SENT TO INEFFICIENT ISSUING AUTHORITY
STEPHANIE MUCCINI-BURKE AT 9:25 AM
THIS MORNING
To The Mayor:
1)Where is the posting for the job of Station Manager at Medford Community Media
2)I, Joseph Viglione, created a company, Community Media Medford, and put in the SOLE bid for the access TV station in Medford
3)I,
Joseph Viglione, the most qualified person to be Executive Director in
Medford, if hired in 2004/2005, would have made Medford's access one of
the finest in the United States of America and there would have been
NONE of the problems that we have faced over the past thirteen years,
all caused by both individuals - Mayor McGlynn and Mayor Burke - who
lack the qualifications to be "issuing authority."
4)The
city needs a 501c3 that is professional, not one that does the bidding
of a Mayor McGlynn, and certainly not one that will turn a blind eye to
Mayor Burke's ineffective way of hijacking the funds for Educational and
Governmental access, while denying the public access that they pay for
5)Why am I being so ON POINT about this? Because:
a)the Issuing authority IS the problem with public access in Medford
b)I intend to file an injunction on Mayor Burke and Mark Rumley if they continue their wrongful conduct
for example:
1)the
admission of Mark E. Rumley to me that he instituted the incredibly
anti-First Amendment "CORI CHECK" - making Mr. Rumley the laughingstock
of access television, and making Mr. Rumley a liar vis-a-vis his promise
to Judge Jackson-Thompson (retired) are Exhibits A and B.
2)the
form to recuse oneself of needing a CORI CHECK makes the individual
look like a child rapist. It is disgusting and is the very flower of
the malfeasance - abuse of the access funds to deny the public its free
speech rights - prevalent under Mr. Rumley and Mrs. Burke
3)The malevolent forms will be sent to the new Cable Advisory Board
Mrs.
Burke fears access television; she loathes it. This underhanded way of
doing business denigrates residents and keeps criticism stifled and
limited.
I
warned the city that Mrs. Burke was inept and bungling when it came to
access TV issues. The hiring of Benjamin Brown was a joke, a sick joke
played on the citizens of Medford. He was lazy, only did the work when
this writer exposed the lack of membership, the lack of people following
on Facebook, Ben's lack of courtesy to anyone that he was not beholden
to, Ben's disaster of a "grand opening" that he failed to properly
advertise, catering to Medford insiders like Richard F. Caraviello, John
Falco, Michael Marks, Paul Donato (and the bizarre sex stunt Donato
pulled on Michael Marks, caught on camera, in front of two little
children and a student running the video camera) Mrs. Burke, Ann Marie
Cugno, need I go on?
It was more like a witch's coven or convention rather than the opening of a PUBLIC TV station.
I demand to see the current posting for the position once held (poorly) by Ben Brown
This city needs a passionate citizen who has forgotten more about access TV than anyone reading this will ever learn.
I started in 1979, you know my work, you know my resume, you know that I can get the job done.
It's time that the Mayor started hiring on MERIT, not because she can control the people willing to do her bidding.
All
due respect to Jay Campbell, chairing the advisory committee was a
mistake; you had Ben Brown stumbling through every question "duh, duh,
duh" (it is ON CAMERA as I taped Facebook live) and Mr. Campbell all
over the map, no cohesion, no focus, just rambling because he seems more
interested ALLEGEDLY in promoting his real estate interests than
getting this broken community access fixed. Rumor has it, Mr. Campbell
wants a job at Medford City Hall and is a puppet of Mrs. Burke's.
My
first job as Executive Director will be to address the Issuing
Authority situation, and then the unqualified issuing authority
appointing an unqualified chair to the three person cable TV commission.
All
due respect to G Follett Sumney on the Advisory Board, but after I
interviewed her at the first meeting, her qualifications in access
television were not mentioned. There are hundreds of millions of
filmmakers in the world (I have a movie internationally distributed, a
documentary on a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artist which demanded
sensitive contract negotiations with the artist and with the
distributor, as well as the set up on the Boston Esplanade, filming and
overseeing every detail of the project) but there are few people with
access TV experience spanning thirty nine years.
Yvette
Wilks is the only qualified person on the cable advisory board. We
need two additional members and a vote to strip the mayor of the title
of issuing authority and hand it over to someone in the Administration
who isn't one of Mrs. Burke's robots. If we have to put a new position
together and hire a qualified "issuing authority," so be it.
It
would be interesting to see Mrs. Burke cease her polarizing attitude
and hire Robert M. Penta for that position, a man who attended access TV
meetings, a man who has a vision for access, but why would Mrs. Burke
starte being logical and considerate at this point in "the game."
Obviously
this e mail is a notice that the city is going to face an injunction
for its current ripoff that it is pawning off as access TV
I am demanding the job posting.
Thank you.
Joe Viglione
