Waiting for the next Mea Culpa from Leo Sacco.,
We hear he is on "vacation" allegedly with his new girlfriend. E Harmony indeed!
Meanwhile, Medford goes to hell in a hand basket.
DARTH STEPHANIE AND
POLICE CHIEF LEO A. SACCO, JR.
SHOULD HANG THEIR HEADS IN SHAME FOR GOING ALONG WITH FORMER MAYOR'S SCAM.
GRIFTER FORMER MAYOR IS OUT
PROBLEMS FROM HIS DICTATORSHIP REMAIN.
LEO MUST GO.

PAY-TO-PARK: One year into Medford program, revenue falls short of expectations
http://medford.wickedlocal.com/news/20160128/pay-to-park-one-year-into-medford-program-revenue-falls-short-of-expectations
- A year into Medford's pay-to-park program, the Medford Transcript examines the program's revenue shortfall and continued changes.
Of that revenue, Medford
will receive only about $30,000, as the city’s contract with Republic
stipulates it receives 73 percent of gross revenue generated after the
first $975,000 for the first year.
The city will
also receive up to $230,000 in fines that are still owed, in addition
to monthly rental payments from Republic of $25,000, for a total of up
to $560,000.
The city had expected to generate $18 million over 10 years through the program, or $1.8 million annually.

JV RESPONDS to Transcript article:
I utilized it for the first time earlier this week. 25 cents is all they got out of me when we needed to go to the Modern Hardware store. No problem paying in Somerville because at least they have a system that is more fair, but why endorse or support a bad system that the current Administration was totally behind. Stephanie Burke then backtracked during the debates and said it needed to be "tweaked." No, Stephanie, the system needs to be replaced totally by a customer friendly system. A good mayor would be TRANSPARENT and would address the problems on tv at a council meeting. By the way, where's our TV station that we pay for? We could discuss this on the air...if we had transparency
