John Falco, President
Medford City Council
85 Geo P. Hassett Drive
Medford MA 02155
Dear Council President Falco and Clerk Hurtubise:
This
is a serious letter and I may have to seek documents via public records
request to get a straight answer. Hopefully the council will be
transparent in regard to this matter.
Let's
start with a firm but polite letter to see if we can resolve the
persistent Dello Russo / Caraviello / Knight problem at the Medford City
Council.
If not, we'll take it to the next legal level.
My question is simple:
How
do we sanction or remove a city council for a violation of their oath
of office and / or behavior that is unethical, harms the community and
disgraces the entire council?
When
a George Scarpelli is accused in court documents of using the "F" word
in front of student athletes and allegedly threatening to punch them in
the face, it flies in the face of an oath of office or what behavior is acceptable in society.
When
a Rick Caraviello lies in a police report, presses phony charges in
order to fracture the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and
loses in criminal court, you have a black eye
on the city of Medford.
In any sane society Caraviello would have been charged with a crime or crimes, removed, and sentenced to prison for his unethical conduct, a clear violation
In any sane society Caraviello would have been charged with a crime or crimes, removed, and sentenced to prison for his unethical conduct, a clear violation
of
his oath of office.
The matter will be discussed in Federal court, sooner than later. I was in Boston yesterday working on such matters and more.

When
Adam Knight abuses point of information and, like Frederick N Dello
Russo Jr., fails to file adequate motions and resolutions that matter
during a calendar year, any sane society would address the issues and seek immediate removal of those charlatans.
I
respectfully request you respond to that simple question noted above
and I will initiate contact with interested parties (citizens, lawyers,
etc.) to begin the process of removing bad apples from
the city council when they take 30k or so a year and spit in the faces of the people they took an oath to serve.

I cannot find any remedy in the council rules
http://www.medfordma.org/city-council-2/city-council-rules/
http://www.medfordma.org/city-council-2/city-council-rules/
The city charter is even more vague:
Sec. 54. - Removal of certain officials.
The mayor may remove the head of a department or member of a board by filing a written
statement with the city clerk setting forth in detail the specific reasons therefor,
a copy of which shall be delivered or mailed to the person thus removed, who may make
a written reply, which, if he desires, may be filed with the city clerk; but such
reply shall not affect the action taken unless the mayor so determines. This section
shall not apply to the school committee, or to officials appointed by the governor,
or to assessors if elected by the people.
Frederick N. Dello Russo, Jr.'s apology to Robert M. Penta on May 7, 2019 was too long in coming, and too short in sincerity.
You can find the apology after the 1:46 mark (one hour forty-six minutes in) on the council taping online.
With
48 views as of May 10, 2019, today, I believe the viewings have doubled
since published on Facebook and my very popular blog yesterday.
Mr. Dello Russo's apology appears to be of great public interest.
We
understand that it is in Mr. Dello Russo's DNA to behave poorly in
public, his father having purportedly stuffed smoke bombs in his best
friend's pocket around the year 1957, and lighting them, causing
serious burns to the groin area of his best friend; his grandfather
and uncle sent to prison (see attachment below) - the city of Medford is
stained worldwide with stories of gangsters
and
rogue cops (see the Gerry Clemente book The Cops are Robbers, or the
movie of the week on that crime and more,) and the malfeasance continues
to this day when citizens cannot get
simple answers to where expensive doors have walked off to, or
expensive oak benches in council chambers, or even curbstones on Ring
Road.
Everything is James Bond 007 secrecy within Medford city government and that is absolutely wrong.
You've got Mark E. Rumley lying to a retired judge in Alden Chambers (wish that was under oath!) about freedom of the press, Rumley's actions in direct conflict with his words.
So
the public is kept in the dark, and Rumley's failure to facilitate
programming, the mayor hijacking access TV (what a conflict of interest)
- how can the public get to see the
"elected officials" behaving badly? when a rogue city solicitor is
doing everything in his enormous power to fight the citizens, fight free
speech and freedom of the press, and
if you don't shut up and take it they'll send an ex football player, ex
clerk Ed Finn, to hit you, attempt to shut you up, and file false
criminal charges (Caraviello lost in criminal court, why is he still on
the council?,) they
will intimidate the witness/victim and accuse the victim - falsely -
with witness intimidation, while he is being stalked by an unhinged
woman that Mr. Rumley went on a witness stand to try to help!
(Rumley will get all beet red and act like Donald Trump throwing distractions, but that's exactly what he did until my objection was heard by the court and Rumley was removed for "irrelevant" testimony.)
Rumley's
misdeeds are so many that he's the poster child for what is wrong with
Medford, from the solicitor's erroneous translation of Thatcher Magoun's
restriction (all this public access producer discussed at
the
city council was having public access TV computers at the library,
which is what the library already has, computers, with cameras and other
equipment in a van. See my speeches, plural, to the Medford City
Council
on
this topic,)
Please note: when I have a disagreement with Mr. Rumley in a court of law or with the Secretary of State, Joe Viglione usually wins the argument. Just sayin'... And the solicitor with the thin skin
Please note: when I have a disagreement with Mr. Rumley in a court of law or with the Secretary of State, Joe Viglione usually wins the argument. Just sayin'... And the solicitor with the thin skin
and
the emperor's new clothes (except for the multiple hats, courtesy of
Michael Marks,) we see what a danger Mr. Rumley is to life in the city
of Medford, a clear and present danger, and I can prove it.
While Rumley rants and bullies, I provide evidence.
See the article for more of Rumley's shenanigans and twisting of the truth:
See the article for more of Rumley's shenanigans and twisting of the truth:
ACCESS COMPUTERS AT LIBRARY article, Medford Transcript
A restriction on the use of the Medford Public Library may keep access
television out of the building, thanks to a more than 140-year-old gift.
Educational Purposes
While
building an access studio on the High Street location appears to break
the library’s restriction, there are still questions regarding the
studio’s educational component and how that might affect the deed.
Rumley said it’s true the function of the Medford
Public Library has changed since Magoun’s restriction was placed on the
property 141 years ago. Now, he added, computers and electronic devices
are part of the day-to-day operations and residents use the facility for
purposes other than just borrowing books.
“If
the question is whether access is or is not a violation of an
educational purpose, we’d have to carefully consider it,” Rumley said.
“You have to keep in mind that if we challenge the restriction, there
could be serious consequences because it may mean we could lose the
property. There are still heirs of Thatcher Magoun out there.

I
have reported Mr. Dello Russo, Richard F. Caraviello and Adam Knight to
Neil Osborne's office, which is akin to going to Colonel Klink on the
comedy Hogan's Heroes if you are looking for
relief.
I am NOT being funny. There is no relief.
Mr. Osborne advises you that it goes "up the food chain" to the office of the useless mayor, Stephanie Burke, who lies on the campaign trail and allegedly spends her time at Kohl's shopping rather than doing the people's business.
I said "hi" to her at Wegman's one day, and she acknowledged me - for once - but there

Medford
has no pride. Residents are unaware of how ugly things are - Scarpelli
allegedly threatening physical violence on your kids; Fred Dello Russo
Jr. slamming doors and acting like a jackass in public,
Rick
Caraviello and Adam Knight in desperate need of elocution lessons, and
not only that, brain transplants from actual human beings instead of
whatever alien presence is lurking behind their ugly faces,
and that is not a joke, I am being as serious as a judge.
Mr.
Dello Russo's behavior is a black eye on the community. He is as much
of an embarrassment as Scarpelli, Caraviello and Knight. The Mayor is
invisible, and it just feels like the wishes of Mike McGlynn
are being carried out by his surrogates on the council, in the law office, in the corner office.
I
would like the answer to the question Mr. Falco, Mr. Hurtubise, if we
the people have the power to remove rogue councilors outside of the city
elections, which have been less than honorable under
Edward
P. Finn.
The elections in the city of Medford make the election of Donald Trump with all the Russian help that they could provide him, look more honest.
The elections in the city of Medford make the election of Donald Trump with all the Russian help that they could provide him, look more honest.
Let's be real: funny business went down in the 2015 election, a physical assault by then-city clerk Ed Finn and a stalker (with a 4 year Harassment Prevention Order now on her) lurking around my home
and most likely having broken in to my home (May 31, 2015 before I returned from a convention in New York City.)
A person stating the truth will be attacked by Rumley, harassed by Caraviello, insulted by Adam Knight.
That is NOT how city government is supposed to operate and with every fiber of my being, the victim is seeking the right lawyers and the right reporters to get the story of Caraviello's lies to the police and the phony
trial
in criminal court into the proper venue where Caraviello and his
accomplices can be tried, have their day in court, be convicted and
sentenced to a long prison term.
That is what the victim wants.
So help me God, that is where my energy is being spent at this present time.
I
would like the question answered regarding removing Dello Russo for his
destructive, juvenile behavior at the city council of Medford.
Thank you
Respectfully,
Joe Viglione
I'm not saying that Mr. Knight went to another board meeting, I'm saying that Mr. Knight left an OPEN MEETING to allegedly address how he would vote while being paid $30,000.00 or so a year to participate in the city council meeting, which was in session. By leaving the open meeting to discuss something he was going to inject into the open meeting, in private, violated not only the spirit of AG Maura Healey's assertion that every resident should be able to access and understand the reasoning behind government policy decisions, in my opinion, the secretive nature of Knight's willful act was designed to deceive the public.
The right hand of the city council is doing one thing in open session, 1/7th of that council, Mr. Knight, is doing something deceitfully which will affect the public vote, known only to a few people. How does this constitute an "open meeting" when one of the body can on a whim do something that will have a profound effect on the city, AND on the outcome of the voting?
With this in mind, Mr. Knight clearly violated the entire idea of having a meeting that is truly open to the public. It was in secret and I believe it affected the outcome, to the dismay of many of the citizens of Medford and to the delight of the mayor, who wanted to ram the issue through without full public participation.

3)Second Alleged Violation
Here's a fact on Mr. Rumley's skewed vision of free speech:
Mr. Rumley felt like Medford Community Cablevision, Inc.was operating as if it were in "Havana" - his words to me in his office circa 2006, 2007. Interesting that Mr. Rumley never changed the rules while he was on that board, so when it pleases Mr. Rumley, he invokes his Havana Method of interrupting free speech when it is something Rumley and his colleagues do not want to hear: information from the people paying their salaries.
P.O. Box 2392
Woburn MA 01888
February 25, 2018 to Secretary of State's office:
My
complaint notes: Attorney General Maura Healey states on the OML site:
"Every resident of Massachusetts should be able to access and
understand the reasoning behind the government policy decisions that
affect our lives. My office is working to achieve that goal through fair
and consistent enforcement of the Open Meeting Law, along with robust
educational outreach about the law's requirements."
The persistent wrongful conduct of Knight and Dello Russo is designed
to make residents unable to access and understand policy decisions that
affect our lives.

3)Second Alleged Violation
Frederick
N.Dello Russo, Jr. knew that I was on topic discussing aggregation. He
threatened to gavel and interfere in my discussion
on the topic. This is a stunt regularly pulled by the city council as
well as the mayor when she chairs the school committee (Mayor Burke
pulled a similar gavel blast on October 16, 2017 at a school committee
meeting to stop my free speech on the subject
of something pertaining to the public access station in its tracks.)
So if you are talking about aggregation, and Vice President Dello Russo
doesn't want the information disseminated to the public, Dello Russo
slams the gavel and says you are off topic,
even though you are directly on topic.
They
frequently bully residents with this objectionable maneuver and it is
the antithesis of AG Maura Healey's assertions regarding having
open meetings, open discussion of matters of great PUBLIC INTEREST.
Note that they have a fancy attorney to back up their penchant for thwarting free speech and the public getting a full and clear picture of something that will have serious ramifications for the public after a vote.
The public is blindsided by such actions.

4)In
his Resolution of Issue #2 Mr Rumley claims citizens aren't entitled to
speak! "...even though the Open Meeting Law doesn't require
it. (10, see G.L. c 30A) - Mr. Rumley claims that even though the city
council rules allow for free speech for 10 minutes, that a chair can
shut down a person speaking? This flies in the face of the First
Amendment when citizens are allowed to speak.
Mr.
Rumley wants to control speech. He wants a chair to be able to
interfere in the thought process of each citizen so that the city
can control thought. Sounds like George Orwell's 1984 or Aldous
Huxley's Brave New World. This is the conflicted city solicitor, who
allegedly moonlighted on the citizens bill collecting at Somerville
District Court on Thursdays, allegedly.
Here's a fact on Mr. Rumley's skewed vision of free speech:

is retaliating for losing in court.
5)February 26, 2017 Caraviello
defames me to my attorney; says I need “medical attention” when Caraviello (and
J J McLean) know that I attend a Christian Science church. See e mail below
6)A witness stated to me that on
January 31, 2017 Caraviello bragged at Demet’s Donuts that he was going to put
this victim “away” for a very long time.
Caraviello lost in court later that day.

TO Officer Pellegrino:
There are more than three incidents
of Rick Caraviello harassing me, Joe Viglione, after I defeated the city
council president in a court of law.
Will you protect me from further harassment by Rick Caraviello?
The Medford Police refuse to help me
when I am being harassed. Richard F. Caraviello has engaged in more than
3 instances of harassment but how can I trust the police after the shoddy
investigation of Edward P. Finn (June 16, 2015 when Detective Mackowski failed
to interview two key witnesses (I believe intentionally) and then after I was
charged with Witness Intimidation which, as we know by court documents, was a
lie designed to drain my bank account and label an innocent man a “felon” when
the felon is and was Edward P. Finn who assaulted a senior citizen who was
merely attending a city council meeting.
My lawyer received this garbage from Caraviello attacking my
religion and practicing medicine without a license:
