Hello Mr. Campbell:
Enclosed is the Indemnification agreement that we should have
Enclosed also is Frank Pilleri's mea culpa to Mark Rumley READ IT
Last night Frank Pilleri, Art DeLuca and Ron DeLucia were at the open meeting, These are part of the violent,
hate-speech station that was removed, shut down, fawning all over Ben Brown, the toxic poison that destroyed free speech rights and physically and emotionally abused many people in our city.
Having those individuals who abused the court system, and lost repeatedly, squandering access TV monies,
to participate is exactly the problem with Medford... How do you remove them when there's an open meeting law?
Quite simple: City Hall writes them a letter that the missing monies have to be accounted for and that they are not welcome until they provide the books. They cheated our city, so they can come in and disrupt everyone's lives again
and call people bad names and post horrible information about your parents, landlord, life partner and show guests?
What are you thinking? Until Mark Rumley, their fellow board member, is honest and continues the investigation that he so conveniently dropped (asking is Mark Rumley allegedly culpable as well for not stopping it or doing proper oversight?) we cannot have those who cheated the access community engaging in access. It is unfair to the rest of us footing the bill and it show FAVORITISM towards the cheats and not the community that deserves access.
Did you ever read Matt Haberstroh's report on Frank Pilleri's gang in Allison Goldsberry's magazine?
That’s right, start new. No elections with this board or this membership.
The mayor should hire an outside consultant to right the ship, re-write bylaws, re-write policies and procedures and throw away the keys until this rat’s hole is fumigated.

Alleged Tewksbury resident Frank Pilleri stomped on my foot in a court of law, and had to stay away from me for 6 months. He allegedly used the "N" word on a former board member, a former station manager (Steve Marra) laughing heartily "A (N Word) is an "N" word a fag is a fag, a spade is a spade...I don't discriminate")
Why were these hateful people given so much time by Ben Brown last night? Because Ben Brown is EXACTLY like the censorship-drenched station managers who were employed by the board of directors at MCC which violated Robert's Rules of Order with impunity.
Steve Bertorelli of TV 3 and Arthur DeLuca using the station scares residents away.
Ben Brown defaming me in front of Paul Gerety saying "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" is reason for Brown's dismissal.
Brown doesn't want me going to the TV station. It's unfair and it is discrimination.
Brown doesn't want me going to the TV station. It's unfair and it is discrimination.
Having the despicable Ron DeLucia who cheated the community, Art Deluca who lied to the Medford Police repeatedly,
Frank Pilleri showing up when they have disgraced themselves, abused multiple citizens from Allison Goldsberry (she wrote about it in the newspaper) - Chrissy Barthelette, Matt Haberstroh, Dr. Wood, Carolyn Rosen, Pat Fiorello, John Byers... that's why there is no access in Medford

Duh!
until Frank Pilleri shows us real books, real accounting, TV3 is NOT WELCOME in our access community
what are you thinking???? Amazing

Medford —
TV3, the public access station in Medford, has been audited, and the results aren’t pretty.
For years the management of TV3 has tried to sweep the fiscal health, community outreach and membership problems under the rug. The vibrancy that is public access across the country is a closed shop in Medford.
Actually a “closed shop” would mean the management of TV3 have the decency to put a “closed” sign on the shop. In fact TV3 gives shopkeepers across America a bad name.
Shopkeepers keep their books well enough to find receipts for simple purchases. Shopkeepers follow acceptable accountants standards. Shopkeepers keep an inventory of what property or equipment they own.
TV3 management does none of this, and they are playing with your money. Nearly $100,000 a year goes to public access in Medford.
The TV3 management’s agenda is clear — to run public access anyway they see fit, and they don’t give hoot of what the members, city councilors, the public at large or the mayor says. But many citizens of Medford know how public access is run in other towns and we are not fooled.
Jaws dropped and an audible “wow” could be heard when, testifying six months ago at a public hearing at Medford City Hall, the Malden public access executive director mentioned he had 200 members! The gasps and shock of the 75 people who were at the hearing to express their collective dismay at how poorly the station was being run were surprised that a public access station could have that many members.
Many at the hearing spoke of the constant bad management, abuse of members and how volatile the situation the station has become. The people at the hearing, and many more, who feared reprisal, have been waiting six months for a report from the judge that we were told would take a month!
In my opinion Medford has never had a true public access station. The mayor should hire a consultant to build a new board from people that understand access. It is not enough that you have particular skill that the board needs to be a board member. The litmus test should be — do understand public access.
Public access has long history that was borne from the responsibility to serve all of the community. Public access puts media in the hands of the disenfranchised and consumers of media to create their own media and it’s constantly seeking those people out.

You miss the point and the boat, if your only thought is — well that’s why we have YouTube. Anyone can point a camera – that’s not public access. And anyone who works professionally in public access and community media understands this simple point.
Public access is about media literacy and education and that should be fully vested and incorporated into the mission of every public access station. Public access gives a voice to every corner of the community and is active and vigilant in shining a light into those corners.
This ridiculous situation has gone on way to long. That the mayor can let this situation run on so long is really out of character, it is time for the mayor to pull the plug. By that I mean to rescind the contract that the city has with TV3.
That’s right, start new. No elections with this board or this membership.
The mayor should hire an outside consultant to right the ship, re-write bylaws, re-write policies and procedures and throw away the keys until this rat’s hole is fumigated.
