To Council President and Councilors:
I intend to be "broadcasting" the City Council meeting on Facebook live on April 18, 2017
This new level of transparency that I have personally injected into Medford politics brings the council
to citizens who have chosen to "cut the cord" and utilize the internet to get their news and information.
It is also beneficial to cable subscribers who want to view the council on their tablets or cellular phones.
It is clear that three councilors in particular are terrified of the additional exposure, and that goes beyond the fact that Council President Caraviello and Adam Knight mangle the English language every time they open their conflicted mouths. Their shady way of "representing" a public that they have utter contempt for is duly noted. They are not credible when complaining about a popular medium that the public wants, needs and deserves. Their censorship tactics give great weight to the rumors and allegations whispered about those two councilors, and Mr. Dello Russo, and begs the logical mind to answer a reasonable, rational question: what are they hiding?
Mr. Dello Russo is also against proper use of the Open Meeting Law, claiming that his constituents are "creeped out." Mr. Dello Russo, your constituency (a body of voters in a specified area who elect a representative to a legislative body) consists, as the dictionary notes, to "a body" that might not have need for Facebook live, so your yapping on March 28th was totally irrelevant. In your case, it doesn't mean that body is of the breathing variety. Furthermore, for an undertaker to claim his constituents are "creeped out" is either an understatement, an oxymoron or both.
