Does Camuso have the Character to be Council President???

The Cost of a City Council meeting

Council President   Thirty Thousand Dollars  ($29,700.00)
Vice President   27,900.00
5 additional councilors $26,700

That's 133,500.00 for five councilors, plus $57,600 for the President and Vice President totaling $190,600.00

190,600 divided by 40  equals $4,765 per council meeting

190,600 divided by 52 equals $3665.38 per council meeting



Medford citizens being cheated by the product at that price

Too high a price for buffoonery!

Posted Sep 05, 2013 @ 12:00 PM City councilors earn $26,700 per year with an extra $1,200 for vice president and $3,000 for the president. In turn, they are expected to attend about 40 meetings each year Read more: http://www.wickedlocal.com/medford/news/x1803287038/WHOS-HERE-Medford-City-Council-attendance-records-reviewed#ixzz2lo35yOAY 

$200,000 divided by 52 weeks is $3846.15 per council meeting; $200,000 divided by 40 meetings is a cost of $5,000.00 per council meeting.  As chair of the council’s Licensing Subcommittee Camuso looked into the backgrounds of every taxi driver.  With the previous council president, Camuso's uncle, paying out a cool $402,000.00 to a complainant at his day job at Wells Fargo (one of three complainants; the original complaint was for 1.8 million), the city council should be obligated to see if any similar nonsense is in Mr. Camuso's file before he touches the city budget.  Camuso having worked for embattled Sheriff Jim DiPaola's office is a huge red flag

As Camuso was the chair of the council's Licensing Subcommittee, and now he's a "movin' on up" - who will be
the new chair AND, most important, will the council look into Camuso's background so that Medford isn't saddled with another suspicious character running the council as "president."

The Sheriff's Department refused to give information on Camuso's past; refused to answer a simple question: Does Paul A. Camuso have a criminal record?


After serving 10 years on the Medford City Council, Paul Camuso chose to seek re-election because he wants to continue serving residents and moving the city forward.
“The city’s moving forward, and the city is changing,” said Camuso. “The diverse community that it is, I just love serving and want to serve for another two years.”
During this last term in office, Camuso cited lowering the seating requirement for businesses to attain a full liquor license as one of his greatest accomplishments.
“The home rule petition I initiated got singled out by the governor,” said Camuso, who has chaired the council’s Licensing Subcommittee for the last several years. “It’s an economic tool where you get some of the smaller establishments who maybe didn’t want to open in our community because of the liquor license
