COMMUNITY MEDIA MEDFORD EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

COMMUNITY MEDIA MEDFORD put in the SOLE proposal to operate the Medford public media center. Mayor McGlynn ignored his own request for proposals and unqualified Mayor Burke hired yet another immature young man, Benjamin Brown, who gave a poor presentation at the first meeting of the Cable Advisory Board, March 22, 2018. Brown told me he came up with the name "Medford Community Media" which, of course, just takes my business name, registered at City Hall, and puts it sideways. Such a genius that Ben Brown, isn't he? Mark Rumley also claims that Ben wrote most of the Indemnification form except for the CORI check, which is a joke. The entire 3-4 pages read like textbook Rumley and viewing Ben Brown's failure to perform what he was hired to do: get decent audio for the school committee and city council, the idea of Benjy being boy genius legal scholar as well is like a bad plot from a poorly filmed movie fiasco from the exiled Dawn Natalia.


Joe Viglione, called by one lawyer "the Avenging Angel of Access TV" shut down TV3 Medford with hard work, courage, and with the community in mind.

What I envision for the Medford community is a space which allows for the creation of content without the fear of being physically assaulted as the previous station would either threaten or actually commit; without the fear of being sued, harassed, stalked at your home or office. What transpired under former Mayor Michael J. McGlynn and transpires through the whims of the current mayor, Stephanie Muccini-Burke, are gangster-like tactics which abuse the public both funding the station and paying these alleged "public servants."

Medford pays for better service, and Medford deserves and will have better, even if it means the incarceration of Stephanie Muccini-Burke, her violent city clerk Edward P. Finn ("He's not MY clerk," Mrs. Burke said to me at LaCascia's Bakery in May of 2017, throwing the unstable and highly temperamental Finn right under the bus,) the vulgar husband of the mayor - Brian S. Burke, the hostile and erratic City Solicitor of Medford, and members of the Medford City Council and Medford School Committee who put cronyism first and public service second.

Years ago long-time Medford City Solicitor Mark E. Rumley said to producer/writer Joe Viglione "No one would do this (the effort to free access,) for himself; you are doing this for the community." Indeed, yet we now have evidence that the person standing in the way of free speech, the architect of censorship in Medford, was none other than Solicitor Rumley, and how unfair is that?
