Longest-Serving Mayor In Mass., Michael McGlynn Of Medford, Won’t Seek 15th Term
May 26, 2015
On the big challenge facing cities:
MM: “The big challenge will always be — it
MM: “The big challenge will always be — it
will never change — finance. I’ve gone
through three recessions in my 28 years and if
you don’t have the money, you can’t hire the
personnel, you can’t deliver the services, you
can’t improve the quality of life, so you have
to be creative. You have to work with the
private sector. That’s the biggest issue.”

McGlynn's total and obvious lack of
credibility
The goal should be improving Medford. Period.
As we enter the most critical election of the past 30 years in Medford, please keep in mind that it is one where the incoming winners of this election are going to have as much work to do cleaning up McGlybnn's mess as ANY president had to do cleaning up George W. Bush's mess.
For all the hits Obama takes from the GOP, one has to give Obama credit for getting the jobs and the economy back on track, and that is what Medford's next Mayor and City Council will have to do, dig out from under the incredible mess McGlynn has created.
Can a budget director do it? Probably not, someone FROM the McGlynn Administration certainly can't be objective and honest about the devastation caused by the McGlynn Tsunami
For the past twelve years as I've fought for YOUR right to be on Access TV both the Mayor (McGlynn) and his TV 3 cronies have run a smear campaign like nothing you've ever seen before. They fixated on me, and they have accused me of everything from the Kennedy Assassination to being the cause of World War I.
They lack credibility - the Mayor and Frank Pilleri's gang. And that which doesn't kill you make's one stronger.
We've been victimized by Adam Knight, Fred Dello Russo Jr. and Paul Camuso, three individuals who have leeched off taxpayers with their ill-advised pay raise and their votes that benefited the McGlynn dictatorship.
When Brian Codi of the N.E. Baptist Church harassed me on December 10, 2002, it initiated 12 years and six months of a battle to establish access TV in Medford.
No one helped me when the vicious and vindictive TV3 ganged up on me, and - later - when the Mayor turned a blind eye to the TV3 malfeasance.
Where is the public outcry regarding those millions of dollars in cable tv subscriber monies Michael J. McGlynn has never properly accounted for?
Let McGlynn's wrongful conduct reflect back on his former budget director and director of personnel. If she wants to campaign for Mayor riding on McGlynn's coattails, let her take the good of McGlynn along with the bad of McGlynn. For the bad far outweighs the good.
Issues of credibility in Medford politics? See who Paul Camuso endorses to know who you must not vote for. ANYONE Camuso is for should be someone you vote against. It comes down to credibility, integrity and improving Medford.
McGlynn leeched off of Medford; raided our resources, glorified himself, and showered his family with perks. Fred Dello Russo, Adam Knight, Paul Camuso, they are part of that ugly way of doing political business.
Explain it to them in no uncertain terms
