I am looking into filing charges of retaliation against city hall for its incessant criminal harassment of my person over the past decade.
We are here to serve you and they will not stop our publication, a Medford business they took money from to register; they will not smear me with false charges and hate articles on two pages of the Transcript this week, they will not bully and intimidate residents who stand up to their sleazy, underhanded tactics designed to squelch free speech.
Over my dead body, which is exactly their goal.
Stay tuned

Feb 10 Libelous Roy Belson e Mail
This was Belson's first e mail, on or about Feb 10th after we spoke
at the council on Feb 9. He followed it up with one on Feb 12th, two
days after his school committee meeting and the same day Chief of Staff
Walsh was let go.

Feb 10th initial e mail:
On Tuesday evening (Feb 9th) the City Council allowed a discussion on
the "Bomb Scare" at Medford High School which occurred last week.The
discussion was filled with significant misinformation. I believe that
there are certain individuals who would like to politicize the situation
and present the idea that our response was not consistent with our
protocols and best practice. Statements were made that there was no
public information on the topic for eight days. While Councilors Falco
and Scarpelli argued that the discussion of this issue belonged to the
School Committee,and would be discussed at our Wednesday meeting,
Councilors Lungo-Koehn and Marks assisted by former councilor Penta ,
Joseph Viglione and a few others voiced inflammatory rhetoric designed
to provoke fear among parents and malfeasance toward school officials.
The following facts are important for you to recall as we head into our meeting:
1. At our Monday meeting we provided you and the public with a report
on the situation and a review of our bomb threat protocol.
2. The online Transcript carried the story and our rationale on the next day (Tuesday)
3. We evaluated the threat in conjunction with our public safety team
and communicated with the State. Multiple schools received the same
Robo-Call and it was properly assessed as a low level threat and a hoax.
4.We sheltered in place as the building was checked out by Administration and Police.
5.The day continued without disruption.
6. We called homes at the supper hour because we felt that more real
call pick=ups would happen and because there was no imminent danger.
Every school has multi-hazart emergency plans. We have .enhanced our ID systems and reinforced our security practices.
We discussed our security practices again today with all principals. We
have determined that we will notify parents earlier if a situation
occurs in the future. However, we believe that we should complete our
assessment of the situation first. Also, that we should not encorage
parents to come to the building on an impulsive and random basis. We
must preserve calm and cannot create conditions that could generate
chaotic arrivals at the school. Naturally, this is a policy issue and
the School Committee can consider options.
Evacuation on threats can be more dangerous than shelter in place or lockdown. We will discuss this with you.
It is critical that you consider that the protocols and practices that
we implement are based upon professional guidance and experience.
We will have a very good meeting on Wednesday and we work together to ensure the safety of our students, faculty and staff REB
