OSHA violation and Access TV - to State Rep Donato

702,310 @ 7:39 pm

Paul Donato
Spring St
Medford, MA 02155

Hello State Reps Donato, Sean Garballey and Senator Jehlen:

1)Allegations that an employee of the highway department waltzed into his office in sneakers, shorts, looking like a beach bum, is circulating around our city.
With a city clerk half asleep at city council meetings, and two councilors - Adam Knight and Fred Dello Russo Jr. engaging in First Amendment violations- thus far - getting away with the illegal stomping on free speech rights at the city council, it appears that the embattled mayor and her embattled school superintendent just plunge forward no matter how many department heads make their exodus.   This damages the city of Medford

Mrs. Burke is blatant about her vindictive retaliation (now it is Michael Marks and Breanna Lungo Koehn's insurance that Muccini Burke is allegedly after?  This from a former colleague of theirs?) and having teacher's pets.

We see what having a teacher's pet did for a certain varsity coach on or about June 30, 2015, and as the former director of personnel and Superintendent Belson allegedly engaged in a massive cover-up over the affair, well, it does give new meaning to "teacher's pet," and shows exactly why there's no place for favoritism in city government.

What kind of city hall embraces Ed Finn's half-asleep sad sack routine week-after-week on camera. It's like a sick Twilight Zone episode of Laurel and Hardy where the joke is on the residents of this city.  Clerk Finn should be retired, City Solicitor Rumley, embracing the Peter Principle of one rising to the level of his own incompetence, must go, and Superintendent Belson - without question - has outworn his welcome.  A long time ago.

Last night I gave copies of Reading Cable Television's finances for 2015 to certain elected officials and citizens.  Why didn't the board member investigating his own former fellow board members, conflicted Mark Rumley, just give us the financials for MCC  TV3?  He sat on the board.

Rumley can't feign ignorance on the financials and meeting minutes, he's the city lawyer for pity's sake.

As a board member of a radio station in Somerville I can assure you I have been proactive picking up the slack if the board needed additional meeting minutes.  Our meeting minutes are in order ...and it begs the question - why did former board member Mark Rumley not take minutes if he saw his colleagues were (allegedly intentionally)  ignoring such an important duty?

Two points:

a)so much public money flowed through their hands - the city not monitoring them is the fault of McGlynn, Michael J. and his appointed solicitor.

b)the city, which Mr. Rumley has an obligation to protect, was in a unique relationship and co-owned the equipment.  IF Mr. Rumley failed to take meeting minutes when his colleagues failed to do so, how is that benefiting the city Rumley gets paid handsomely to serve?

It's not that difficult.    So why did Judge Jackson-Thompson receive meeting minutes from this resident and, allegedly, not from the city solicitor who was actually on the board of directors?
 
Mr. Donato, you have an obligation to investigate these two items:

1)the meeting minutes and financial records of MCC not delivered to the citizens of Medford as Mr. Rumley promised us in the Medford Transcript, 22 months ago.

2)the allegation against the highway department employee and - if you find the information credible - your office is obligated to file an appropriate complaint i

Last night, May 10th, Councilor Scarpelli, Councilor Falco, Councilor Marks and Councilor Lungo-Koehn received the information on Reading TV.  Why has city hall not presented those four councilors with the Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. financials in similar fashion?

Enough with the deflections and nonsense about the library deed, not when students abuse those library computers, sometimes on a daily basis, in violation of Thatcher Magoun's wishes.

City Hall, Burke and Rumley, again, want it both ways.  Their way, which is selfish, and not the way that the residents want it, which would be public service. Something anathema to them.

Public service.  Either serve the public, or send sad sack Ed Finn packing.

A Class Action suit would be a good start, but Mr. Free Speech Mark Rumley interrupted my speech to the residents in a classless, dilatory and damaging way.

But what do I know?  I've only been involved in radio since 1978 and access TV since 1979.


Respectfully,
