respond accurately and honestly with the XXXXXXXXX

1)   xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

XXXXXXXXXX xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

CIty Council

meeting that the city was making an inventory of the assets of the publicly-funded, dissolved corporation Medford Community Cablevision, Inc.  Rumley was documented on the Government channel - all meetings broadcast and recorded to DVD

2)ALL the assets of the corporation, including the financials, are now required to be in the hands of the city of Medford

3)Mayor McGlynn uses some of the P/E/G monies to pay three

salaries at the high school. A previous xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

found the P/E/G monies being utilized to pay three teachers, which is not the intended purpose of those funds cable subscribers are forced to pay via the franchise fee.

4)Tuesday evening, November 19, 2013, the issue is again before the council and residents of Medford

13-753-Offered by Councillor Penta
Be It Resolved that our City Auditor, Ann Baker, appear before the council with an inventory report of payments received and disbursed by the City to channel 3, 15 and 16 in addition to monies transferred form the Council's government account for the past five years and from what accounts were they disbursed to and from in addition to what is the exact amount that the City has withheld from the first quarter of this year to this day for PEG access money.

Based on information and belief, I am quite certain that Mr. Rumley does have access to the bank records of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. - even if he has the Mayor putting them in a file away from his office so he can claim it "plausible" when he denies the documents to citizens properly requesting them.

Mayor Michael J. McGlynn has ALWAYS used the office of the City Solicitor as a "buffer zone" to send people to.  The Mayor and the City Solicitor's office are engaging in a sick political game to keep the citizens in the dark.

As Mr. Rumley knows, former D.A. Gerry Leone was instrumental in setting up a meeting for me on March 15, 2013 with xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxdiscuss the financials of TV3.    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx attended. Both xxxxxx AND xXXXXXxx assured me XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxx

I met with Attorney General Martha Coakley at a campaign stop - in front of Rumley's boss, Mayor Michael J. McGlynn on or about September 16, 2013, discussing access TV issues.

If Mr. Rumley has cast any aspersions against me to your office in an attempt to thwart xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx it would be par for the course.  He has previously ridiculed myself and Councilor Michael Marks in public, and even wrote toxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxin an attempt to get xxxxxxxxxx to distance himself from me - this was after Rumley discriminated against me and proclaimed that I had to use an attorney to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  City Hall also charges me whenever possible as a way of attempting to thwart any investigation into the 26-year incumbent Mayor's conduct. Note the testy e mail from Rumley (Exhibit A, below) showing clearly his idea of public service.  You may share this e mail with Mr. Rumley - it shows him exactly as he is.

I would appreciate speaking to the "XXXXXXXXX" on Tuesday so that City Hall responds in an appropriate fashion and hands over the documents.

Warm Regards,
