A Serious Editorial about Medford City Hall 11:32 pm February 15, 2018



MEDFORD CITY HALL
AND HOW PUBLIC ACCESS WILL BETTER SERVE OUR COMMUNITY

AN ESSAY FROM JOE VIGLIONE




       Medford citizens need to pay more attention to detail.

    This is our city, paid for by us, with individuals either elected or appointed to be PUBLIC SERVANTS.

QUESTION:  Did Mark E. Rumley run a legal practice out of Rep Paul Donato's office which had him allegedly representing himself as a bill collector at Somerville District Court on Thursdays?

---the city needs a City Solicitor 24/7, especially for the enormous amount of money paid to Rumley.

---Rumley has to come forward and discuss this allegation at a meeting of the city council.  If he did work for himself "on company time," no matter what a mayor may or may not have allowed our solicitor to do, this writer believes it was unfair and this writer also believes it was SERIOUSLY unethical.

THE NEXT TIME RUMLEY GLARES WITH A MEAN SPIRIT AT SOMEONE OR YELLS AT COUNCILOR MICHAEL MARKS, DEMAND RUMLEY COME CLEAN ON THESE ALLEGATIONS.

DON'T EXPECT THAT COWARD MICHAEL MARKS TO ASK THE TOUGH QUESTIONS; MARKS IS TOO BUSY MAKING A SPECTACLE OUT OF HIMSELF GETTING INTO AN UNSUBSTANTIAL HISSING CONTEST WITH RUMLEY, TWO SHOWBOATERS.
___________________________________
REMEMBER, MICHAEL MARKS WAS ONCE ON THE SIDE OF PAUL A. CAMUSO

SUDDENLY HE'S ACTING ALL RESPECTABLE ON THE COUNCIL AND FEIGNING HE IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ISSUES.

BUT HIS VOTE DOESN'T MATTER, SO ALL BETS ARE OFF.

THIS IS THE CITY YOU PAY SO MUCH MONEY TO, AND THIS IS WHAT YOU GET!


Did Rumley "moonlight" on the city from his office on Spring Street to have a second job DURING THE DAY on Thursdays at Somerville District Court?

If so, is that "upholding the highest ethical standards," as advertised and PROMISED on the city website?

Let's look at the City Ordinances
Sec. 54-32. - Composition.
The mayor shall, in his discretion, determine the complement of the police department which shall not exceed one chief of police, five captains, nine lieutenants, 18 sergeants and such police officers as may be from time to time determined.
(Rev. Ords. 1974, ch. 19, § 1; Ord. No. 466, 5-29-1984)

Sec. 54-33. - Oath.
Before entering upon service each member of the police department shall be sworn to the faithful discharge of the duties of his office.
(Rev. Ords. 1974, ch. 19, § 2)

WHY DO WE NOT HAVE A CURRENT BOOK OF CLAIMS AGAINST THE CITY OF MEDFORD?

Why was a guitar player viciously assaulted by ex-football player Edward P. Finn and the police, rather than uphold the law, DENIED the citizen his civil rights, and then filed a phony case of "witness intimidation" to smear and bully a journalist investigating what is going on in this city.

Why would an outgoing police chief threaten a man because that man spoke at the city council noting a Channel 5 report on the son of the police chief pulled over and not given a field sobriety test or breathalyzer; had his gun, keys and truck taken away from him, and had some relative drive him home.

Do you feel safe in the city of Medford when shenanigans like that go on?  From allegations of a city lawyer moonlighting to a police chief allowing a phony trial to happen at the exact moment in time, contemporaneously, with an MBTA officer named Sacco not allowed to have his gun, his keys or his truck.

What do you think, Medford?
