Office of the Attorney General
Non-Profit Organizations/Public Charities Division
One Ashburton Place
Boston, MA 02108
Dear Office of the Attorney General:
Your
office requested that I keep you apprised of any new information on
Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. There is a new development that you
should be aware of.
After
I obtained REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED in addition to the document signed in Superior Court by a
former station manager to stay away from my home and the gas station
next door, one of the alleged architects of these nuisances exacted on
me for my investigation as a journalist into the bizarre behavior of
Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. decided that he, Harvey A. Alberg,
would retaliate by filing an harassment protection order against this
journalist.
I prevailed over the malicious abuse of process.
What I find deeply troubling is that the city solicitor was engaging in conversation with both Arthur
Alan Deluca and Harvey Alberg at Somerville Court for some length of
time. It was clearly not a "hi and goodbye," but they were deeply
involved in conversation, from what I could see, in the hallways of
Somerville District Court on September 1, 2016.
Before
I offer the new evidence I am requesting that Mayor Stephanie
Muccini-Burke recuse the city solicitor, Mark E. Rumley, from further
investigating the board of directors he was appointed to, and that
outside counsel be brought in to protect Medford cable TV subscribers
from any further
damage.
Mayor
Stephanie Muccini-Burke is so negligent that she doesn't even have a
Cable TV Advisory Commission in our city that I am aware of. I am
CC:ing Robert E. Skerry, a former fraud investigator, and Richard
Giovino, who served on Mayor McGlynn's alleged commission. The former
Mayor, McGlynn, had an interesting way of utilizing boards and
commissions: they spend time and resources giving him advice, McGlynn
seemingly putting his own ideas into motion prior to his parking
commission or cable TV commission reporting to him, their advice
purportedly ignored.
This is important to have on public record. Medford cable TV subscribers are cheated repeatedly.
Heidi
Riccio from the Vocational/Technical school advising the Medford School
Committee that the new TV station would be open in September of 2016 at
the high school (against the advice of Allison Goldsberry, Rev.
Chip Hines and Fred Laskey - the tribunal that decided otherwise - and
why was a priest and a member of the MWRA on the cable tribunal when
Medford has residents who have forgotten more about cable TV than those
individuals, respectfully said, will ever learn?)
Then
the Mayor - Mrs. Burke - clueless as usual, claims it will be open in
October of 2016. Well, it is now November 1 and last month the
Superintendent Roy Belson gave me a tour of the empty room and said it
would be open in January of 2017. So much for transparency and public
access television PAID FOR by cable tv subscribers being able to operate
in this city.
____________________________________________________________________
Now - to the matter of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. clerk Harvey A. Alberg.
Judge
Fitzgerald in Malden District Court on or about October 13, 2016 gave
me permission to file for a criminal harassment claim against Mr.
Alberg. I am awaiting the return of my attorney to discuss the matter
as he has a family emergency and is unavailable. I have a claim of an
assault against the President of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc.
who, in a court of law, went out of his way to come over to my person,
while I was behind the velvet rope, intentionally and maliciously
walking over to me and stomping on my right foot.
Somerville Court advised me last week that they have moved the case to another court.
The
TV3 "president," who allegedly appointed himself by using former board
members Susan Crowley (in the CC above), Tim Pilleri (who was in Los
Angeles purportedly at the time,) former postal employee Brian Mahoney
and former MCC Vice President Paul Gerety as CURRENT board members,
purportedly to seize power at the 501c3.
When
I brought the Brian Mahoney issue to the attention of the City
Solicitor, Solicitor Rumley found the information on Gerety, Crowley and
Tim Pilleri, all in the Rumley Report given to Mayor McGlynn but -
surprisingly - missing the information on Brian Mahoney, the key board
member who acknowledged to me that he wasn't on the board when Pilleri
alleged, under the pains and penalties of perjury, that Mahoney was.
So
why didn't city hall immediately pull the agreement with MCC, and why
didn't the AG's office press to remove the 501c3 status from a board of
directors which: a)kept limited meeting minutes -sometimes none at all,
b)had a new Vice President, Ron Delucia, smirking that he was "only
guilty of sloppy bookkeeping" to the city council of Medford - no
financial records of value, and c)the highly suspicious board found
abusing the court system with 3 instances of anti-SLAPP violations and
terrorizing the community - suing the city, litigating against this
writer and the late Pat Fiorello, all with cable TV subscriber funds.
THE AFFIDAVIT OF HARVEY ALBERG
Which brings us to the new evidence
1)On page 6 of the October 7, 2016 Affidavit of Harvey Alberg "Signed under the penalty of perjury" is this statement:
18.
(Line 7) "This posting was published long after we were cleared of any
wrongdoing at the cable television station and Mr. Viglione knew it."
---What
Mr. Viglione knew was in responses from the Attorney General's office
information was withheld because it might "impede law enforcement."
How
does information not given to the public as it may "impede law
enforcement" become some declaration of being "cleared of any
wrongdoing" ???
Mr.
Alberg has been fast and loose with the truth regarding toxic mold, the
status of volunteer producers cheated by Alberg, Ron Delucia, Frank
Pilleri and their board that was forced out by Mayor Michael J.
McGlynn, and other rants including but not limited to a false address of
625 High Street that Alberg has used for years on the corporate
document rife with a pattern of false information: former board member
Steven Marra proclaiming that his home address was the corporate address
of 5 High Street, Arthur Deluca falsely publishing the name Delucca
(sic) ostensibly so that it could not be found in corporate search
engines, etc. etc. etc. "Cleared of any wrongdoing" ?
But the big question is, this is an affidavit filed with Malden District Court under the pains and penalties of perjury.
When
asked in a court of law (Cambridge District Court" who was paying for
the multiple lawsuits, Francis R. Pilleri, Jr. - the alleged "president"
of the station - the self-appointed president - whispered "we did."
When asked again to give an HONEST answer (the "we did" implied they
were using their own personal monies, not cable TV subscriber monies)
Pilleri had to be honest and he whispered "MCC." Medford Community
Cablevision, Inc. monies were used to sue the city (the station lost;)
to litigate the Dawn Natalia case (Natalia, disgraced, lost;) monies
used in two other cases found to have violated the anti-SLAPP statute
three times.
Cleared
of any wrongdoing? I demand that the Medford Police Department, the
Malden Police Department and the Office of the Attorney General, as well
as Malden District Court, study this affidavit and - if necessary -
press charges against the individual who filed it on October 7.

I
demand the AG's office get the court transcripts of 2 PM October 31,
2016 and see if Alberg's statements to the judge are correct.

2)On
page 8 of the October 7, 2016 Affidavit of Harvey Alberg, signed under
the pains and penalties of perjury, Mr. Alberg declares:
22:(line
3) "I resigned from the Board of Directors. I resigned because I had
neighter the time nor the inclination to defend myself..."
How can this be if his name is still on the Corporate website?
How
can this be if in the October 1, 2013 document from Frank Pilleri to
the City Solicitor that something would "go away" if the Mayor
"cooperated"
a)What
would "go away," the alleged pending charges of racism by the station
with an allegation that the "n" word was used and the minority woman's
life allegedly threatened?
b)Financial matters?
This document, discovered via a public records request and received in January of 2014
hardly looks like people were "cleared" of any wrongdoing?
How
could a board member "resign" - as Alberg claims in an affidavit signed
under the pains and penalties of perjury, if the courts and the AG's
office have not dissolved the corporation?
c)On
October 24, 2016 PM I received an e mail from the public charities
division that, still, information could not be divulged as it could
impede law enforcement.
d)On
October 17, at 1:22 pm, the City Solicitor, Mark E. Rumley, stated "The
City of Medford is not in possession of any records that are responsive
to your public records request of Saturday, October 16, 2016."
My
public records request was specifically written in regards to Harvey
Alberg's claims in his affidavit of October 7, 2016, signed under the
pains and penalties of perjury.
Alberg,
under oath on October 31, 2016, told the judge an outright lie. He
claimed that he approached me in October of 2006 (which he did, when
Paul A. Camuso, then a city councilor, left the council while in session
to chase after me,) Alberg lying to the judge that he wanted to put my
show on the air. Mr. Alberg was one of the individuals keeping my show
OFF the air. Alberg said to me "You hurt a lot of people" in front of
Camuso when they all ganged up on me, Dawn Natalia and the TV3 cronies.
There is a police report I filed ON Paul A. Camuso that night which
clearly contradicts Mr. Alberg's statement to the judge ten years later,
under oath. They were harassing me, not helping me, and Camuso - as
well as Alberg - have a long history of ugly behavior aimed at critics
of TV3.

xi. Skerry confirmed that Joe Viglione resigned his
membership with TV3 Medford on his own accord and has
not been a member since
Thank you.

The AG's office must keep in mind that in Cambridge District Court, Judge Timothy Gailey noted in his findings regarding Frank Pilleri's filing former board members with the office of the Attorney General as if they were current board members: "This assertion of perjury was not proved to have been false."
The AG's office must keep in mind that in Cambridge District Court, Judge Timothy Gailey noted in his findings regarding Frank Pilleri's filing former board members with the office of the Attorney General as if they were current board members: "This assertion of perjury was not proved to have been false."
Frank
Pilleri couldn't prove the assertion of perjury to be false in a court
of law. Frankie Pilleri had his day in court and could NOT prove that
the assertion of perjury to be false.
What
is the conclusion of the Attorney General's office in regards to
Pilleri's filing of a non-profit corporation with allegedly false names
on the board of directors. Should not the non-profit status of the
station have been pulled back in 2005? Why were the authorities,
including the authorities at Medford City Hall, so negligent?

The Affidavit of Harvey Alberg
In Meeting Minutes of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. dated October 18, 2006,
Attorney David P. Skerry, first President of TV3 and by 2006 the station's counsel
said this:
xi. Skerry confirmed that Joe Viglione resigned his
membership with TV3 Medford on his own accord and has
not been a member since
On Page 1 of Harvey Alberg's Affidavit is an obvious lie, under the pains and penalties of perjury
4.
"During my time there Mr. Viglione was a writer and producer of cable
programming. Eventually his relationship with the station soured, and he
was banned for multiple violations of policies and procedures."
This
was said to the court to put the victim, Viglione, in a bad light. Mr.
Viglione resigned when the station was on the verge of shutting down in
2003 and 2004. Resigned. It is there in the meeting minutes as stated
by Attorney David P. Skerry.
I
demand that the division of Public Charities investigate these
statements. I will be sending a copy of the Affidavit via U.S. Mail
along with a copy of this correspondence.

With
all this being stated, I demand that the Office of the Attorney General
and possibly the Malden Police Department, the Medford Police
Department and Malden District Court look at the affidavit of Harvey
Alberg dated October 7, 2016 AND his testimony to the judge on October
31, 2016, and if the police and / or AG's office finds that the board
member of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. did not honestly testify,
that charges be pressed against Harvey Alberg.
As
Judge Fitzgerald has given me the green light to file for an order of
protection against Alberg, these documents will be utilized should I
proceed with my action for protection against Alberg.
I
will be talking to multiple attorneys about this case, but it is the
obligation of the office of public charities to look into this valuable
information regarding the conduct of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc.
Thank you.
