Dear Mr. Rumley and elected officials:

Governor Charlie Baker changed the Public Records Law.   It is enhanced for the first time in 40 years.  This will help us change the city charter, which has been dormant almost that long.

We respectfully request more transparency from City Hall Medford, which runs like some kind of draconian cult so that Ann Marie Cugno can play "the fugitive" and not talk to the press; so that Robert Emmet Skerry - a senior fraud investor...ooops...INVESTIGATOR on a cable TV commission
saying that the commission he's on doesn't have to look at TV3 because "that's a different kind of fraud."   
HE CALLED WHAT TV3 was doing FRAUD but didn't investigate it even though he was on the commission because Bob Skerry called the company, with legal advice from his own cousin, "a different kind of fraud," not to mention feather-her-nest Paulette Van der Kloot turning a blind eye to Roy E. Belson's shenanigans.

Do your job, Mr. Rumley, because those wolves in the hen house get away with it only via permission.  You are the city attorney, don't be derelict in your duty when the comments on the petition to have a transition plan in place for a new superintendent damn Roy Belson and make his defensive posture and campaign to stay as ugly as Bob Covelle's attempt to stay on at Medford Housing.

Have you got  the picture?

NOW TO THE NEW LAW:Under the new law, state agencies will only be able to charge labor fees for requests that take more than four hours, while cities and towns with more than 20,000 residents will only be able to charge labor fees for requests that take more than two hours.

The law also limits the labor fee to $25 per hour, though cities and towns will be able to seek permission from the Supervisor of Records to charge more. And government agencies of all sizes will need permission to charge labor fees to redact documents (unless the redactions are required by law).
HOW WILL PUBLIC RECORDS LAW MAKE GOVT MORE TRANSPARENT

4. Documents from the MBTA Retirement Board, which manages a $1.6 billion pension fund for transit workers, will become public records

 Hey, Jonathan R. Davis, Mr. Bernadette McGlynn - husband of the former Mayor's sister, this means you!!!  Does it include Jack McGlynn, the lobbyist brother of Mayor McGlynn since he worked with the MBTA?  Don't know...

The picture is this: one citizen has worked tirelessly to educate Medford to the public records law, which City Councilor Michael Marks noted at a council meeting when he started utilizing this important tool.   That citizen taught Paul Camuso about open meeting laws, that citizen should be on the city pay roll because my efforts on behalf of this city are far more efficient than both Adam Knight and Fred Dello Russo's "efforts" put together.

The law can be expanded...the good news is that this first step is amazing.  Now we have a better chance of changing the charter, with a more efficient public records law in place.

I respectfully ask that Medford City Hall stop abusing the law and start complying with our requests.
Thus far, I do not believe you have, Mr. Rumley.   This "no document" and "no contracts" game you are playing says loud and clear to the residents YOU AREN'T DOING YOUR JOB.  Make sure that there ARE documents; make sure that each employee HAS A CONTRACT, because if you tell us that Jeanine Femino Camuso has no contract and skirt the law again with buffoonery, it will be a huge red flag to the citizens that what you have called "delusional" (my writings) is not the case.

If a Robert A. Maiocco is hired at City Hall, think of the public records requests on him, and his notorious background at Wells Fargo and beyond.

The public has a right to know what a hack-infested Administration the charlatan mayor has created.

Sincerely and Respectfully

Joe Viglione
