Dear Lt. Governor Polito:

Did you know that the public in Medford has to jump through hoops for public access television so that Mayor Stephanie Muccini-Burke can rig the system and take the monies designated for the public?

Did you see the "classes" for students but - allegedly - not the public yesterday when you visited?

Some quick points on the lack of access television in the city of Medford, Massachusetts

1)It is clear that 6 members of the Medford City Council are complicit in this outrageous abuse of cable TV subscriber franchise fees -
City Council President Rick Caraviello - who lost in CRIMINAL COURT January 31, 2017, a year ago today; Fred Dello Russo, Jr.
Michael Marks - who was sexually harassed by state Rep Paul J. Donato at the opening party for the access station, October 15, 2017, 
George Scarpelli, Adam Knight and John Falco

2)This writer has a PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST pending to find the total number of members, what outreach the station is performing and why there appears to be no facilitation of programming.

In essence, Mayor Burke is using the access TV monies to fund the government and educational channel while shutting down the free speech rights so that no one can criticize elected officials.

See my speech last night at the council and hear Rick Caraviello blurt out that yesterday they were teaching students access TV and not the general public while the Lt. Governor was in the room.

My speech on how the mayor hijacked access television starts at 1 hour 16 minutes and 35 seconds in.

No-class council "president" Caraviello admits on this video that he saw students being taught access, not non-student citizens.

They did NOT want the conversation to go forward as they are BENEFITING from it - Caraviello, Knight, Scarpelli, Falco, Dello Russo and Michael Marks.

These are not honorable people, the audacity breathtaking - and they all deserve to be investigated by the Commonwealth.

Watch it very carefully and see how our access monies were squandered, our free speech rights stolen.
