Mr. Knight was outvoted; he is cherry-picking what he wants that better serves his own personal paycheck than the needs of the community.
Why doesn't Mr. Knight ask the residents for a pay raise by obtaining 9,000 signatures rather than ramming an undeserved pay raise through with a home rule petition. The citizens only want parity and fairness.
Knight is reportedly seeking higher office. All citizens have to do is look at the Motions, Resolutions filed by Knight and his votes on all other city business. See how Knight votes for or against petitions by citizens.
The facts are all there. Mr. Knight wants to control the conversation with no input from the people paying his bloated 30k or so a year salary, one of the most expensive city councils in the Commonwealth. How does his position in this article help anyone but Adam Knight?

All Mr. Knight does is "tinker" with our rights at the city council when he gets up and walks away from people speaking, when he rips up paper or plays with materials in his drawer at the council. Indeed, the writing here doesn't even sound like Knight when he speaks at the council. The "writer's voice" in this essay is hardly the malarkey we hear week after week after week. Outside interests use Knight's position as a puppet to bully the residents from having a fair chance of reviewing a close to thirty year old charter. Knight's position is illogical in a city which has fewer rights than many cities in America " Why would we tinker with a right that is meant to protect the power of every Medford resident to decide whether to adopt, amend or revise the charter of our community? " No one is tinkering, we are utilizing our legal options that Knight uses for a pay raise for himself, but doesn't want the citizens to use to build a government that we want, not one that is dysfunctional and was forced upon us three decades ago. The difference here is that you know I am writing with my voice, the same voice I speak at the council with. Listen to Knight speak and read this article, and ask Knight who wrote it for him.
