Governor Martha Coakley
State House
Beacon Hill
Boston, MA

Dear Governor Coakley:

It appears you have had a hand in Mayor Michael J. McGlynn forcing the old Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. out of the community for not being "community."  If so, I thank you for holding to your promise made to me at Dempsey's when you launched your campaign and, again, at McGlynn's inauguration in January.  I also met (again) with Ed Markey at the Inauguration and asked you both for our access TV station.  You both shook my hand in our brief meetings, so I take that as an affirmative that we will have a new access station in Medford.

As I said to you, Madame Governor, how can we help you get elected without an access TV station?

Now I know you are busy tidying up the AG's office for your transition to the most powerful seat in Massachusetts, but we need your help again. As you are a Medford resident you are aware that Stanley Komins left $100.00 to the little league and he is now on trial for embezzlement.    Interesting that Mr. Komins was in power just about as long as Francis R. Pilleri, Jr.  As you also know, public records requests have been filed with City Hall, the Secretary of the Commonwealth and with the Attorney General's office.  I intend to bring this to the attention of the judge in Woburn Superior Court when MCC TV3 thinks they will get a rubber stamp and all their alleged sins will be absolved without even the sign of the cross.  That ain't gonna happen so long as I'm breathing.

So the question to you, Honorable Martha, is - where are the financial records of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc., and will you hold the board of directors - Arthur Alan Deluca, Harvey Alberg, Ronald DeLucia, Francis R. Pilleri, Jr., Daniel Mailhiot, Deric Dyer, Cornelius Murphy, Jay Ricci, Steve Marra and others accountable to the cable TV subscribers who funded the entity that Councilor Adam Knight called "a fiasco."

It was refreshing to see Councilor Knight and Councilor Penta at the first meeting of the Cable TV panel on February 3, 2014.  We're expecting Councilor Caraviello, Councilor Lungo-Koehn and Councilor Marks to show up at a future meeting.  The City Council deserves credit for voting 7-0 again when the Honorable Jeanne Martin brought the public access issue up again.  It was a healthy debate.

Meeting Minutes and Financial Records, your Honor.  That's what we are looking for from Medford Community Cablevision, Inc.  You see, Madame Attorney General (soon to be Governor if the polls showing an 11 point lead over Charlie Baker are to be believed,) rather than show us those records, TV3 appears to have cut a deal with the Issuing Authority.  There's an e mail from Frank Pilleri saying he will step down if all this "goes away."  All what? 

---The financial records?

---the meeting minutes?

---the allegations of racism and hate speech being investigated by the police and allegedly sent to the DA's office?

-We will keep hammering the issue of the financial records until we see why the document on your site claims a station manager who had a full time job elsewhere claims 45k or 49K on your site, yet a Boston resident who was generating programming at TV3 (in violation of their own policies and procedures) claims that person only received 16K a year.  If true, those in government should look very closely at how the money was distributed.  Who would pay someone close to 50K to show up at 7 PM and leave at 9 PM, and that's when he wasn't at the City Council being named in a police report as an alleged person of interest.

The financial records, Governor, and the racism charges that are allegedly pending.  The meeting minutes.

There are a lot of questions Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. does not want to answer.  Oh you will hear them yell and scream "Move on" - "Forget the past" - "Ignore that man behind the curtain" - but when a Boston resident said they wanted to collapse the corporation and run off with the funds, and when you see the financial shambles a board member and his wife's unprofessional lives are in, it begs the question, where's the money?

Madame Governor, new public records requests will be in motion to find out just that.

Thank you for your cooperation in this investigation into a corporation that had an Agreement with the city to serve the cable TV subscribers and the public.  Thank you, Governor Coakley.
