Mark Rumley said at the Advisory board that he wants to "protect the children" - so why is there reportedly no CORI check for people who rent the high school?
An employee of the Medford Housing Authority, a convicted sex offender, had keys to every single apartment, and the McGlynn-controlled Housing Authority allowed it to happen by deceitfully not CORI checking a sex offender. Even though Mark Rumley called the housing authority "a separate body politic," Mayor McGlynn had his appointments to the board AND his uncle surreptitiously the key vote as the Governor's appointment.
Until Joe Vig called Governor Deval Patrick and had Mayor McGlynn's uncle REMOVED, much to Rumley's chagrin. Rumley jumped up to "object" to my questioning Mayor McGlynn's "uncle Gene" at the "separate body politic" till I shut the city solicitor up. Which is one of the reasons Rumley hates me so much.

It would be absurd to think the Mr. Rumley wasn't aware of the failure to CORI check people in that position.
Where was Mark E. Rumley's concern "for the children" then?
Rumley jumped up to try to squelch my free speech, because allegedly (ahem) Rumley is one of the good old boys who let a sex offender get no CORI at the Medford Housing Authority.

RUMLEY WASN'T SO CONCERNED ABOUT A SEX OFFENDER WHO ALLEGEDLY WORKED FOR A CITY COUNCILOR'S LIMO SERVICE, ALLEGEDLY, WAS HE?
RUMOR HAS IT THAT THE CITY COUNCILOR ALLEGEDLY GOT THE SEX OFFENDER THE JOB AT THE MEDFORD HOUSING AUTHORITY
THEY INTENTIONALLY DIDN'T RUN A CORI CHECK, MR. RUMLEY, AS YOU KNOW.
READ THIS STORY ON BOSTON.COM:
At least one, Sylvia Jean Baumeister, said she made her decision after learning that a maintenance worker had been hired - and given a master key to authority properties - despite having a criminal record.
“I’m very angry and very upset about this,’’ Baumeister said. “Someone has made a huge mistake. It’s going to have to be dealt with.’’
Covelle allowed James J. O’Brien, a close friend of the authority’s operations director, to be hired as a maintenance worker in 2010 without board approval and without obtaining the usual criminal background check, records show.
A recent check by the authority indicated he was a sex offender, according to several board members. http://archive.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2012/05/03/medford_mayor_housing_authority_call_for_resignation_of_housing_chief_robert_covelle/SOLICITOR RUMLEY'S TELLING 'DOUBLE STANDARDS"
so, while PEOPLE RENT MEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL, PURPORTEDLY WITH NO CORI CHECKS,
RUMLEY WAS AT THE CABLE ADVISORY MEETING WITH HIS USUAL MALARKEY STRAIGHT OUT OF HAMLET:
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks" is a line from the c. 1600 play Hamlet by William Shakespeare, where it is spoken by Queen Gertrude in response to the insincere overacting of a character in the play within a play created by Prince Hamlet to prove his uncle's guilt in the murder of his father, the King...The phrase is used in everyday speech to indicate doubt in someone's sincerity (Wikipedia)
To the point, there's a plethora of evidence proving Mark Rumley is beyond insincere when it comes to "protecting the children." Greedy Rumley is more concerned about protecting his pocketbook. Your children - and public access TV - be damned.
Exhibit A - Protecting the Children
Former Medford High School teacher Mark Smith lost his teaching license last year after allegations surfaced he sexually abused a former female student.
*Allegedly, people, there may have been multiple students and allegedly they were not "former" - allegedly
"You were convicted of assault and battery but then on your license you lied," asked Curran.
Smith declined comment.

So much for Rumley "protecting the children."
What was ex teacher Mark Smith's penance for such misconduct that is ON the public record you may ask?
HE GOT TO RETIRE, PROBABLY WITH A NICE PENSION!What was ex teacher Mark Smith's penance for such misconduct that is ON the public record you may ask?
- Mark Smith, Medford High School, 30 years

MEDFORD HIGH EMPLOYEE JENNA TARABELSI CONVICTED OF RAPE FRIDAY THE 13TH, OCT, 2017
two days before the OPENING OF MEDFORD COMMUNITY MEDIA where state rep Paul Donato grabbed the private parts of Michael Marks in front of two little children and the student running the camera.
MARK RUMLEY SHARED AN OFFICE WITH DONATO, SO DONATO WAS NOT ARRESTED FOR THE ALLEGED SEX CRIME IN FRONT OF CHILDREN OCTOBER 15, 2017, TWO DAYS AFTER A MEDFORD TEACHER WAS CONVICTED OF RAPING A 15 YEAR OLD STUDENT
THIS IS WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS ON RUMLEY'S WATCH - a teacher who was allegedly a "political hire" as a favor to Arlington Catholic High School (where Mike McGlynn went to high school; not saying the favor was for McGlynn, only printing it as a notation) Jenna Tarabelsi, with an alleged history of "problems" with young students, gets in Medford High School and is charged and convicted of RAPE while the not-so-protective city solicitor wants to CORI check public access producers, while multiple young boys were allegedly raped by Jenna Tarabelsi, allegedly two 17 year olds along with the 15 year old Tarabelsi was convicted of raping.
Tarabelsi was sentenced to up to 3.5 years in prison and will be required to register as a lifetime sex offender. She plans to appeal the ruling.
https://whdh.com/news/medford-school-counselor-sentenced-to-jail-for-raping-teenage-boy/MARK RUMLEY IS A COLD AND INHUMAN ROBOT who doesn't give a damn about your children, about you, about public access TV. Mark Rumley is a bully, an abuser, with a lengthy history of misconduct:
---allegedly moonlighting on City Hall, as an alleged bill collector at Somerville Court on Thursdays
---investigating TV3, the board of directors that Rumley was once a part of, huge conflict
---dropping the investigation of TV3 that Rumley should have never been involved with in the first place
---giving legal advice to his late brother's best friend after that attorney was thrown off of a case; problem for Rumley is that he was a witness for the other side
---wrote an e mail to an attorney to try to get in between an attorney and his client; every attorney has a right to earn a living, a coward like Rumley has no right attempting to drive a wedge between an attorney and his client
---Rumley - on 9/1/16 - after being thrown off of the witness stand in Somerville Court for being "irrelevant" didn't go back to work for the citizens of Medford. He spent the rest of the afternoon talking to Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. directors, the people he was supposed to be investigating. Rumley stuck around for the entire hearing where the victim got an extension on a harassment protection order
---Rumley and Rick Caraviello were outside Alden chambers at a city council meeting with three police officers attempting to get the police to squelch the free speech of this editor. This editor told Officer Ghilain "A judge gave me permission to be here" with the kind officer noting "And we are in AGREEMENT WITH YOU."
Rumley's face was beet read.
Mark Rumley asked this public access host to make him 2 copies of the Chumley report, a VHS to DVD transfer at Malden Access TV. Rumley never paid me for my DVDs or for my travel to Malden access where E.D. Ron Cox allowed me to make the dubs for the city of Medford. Patrick Gordon may have been employed at Malden TV at this time.
There are lots more incidents where Rumley has embarrassed himself, fighting with Michael Marks at the city councilor like two ninth graders shooting spitballs at each other, what a disgrace.
And then Rumley wants to squelch free speech by having CORI checks for one set of people, public access producers, while many others who have access to the high school do not have to be under such strict control by the city government.
It's about FREE SPEECH. They do NOT want other candidates to have their own shows without investigating them.
At the Cable Advisory Committee 8-23-18 Rumley would "deflect" - the cable advisory board saying that they would have time for candidates without CORI CHECKS
But that wasn't my question. The question was why candidates had to get a CORI if they want their own TV show.
Just ask Michael Marks if he had to have a CORI for his own show to see how they don't tell the truth at the meetings, how they twist things, how they lie.

Mark Rumley's actions are almost ALWAYS in direct conflict with Mark Rumley's words. But who will you believe, cable subscriber being continually ripped off by city hall, the facts, the evidence, or Rumley's exhaustive and tiresome denials?
SEX OFFENDER AT HOUSING AUTHORITY, SEX OFFENDER AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
MARK RUMLEY DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH!
A mayor is NOT supposed to operate a housing authority.. (the joke is on you senior citizen) ...but with the Mayor's uncle appointed by Governor Deval Patrick, McGlynn DID control the Medford Housing Authority in an unethical and ultra sleazy way.
Until a certain TV host made a tape and asked a question:
"(Deval) Patrick asked Covelle to resign through a letter from Aaron Gornstein, his housing undersecretary, on Thursday, citing the findings of the federal audit. Patrick also replaced his appointment to the authority's commission Eugene McGillicuddy with Sean Caron. McGillicuddy is related to McGlynn through marriage, he said during a housing meeting in April after being asked about his relationship to McGlynn by Medford resident and videographer Joseph Viglione."
That was April/May 2012
When I set up the videocamera Mark E. Rumley, city solicitor, who stated that the Medford Housing Authority is a "separate body politic" JUMPED UP as if he were in a court of law to try to object to my free speech.
It was a reflex action by Rumley showing his true, duplicitous nature. He was attempting to squelch my free speech knowing I was going to ask Robert Covelle (and Uncle Gene McGillicuddy, the mayor's uncle) questions that could put Mayor Michael J. McGlynn in jeopardy.
One of the news people, either from the Medford Transcript or the Patch asked "Why are you asking about the family?" My reply: "Just watch."
______________________________________________________________
Mark Rumley jumped up as if to object, I pointed at him and said "YOU, sit down," and Rumley had to comply.
(On September 1, 2016 Mark Rumley was throwing proverbial rocks at me from the witness stand; petty vindictive individual that he is. My "objection" to the judge had Rumley removed for being "irrelevant."
A judge in a court of law found Mark E. Rumley "irrelevant" after Joe Viglione's "objection." Savor that.
I repeat: savor that.
__________________________________________________________________________________
AFTER RUMLEY ATTEMPTED TO SQUELCH MY FREE SPEECH AND SAT DOWN:
I asked the question. Uncle Gene, former board member of Medford Community Cablevision, TV3, admitted he was the "Mayor's father's sister's husband!" He truly was "Uncle Gene" and there he was appointed by Governor Deval Patrick (wanna bet it was McGlynn's friend Lt. Governor Tim Murray who blindsided Deval Patrick? purportedly...allegedly) So I went to Deval Patrick via phone and --- a couple of weeks later Uncle Gene was removed.
Paul Donato screamed at me on the phone "You didn't go to Deval Patrick." Oh really? A few minutes later Donato realized that I had, and that my removing Uncle Gene from the board led to Bob Covelle having to resign.
Look, there were a LOT of other factors at play here, the Globe and other media - BUT the key is this:
Crooked executive director Bob Covelle would have stayed in place despite the media scrutiny and the failure to CORI check his pal.
It was a videographer and a question at the right time that removed Bob Covelle.
The media only goes so far. This writer goes the extra mile. And gets results.

When TV3 Censored the Politicians, THEY GOT OUTRAGED
Paul Donato said that political speech is "the most protected right," but Mr. Donato wasn't outraged for his constituents, Donato was angry at Arthur Alan Deluca, a board member of MCC TV3 who had allegedly interfered in political speech during an election cycle.
Then-City Councilor Stephanie Muccini-Burke said of Deluca and TV3 "They have broken the spirit of access."
If Deluca, Frank Pilleri and the string of awful station managers had "broken the spirit of access," then Muccini-Burke and Mark Rumley have "trumped" the disreputable actions of TV3 and are WORSE than Frank Pilleri's untrustworthy crew.
Muccini-Burke, INTENTIONALLY installing an inexperienced "cable advisory board" has demolished free speech and access TV.
Jay Campbell, Yvette Follett-Sumney, Gabriel Wilks (the names are interchangeable, all of them are doing a terrible job for the community, but a GREAT job for a dishonest mayor) are part of the same repeating pattern,
remember McGlynn's tribunal - a Catholic priest (WHAT?) Rev George "Chip" Hines (movie reviewer on the Catholic network,) Fred Laskey from the MWRA, Allison Goldsberry - paid as a teacher from the cable TV monies, big conflict there,) ...and when I pointed out the lack of qualifications people got angry with me, only to come back to me as usual and say "You were right."
Didn't Michael Marks recently say (April Cable Advisory meeting) "Joe Vig is right."

Is there an echo in here, Michael?
And echoes of Mayor McGlynn's CABLE TV BOARD with a dead man on it for years and years.
Think about that. Along with Ron Giovino and Bob Skerry the mayor, Mike McGlynn, had Ray McDonald (deceased) on the Cable TV Board.
That the late Ray McDonald did a better job than Jay Campbell, Yvette Wilks and Gabby Follett-Sumney is as novel as the late Mel Carnahan defeating Republican John Ashcroft
Praising Missouri for being a "compassionate state," Republican John Ashcroft conceded the Senate election to the late Gov. Mel Carnahan, paving the way for his widow to assume the seat. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tearful-ashcroft-concedes/A dead man on Mayor McGlynn's CABLE TV COMMISSION did a better job than McGlynn's "tribunal" of Chip, Fred and Allison, and Muccini-Burke's "tribunal" of
Gabba Gabba Hey Hey Gabby, Yvette and Jay!
It's a three ring circus that never ends. And the cable ratepayers get ripped off.
Rumley and Burke are eradicating the First Amendment in Medford with a relish and glee that is evidence of the franchise fee cable subscribers pay being used in an unethical and self-serving manner by city government
____________________________________________________________________
But what do I know? Having started in access TV in 1979 and radio the year before that (1978) my goal to help the community with community media is an honest one.
The same can't be said for a city lawyer, Mark E. Rumley, who allegedly skipped out on city hall on Thursdays to collect bills for credit card companies in the same courthouse where Ted Tomason, clerk, had to resign in disgrace last September.

Rumley Squelching Free Speech in Medford
Listen to more nonsense dripping from the forked tongue of Mark E. Rumley, this time to a retired judge:
City Solicitor Mark E. Rumley / Medford Daily Mercury on or about Nov. 16, 2008 (quoted from the 2nd Judge Jackson-Thompson hearing) saying:
“The one sentiment that I have heard that I take great exception to is that the city is trying to limit speech,” said Rumley. “The notion the city would censor or squelch free speech is baseless and as city solicitor I would find any such effort repugnant.”
Mark E. Rumley squelches free speech.
A CORI check for people who want to do access television.
What an idiot.
Now Rumley, the village idiot, has changed his tune after these writings exposed Rumley's fraudulent position.
Now it's the "possibility of unsupervised contact with children" by a solicitor who did NOTHING to protect the children from Jenna Tarabelsi, convicted rapist.
Demarest v. Athol/Orange Community Television, 188 F. Supp. 2d 82 (D. Mass. 2002)
U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts - 188 F. Supp. 2d 82 (D. Mass. 2002)
February 28, 2002
I. INTRODUCTION
The plaintiffs Patricia Demarest ("Demarest") and Vicki Dunn ("Dunn") (together, "plaintiffs") produced a show called "Think Tank 2000," which aired on a local public access cable television station, Athol *84Orange Television, Inc.[1] Think Tank 2000 concerned itself with issues of local concern, and some of its broadcasts focused on the behavior of local officials in Athol, Massachusetts. In particular, Demarest criticized one local official as having a conflict of interest, and camped outside another local official's home, broadcasting a segment in which she accused him of using his position to get special treatment. When these officials complained to defendants, AOTV suspended Demarest for thirty days from using AOTV facilities and revised its Policies and Procedures Manual.
