Is the City of Medford a non-profit?
The way the non-profits in Medford are not monitored, take Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. for one example where the city not only held the license to access TV, the city co-owned the equipment, how can citizens get some TRANSPARENCY and understand how the money comes in, how the money is spent, and how to keep an eye on each and every non-profit in Medford.
Is there a list anywhere? of non-profits that are involved in Medford life?Remember what happened to the now defunct West Medford/Hillside Little League and the allegations surrounding a Pop Warner which resulted in Mayor McGlynn running to Cube Smart storage on Commercial street with check in hand... Had McGlynn kept an eye on the situation, would things have gotten that bad? Just look at McGlynn's twisted "meetings" with TV3 at Bocelli's and Regina's outside of the eye of the public with NO meeting minutes kept, yet taxpayers funded a 10K audit and $3900.00 for Judge Jackson-Thompson. Taxpaying residents just weren't allowed to see what they paid for under McGlynn's highly suspicious conduct in those two meetings.

Medford
With recommendations from a retired judge who heard testimony last fall regarding Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. (TV3) squarely putting the decision to pull the plug on the embattled station back in the lap of the city, it looks as if both parties are struggling to find an agreement both can agree on.
Mayor Michael J. McGlynn today confirmed he had met with TV3 Board of Directors President Frank Pilleri on Aug. 14 at Bocelli’s in South Medford and again on Aug. 18 at Pizzeria Regina at Station Landing.
