Love Letters to Attorney Scanlon - a Happy Valentine for Cable TV Subscribers

Subject: RE: Public Records Response, old TV 3

Hello Attorney Scanlon,

Thank you for the 5 page response to the public records request.

1)I will most likely be appealing as I find it absurd that Mayor Burke has no records of a public access station she is in control of.  Were it a 501c3 they would have to keep such records (unless a person in authority lets them get away with it.  Know any such individual?)   Looking over the paperwork today.  

Let's see if my strategy, to point out Burke's deficiencies and get to the press about it, results in a new, honest 501c3 to run the place

2)Mr. Rumley abandoning his investigation of the corporation where he was a board member is still a disaster for the ratepayers that Rumley does not care about.   Heck, he can take the $110,000.00 a year or whatever it is home, the rest of us pay up via the cable bill and get nothing in return.

There's no other way to say it, Mark.  You can attempt to denigrate me, call me names, go into your usual histrionics when you and Michael Marks go at it, but at the end of the day, after all your name-calling, the result is the same.

Mark Rumley's lack of action hurts our community.

Joe Viglione's hard work and honest efforts in regards to access television has benefited the community.  The bonus that gives the citizens of Medford extra comfort, the public records requests and open meeting law complaints which identify how inept this current mayor is, and which bring about the solutions that - and this is said with all humility - (solutions that) are by my design.

When I'm Executive Director of the TV station, access will flourish in Medford.  If it means pointing out in public forums how the mayor and the city solicitor have intentionally stood in the way of free speech, so be it.

This is also said humbly, I've forgotten more about access TV than the mayor and the solicitor combined will ever know.  Here is a 1 page indemnification form without the Rumley Mumbo Jumbo in the disgraceful "scarecrow" indemnification form our city hands out to keep the citizens out of access television.    Just sayin...

Respectfully,
 

Joe Viglione
