POLITICAL ASSASSIN TRYING TO LET MEDFORD'S OUTGOING MAYOR, MCGLYNN HOLD ON TO POWER

Dear Boston Magazine,

Mayor McGlynn of Medford is stepping down after 27 1/2 years in office, a full 28 years if he leaves in January of 2016.   Does anyone really believe McGlynn would walk away when so many relatives seem to be on the public payroll, including two of his daughters getting big money at "The McGlynn School."

Mayor's are few, and often not scrutinized.  They become arrogant and think no one of significance is watching, so they take advantage of the people they took an oath to serve.

There are 46 Mayors in the Commonwealth, according to this site: https://www.mma.org/members-mainmenu-109/mayors/498-massachusetts-mayors-list

Mayors fly under the radar.  They get away with much because there is very little scrutiny.  In America there are reportedly 19,429 municipal governments, according to citymayors.com*   - and unless some egregious act is obvious, the bad ones can get away with much.

Boston Magazine may want to consider looking into how poorly some mayors run cities in the Commonwealth, and how they become such big fish in little ponds.

21 May 2015: There are 19,429 municipal governments in the United States. Many small towns use the council-manager system (most counties are run this way) and those that don't, have a weak mayor-council system. Almost all large US cities have strong mayor systems.

In Medford the outgoing lame-duck Michael J. McGlynn is desperate to pick a candidate to be his successor.  McGlynn's seeming obsession with holding on to power includes having a puppet.  

    The "Charlie McCarthy" that McGlynn has chosen, Stephanie Muccini-Burke, is only happy to let him pull her strings,and is aided and abetted by a political assassin who does their dirty work.  

     Paul A. Camuso, employed by Middlesex Sheriff Peter Koutoujian and an outgoing member of the Medford City Council, is one unstable and unbalanced individual, just the kind of lunatic needed to figuratively murder a campaign.    Remember, mayors - and mayoral campaigns - are so insignificant outside of city borders that neighboring cities and towns are very much unaware of the infighting, what outsiders may consider "petty squabbles."

But that's where people are wrong.   If Greece goes bankrupt it has an effect on neighboring countries.  So too when a city has suspicious activities by elected "public servants" and government officials, a city clerk, say, with a bad temper exploding at a resident in front of witnesses, it does impact a municipality's neighbors.

Boston Magazine should look into Paul A. Camuso's pension at the sheriff's office.  Boston Magazine may want to look at all the "motions" Camuso has put on the agenda and see if he ever followed through;  look at his campaign promises and how little Camuso has done for Medford.  How Camuso's job is, actually, as hatchet man for the lame-duck Mayor.

A lame-duck Councilor as hatchet man or "henchman" for a highly suspicious Mayor.

There's a big story here, even if the 46 mayors in Massachusetts don't make for a sexy story.

Look into this one.  There's something here.

Sincerely,

The Editor
