RE: School Committee and embattled Roy E. Belson
Dear Transcript Advertisers:
The
Medford Transcript is not accurately disseminating information on
embattled school superintendent Roy E. Belson. Allegedly the Medford
Transcript editor, Nell Escobar Coakley, has blurred the lines between
news and political propaganda to protect one of her major advertisers,
the city of Medford.
The
critical role the media plays in keeping government honest is absent in
Medford, and when you read nonsense in the weekly paper like "TV3 has
new home at Medford City Hall" on the front page, and the truth is that
the station put a VCR in a closet at city hall because the troubled
station had problems, purportedly, with the landlord at 40 Canal St,
then your advertising dollars are possibly spent in a place where
readers are turned off from the biased reporting.
You
can spend your advertising dollars anywhere you like, even at the
Medford Transcript. You should just know that Nell Escobar Coakley plays
fast and loose with the truth and that Chuck Goodrich. Publisher & Senior VP at GateHouse Media New England and Sean Burke,
President and Group Publisher of GateHouse Media New England have been alerted to her practices and are aware of Escobar Coakley's wrongful conduct.
President and Group Publisher of GateHouse Media New England have been alerted to her practices and are aware of Escobar Coakley's wrongful conduct.
The
TV3 story was about 13 years ago. It took this writer a few weeks if
not a month to get a correction in the newspaper, yet Coakley never
investigated the alleged clash between the long-time president of the
publicly funded non-profit and the 40 Canal Street owner.
A
sex scandal or two with two different male teachers has allegedly been
covered up by superintendent Belson, members of the Medford School
Committee on that body prior to November 3, 2015, Stephanie
Muccini-Burke when she was director of personnel, former Mayor Michael
J. McGlynn and others, with word on the street that the Transcript, your
weekly newspaper, knew in advance of the alleged scandal and refused to
investigate, allegedly, due to Nell Coakley's rumored allegiance to
McGlynn.
Why
did the Malden Observer run with a huge story on River's Edge where
McGlynn, as head of the MVDC (Mystic Valley Development Commission) and
ostensibly Muccini-Burke as well, lost a lawsuit worth about 4 million
dollars? A huge news story with a small blurb in the Medford Transcript
but nothing like what the Observer ran that I could find:
He said the city of Malden is not responsible for paying the settlement; the Commission, which is an independent political body, will pay out of its assets along with whatever help they can convince the commonwealth to support.
Howard said the project was initially realized with the assistance of the state 15 years ago as a way to clean up the area, so the Commission will seek the state’s financial assistance now.INTENTIONAL absence of reporting is just as bad as slanted reporting, and the allegation here is that your advertising dollars are going towards enabling this bad behavior at a critical time when Medford citizens are petitioning alleged "public servants" for information that these elected officials simply refuse to hand over to the public, even after multiple public records requests
The
Medford Transcript's problems are exactly the same as the problems with
city government. No term limits. While the Malden Observer has gone
through over five editors in the same period of time, Nell Escobar
Coakley - like embattled superintendent Belson, is entrenched just like
TV3 was before the racism allegations (Coakley telling this writer that
"TV3" gives her a "headache" - her excuse ostensibly to shield former
Mayor McGlynn from embarrassment as lame as Mayor Burke saying "no
comment" in regards to the alleged firing of her chief-of-staff, or
irresponsible Ann Marie Cugno on the school committee failing to give
the Medford Transcript any information regarding her stance on the
suspicious school superintendent, Roy E. Belson, currently taking so
much heat.
Which
takes us to this week's story on school committee person Paulette Van
der Kloot, one that insults the intelligence of every parent of a
student in the Medford School system.
Van
der Kloot's interview reveals much about her deceptive business
practices on the school committee, which include but are not limited to
being tone-deaf to what her employers, the residents of Medford, want.
Just read this story to see Van der Kloot's dishonesty with the citizens of this city.
Here's
a metaphor for the nonsense Van der Kloot and Cugno are issuing,
enabled by the Alex Ruppenthal article which diminishes the hundreds of
signatures as merely "a group of parents."

A dispute between several Medford School Committee members and a group of parents over Superintendent Roy Belson’s contract ballooned into “something bigger than it ever should have been,” committee member Paulette Van der Kloot said.
____________________________________________________________
Here's the metaphor:
Remember
when Raymond Burr (Perry Mason) passed away, leaving his estate to his
long-time lover, Robert Benevides, yet the wonderful Barbara Hale (Della
Street from Perry Mason) went on national television to declare "He's
Not Gay."
Well,
the Transcript headline, Paulette Van der Kloot's: 'No crisis' over Roy
Belson's future" is equally delusional, and wrong.
The
Nile IS a river in Egypt, but denial, Ms. Van der Kloot, is unbecoming
for a public servant taking public monies and circling the wagons when
the parents of students are ready to storm the castle.
Mr.
Belson is more embattled than TV3 fighting racism allegations; he's got
Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, surrounded by enemy forces today, wiping his
brow and saying "Well, at least I'm not in Roy E. Belson's shoes."
If
advertisers want to burn dollars bills by investing in a newspaper with
an editor sadly lacking in ethics, by all means, waste your money. If
you care about the children and if you care about fair reporting and
not blacklisting residents (Coakley had a nasty note on the bulletin
board in her office to keep a senior citizen allegedly with Alzheimer's
OUT of HER office. Interesting when that now deceased senior citizen
was shown compassion by this writer, Escobar-Coakley insultingly stated
to me that "Alzheimer's patients find one person they will listen to."
That's how sick Escobar Coakley was with a senior citizen bashed by TV3,
and ridiculed by the editor of the Medford Transcript. She's a
vindictive woman who will lash out at the editor of Inside Medford,
calling Allison Goldsberry "conflicted" when Nell Escobar Coakley should
be looking in the mirror.
Nell
Escobar Coakley protected outrageous behavior by ex City Council
President Robert A. Maiocco by never publishing any of his wrongful
conduct at Wells Fargo.
Look at this little gem that you never found because long-time editor Escobar Coakley didn't want the public to see it:
Dingolo et al v. Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC et al
Robert Dingolo and Dianne Dingolo
On
June 1, 2016, another fraud - Medford City Council "president"
Frederick N. Dello Russo, Jr., congratulated Robert A. Maiocco, Jr. for
retiring from Wells Fargo. Was he retiring or was he forced out the way
Mayor Burke's former chief-of-staff Attorney Teresa Walsh was
unceremoniously shown the door. Escobar Coakley was forced to run with
the story when it was this reporter who published the facts 53 minutes
before Mayor Burke even told her own staff that the chief had
"resigned."
The
Robert A. Maiocco, Jr. problem is serious. When the fourth estate, the
print media, doesn't inform the public about the many claims against
Maiocco as a financial adviser, and when that clown is (or was) in
charge, as president of the city council over the city budget, you have a
wolf in the hen house and a complicit news media.
Mr.
Maiocco's niece - Jeanine Femino Camuso - is now looking for a budget
director. The deadline is June 6, this coming Monday. Maiocco, her
uncle, left his job at Wells Fargo on Tuesday, May 31.
Gee,
wouldn't it be quaint if - after Mrs. Paul Camuso's "worldwide search" -
her suspicious uncle with so many complaints on him as a financial
adviser, reportedly not being very honest with his own friend, his
purported good pal at Dingolo Construction (a well respected family in
this city) - gives the job to Uncle Bob, with a free pass from Nell
Escobar Coakley.
Dear advertiser, do you think that is ethical?
Dear advertiser, do you think that is ethical?
Paulette Van der Kloot is offering you rose colored glasses. It is what she wants you to wear.
Van
der Kloot, useless Bob Skerry, run-and-hide Ann Marie Cugno,
egotistical Erin DiBenedetto, Mayor Burke, Roy E. Belson, those
individuals don't give a damn about your kids or public safety.
What
they do is throw mud at the messenger, be it two current city
councilors, a former city councilor, me, Angela Moore, Cheryl Rodriguez -
anyone who dares question these unethical school committee people and
their improper way of doing business. It is how TV3 and Nell Coakley
tormented Pat Fiorello, my now-deceased close friend. They tormented a
senior citizen until he couldn't take it anymore. I saw Pat Fiorello
shaking like a leaf from the abuse he took at the hands of Paul Camuso,
TV3 and Nell Escobar Coakleyl. I witnessed it.
I've
asked Peter Chianca, Chuck Goodrich and Sean Burke to give Escobar
Coakley a lateral move. They did not listen. Now we are asking the
advertisers to demand Gatehouse Media fire Nell Escobar Coakley for a
dereliction of duty. A majority of the school committee and some
members of the council are derelict in their obligations; we can't have a
powerful editor more interested in greed and profits from city hall,
our money, ignoring stories on River's Edge, TV3 and Bob Maiocco, or
allowing a Paulette Van der Kloot puff piece, without telling the other
side of the story.
Why
has the Medford Transcript not alerted the citizens to Bob Maiocco's
misconduct, and is Mr. Maiocco in line for a huge salary at Medford City
Hall? Advertisers need to put Nell Coakley on the spot and demand that
she answer the tough questions. Sadly, all Nell will do is throw mud
at you as she has done to me, on multiple occasions.
Don't
take my word for it. Ask Nell about Dingolo Construction, River's
Edge, TV3 and why she never, ever does an accurate follow-up to a story -
especially if it shines a light on City Hall that city hall doesn't
want.
Ask Nell. See if she runs and hides like school committee person Ann Marie Cugno on steroids
Sincerely,
Joe Viglione
Perry Mason's secret gay life
Even Barbara Hale, one of Raymond's closest confidantes, had trouble
piercing his protective armor. Or, if Raymond did confide in Barbara, he
swore her to secrecy. According to Hale, "He had a great love for
Barbara Stanwyck and for Natalie Wood . . . but he said, 'I was too old
for [Wood], but oh, my gosh, Barbara.' And he said, 'My wife and little
one, that was tragic,' but he said it was 'something I don't talk about
that much.' And that's about as much as we talked about it."
