Public Records Requests in Massachusetts, Graded F in Boston Globe, B-1 Nov. 9 2015 Edition

One of the most popular sites for news in the city of Medford, Massachusetts
Read and enjoy it now before they kill the editor!

What? You don't believe me?   A judge in Somerville Court saw a meat cleaver with blood dripping off of it in a photo above a photo a stalker took of this editor on or about June 12th, 2015, the meat cleaver depicting what the guilty party was thinking of doing to her prey.  

You think having an ex- marine stalking you given that some (not all) veterans suffer from PTSD and are capable of hurting the public due to their training is enjoyable? Well, it isn't.  

When a few bad veterans ruin the good work our wonderful armed forces provide for the country it is a sad reflection on the lack of protection ordinary citizens have from people with strength who derive a sadistic pleasure from preying on the weak.

THEN - after the woman followed me - I was physically and verbally assaulted by the dirty Medford City Clerk, Ed Finn.

THEN - after we filed with the Federal Bureau of Investigation that the election would be stolen as Ed Finn and his wife were out bragging that one candidate would "lose" the election, it happened.  Ed Finn either has a crystal ball and can see into the future, or he is a petty thief helping McGlynn rig the election.

Since we don't believe in crystal balls and seeing into the future... 


 
A woman was harassing this site with anti-Public Access, anti-Public Records Request hate speech.

An order of protection was granted against her on September 1, 2015. This site is working to give Medford information on politicians.

McGlynn, the suspicious Mayor of Medford for twenty-eight years, aligned with crooked sheriff, the late Jimmy "Do you really think a family man killed himself" DiPaola, hates transparency, loathes public access TV, and appears to have had a hit squad aimed at this editor consisting of the city clerk and the woman who had to be restrained from harassing me.  These events happened between June 12 and June 16, 2015.

Either this editor is the unluckiest guy in the world with all that bad luck happening OR, McGlynn is vindictive and retaliates on his enemies.


Since I don't believe in luck, McGlynn looks guilty as sin.

Massachusetts earns D+ in ‘State Integrity Investigation’ by Center for Public Integrity

The Center for Public Integrity report also notes that the Legislature on Beacon Hill and the judiciary are exempt from the state public records law, which hasn’t seen an overall since 1973.
Massachusetts governors, including Republican Charlie Baker and Democrat Deval Patrick, have claimed the Corner Office is exempt from the public records law. They point to a broad interpretation of a past court ruling.
The exemption claims and other obstacles add up to a failing grade for Massachusetts.
“Routine records, from agency emails to internal datasets, can take weeks or months to obtain from state agencies, at costs running from a few hundred dollars to the not-unheard-of multi-million-dollar bills sent to some requesters,” the Center for Public Integrity added in its report.
The full report is available here.
Massachusetts isn’t alone in its poor grades. Only three states scored higher than a “D+,” including Connecticut (“C-“), California (“C-“) and Alaska (“C”).

 






State Police are probably afraid to show how many troopers and vehicles are involved in accidents, especially rear-ended accidents, considering how they tailgate anyone with the temerity of travelling in their "private" traffic lane.
