Dear MVA NAACP:
Neil Osborne, Diversity Director (and director of exclusion! as in exclusivity,) brings shame upon the NAACP when he turns a blind eye to discrimination in Medford.
I filed some complaints against the Medford City Council with Medford's alleged "Diversity Director," Neil Osborne.
The complaints concerned elder abuse, abuse of senior citizens by the Medford City Council, elder abuse by - specifically - councilor Adam Knight, council VP Frederick N. Dello Russo, Jr., council "president" Richard F. Caraviello and outgoing (Thank God) City Clerk Edward P. Finn
These individuals harbor hatred, and there is no place for that with residents paying huge salaries to alleged "public servants." Did you know that the city council votes for its own pay raise, and does it with impunity?
Mr. Osborne certainly knows it. So why should he defend the abusers? Because it is in HIS best interest to do the bidding of Mayor Stephanie Muccini-Burke, as all her subjects are required to do. All white women in her front office. So much for diversity. Why isn't Mr. Osborne demanding people from all walks of life be part of the mayor's Administration?
So I filed complaints, you can request them of Mr. Osborne, and like Pontius Pilate washing his hands of it,
Mr. Osborne says to me point blank: "You know these complaints go up the food chain."
Wrong statement. Mr. Osborne should be OUTRAGED when a city clerk slugs a gay senior citizen, June 16, 2015, Mr. Osborne should be SCREAMING FROM THE ROOFTOPS when an over 90 year old doctor is harassed while attempting to speak at the city council.
Senior bashing by city councilors, be it against a ninety year old doctor who spends money for posters to explain the tax code at city hall, or a couple of mayoral candidates, or a female veteran (not yet a senior,) or a homosexual political activist, is just plain wrong.
In Medford the political crowd has an "us against them" mentality. They protect their paychecks, not the rights of the citizens, businesses, civic groups. Just look at how ugly the public access station is. I do not see Asians at the access station, I do not see black people at the access station, an openly homosexual person like myself gets bashed in this city, it is appalling.
We can't have a 14th Amendment and discrimination, it is just plain wrong.
Amendment XIV
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
This is a complaint on Neil Osborne, Medford's Diversity Director and Director of Exclusion.
It doesn't matter if this writer is Italian, Venezuelan, Russian, black, white, green...oh, wait a minute, green is the key, isn't it? It's not about diversity, it's about the almighty dollar. That's what it is about.
Neil Osborne has discriminated against me. In fact, I requested of Mr. Neil Osborne to Facebook LIVE a meeting of the Disability Commission two hours in advance. When I got there the chair, Rachel Tannenhaus(who actually served with me on a board of directors of a radio station in Somerville) violated the Open Meeting Law and refused to let me tape Facebook Live.
I filed an Open Meeting Law complaint and Neil Osborne and Rachel Tannenhaus were found in violation of the Open Meeting Law.
And Neil was president of the MVA NAACP for how long? Violating the Open Meeting Law, and he's Diversity Director?
Please!
No one cares. No one gives a damn. The City Lawyer posts his taxpayer funded e mail address on a Catholic church website (until I admonished him; I have retained that offensive post,) the Mayor and her cronies so lax in understanding of the Open Meeting Law (caught the mayor and the school superintendent and their phony "Chapter 74 board" - you guessed it - violating the Open Meeting Law) ...well, there you have it.
Do you have a Public File for letters to the NAACP like radio stations are required to have? if so, please put this e mail in that file or something similar, like post it on the door to the office.
It is my opinion that Mr. Neil Osborne is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Mayor Stephanie M. Burke, LLC.
As are all of her subjects in the Administration of Her Highness.
God save the Queen!
Thank you for listening to this legitimate discrimination complaint by your former president of the MVA NAACP
Joe Viglione
