APPEAL FORTHCOMING SPR 2019-776
Atty Kimberly M. Scanlon
Assistant City Solicitor
Medford City Hall
85 Geo P Hassett Drive
Medford, MA 02155
RE: SPR 2019-776
Dear Attorney Scanlon:
I thank you for your response.
And
please be advised, I am very happy with your personal efforts. I feel
you are one of the hardest working people at Medford City Hall and that
you are honorable.
I appreciate the letter from former Mayor Michael J. McGlynn dated February 8, 2001 re: Resolution 01-083.
That identifies the problem accurately, doesn't it?
Members
of the public have asked me about the city hall doors, the Ring Road
curbstones, these chairs (those 3 items in the appeal SPR 2019-776,
Medford/Viglione) the missing copper at the housing authority, the
allegedly missing manhole covers at the DPW, the $38,000.00 missing from
Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. as noted in an article in the
Medford Transcript that I have in a Public Records Request to the
Attorney General's office - which has, after 5 years, finally given me
more details but which still needs its own appeal.
What
we see is a pattern of very expensive items that belong to the citizens
of Medford; items which are obscured by time and alleged subterfuge.
Again,
I do not hold you responsible and, actually, I'm quite happy they
appointed you as the public records officer. You and Janice Spencer in
your office I hold in the highest regard.
But,
McGlynn's letter isolates for this journalist the pattern of deceitful
conduct employed by McGlynn and his surrogate, the McGlynn-by-Proxy
Stephanie Muccini-Burke. Rumor is Mrs. Burke allegedly spends more time
shopping at Kohl's than doing any reasonable work at 85 George P.
Hassett Drive, and those allegations come from multiple sources. How
many times has this journalist been "spot on," to quote former Medford
Transcript Editor, formerly my editor, Nell Escobar Coakley. "They
thought you were crazy, Joe, and one by one they came in here saying you
were right." No doubt.
The
original response I received from you, strangely, did not have your
"writer's voice." Actually, it seemed very much like the writings of
the City Solicitor Mark E. Rumley. Where you are always polite in tone
it was snippy, not very forthright, downright mean.
Please
inform Mr. Rumley that if my allegation that he is using your name and
law license to correspond with me, or if he is dictating to the public
records officer what he wants to say and using a go-between, that I will
bring that to the attention of certain agencies in Boston (perhaps
State Ethics Commission or Inspector General or any other agency I deem
qualified to investigate.) I am the person who caught (on camera) Mr.
Rumley jumping up to "object" to my asking a question at the Medford
Housing Authority when I removed Mayor McGlynn's uncle Gene McGillicuddy
with a complaint to then-Governor Deval Patrick; Mr. Rumley was thrown
off the witness stand in Somerville District Court on or about 9/1/16
for besmirching my name in what the judge (Yee) called "irrelevant"
testimony; I have found Mr. Rumley using the taxpayer-funded e mail from
his office on a Catholic church website and have heard allegations that
Mr. Rumley was moonlighting on the citizens of Medford at Somerville
Court on Thursdays as an alleged bill collector for credit card
companies, allegedly. Somerville Court, of course, being the former
place of employment of disgraced magistrate, Robert "Ted" Tomasone. I,
of course, had warned the citizens for years about Mr. Tomasone before
his spectacular fall from grace, someone slipping a note into a file of
one of my cases at the courthouse "Get that nutjob out of here" signed a
"Ballgame Teddy" (Mr. Tomasone was seen in a photo-op with Judge
Maurice Flynn holding Ted Williams' bat.) It was my pleasure to, pro
se, have the cases moved to a more fair environment over at Cambridge
District Court.*
*Good thing for "ballgame Teddy" that the statute of limitations is up, Detective MacKlownski because THAT, is - indeed - WITNESS INTIMIDATION. Maybe Raquel-with-the-vulgar-shoes-and-bad-lipstick can look into it? Maybe not...

My
apologies for the lengthy note of history, but it is important to
identify why these public records requests take so much time and
energy. As stated, I do not hold you responsible as the evidence
indicates there is someone in your office with a history of being
non-compliant. As of 10:19 am this morning my news outlet has One
Million, Three Hundred and Fifty-Two Thousand views. You can read about
the City Solicitor's attacks on two city councilors within the pages of
that outlet. I have transcribed his Valentine's Day attack on
Councilor Michael Marks, talking over Marks, belittling him. Isn't a
city councilor, actually, Mr. Rumley's own client?
Perry
Mason would be shaking his head. With that being said, let's get to
the bottom of the missing items that Medford residents have been, thus
far, cheated out of.
I will be filing a formal appeal and have the documents to do so ready, so expect the appeal today or by tomorrow.
Thanking you again for your excellent service.
Respectfully,
Joe Viglione
