Dear Councilor Marks:
Remember when Judge Jackson-Thompson (retired) said these words on the GATV (Government-access television) channel in Medford around 2008 -
"I'm here to make sure that this TV station is the best it can be for ourselves and for our children"
Well, it's sad to say that the judge, paid $3900.00, failed in her mission.
Enclosed is the city's response to a public records request regarding free speech at the private access TV facility the mayor has stashed over at the high school, courtesy of ex Mayor Michael J. McGlynn.
Bad enough the city lawyer harasses you, his own alleged client! at the city council!!
At a meeting of the cable advisory board with Patrick Gordon present I asked Mr. Rumley about the CORI waiver form. See Exhibit A, Mr. Rumley's malarkey about embracing free speech, which is required by his oath of office (attached,) Exhibit F.
EXHIBIT A
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.”
In that oath it says something about being "impartial," which he fractured on 2-14-17 when sparring with you, yet again:

What a jerk.
My question is why a Representative of the Commonwealth ...or of Malden and Medford...or both...or all three...didn't say "It's the public's right to speak on political issues" rather than just listen? Paul's still flabbergasted to this day... oh those photo ops on October 15, 2017 at the "grand opening" of the private access station, yet I digress ...as usual.
What a jerk.
Were you, Mr. Marks, required to file a CORI check? Why? Notice how in Exhibit B Mr. Paul Donato, your friend and mine...well, maybe not mine anymore ...states
Now deceptive Mr. Rumley passes the buck and blames the former station manager, Ben Brown, for the CORI WAIVER. The kid couldn't facilitate programming, you telling me that ol' Benjy wrote a CORI waiver that makes an innocent person look like a child rapist? "...thereby eliminating any possibility that the undersigned will have direct and unmonitored contact with children," - it's got your lawyer's....I mean your solicitor's fingerprints all over it, proving the trademark Rumley histrionics to Judge Jackson-Thompson were just that...THEATRICS, and a possible violation of Rumley's oath of office.
____________________________________________________________________________
It's an election season. Here is Medford City Hall's response to my request for what Mr. Rumley promised us: a CORI waiver that a professional, an adult, would put together to SERVE the public, not rip them off.
So Rumley said to me that it was "in flux" at a meeting of the cable advisory committee. Would you buy a used car from Mark Rumley? Why is he the lawyer for the city of Medford with all this evidence on the table? Oh, that's right, because a mayor or two may have swept a sex crime under the rug, allegedly, in order to steal the 2015 election, and the enabler-in-chief, the city lawyer, is either (allegedly) protecting them, or allegedly was in on it.

Read over the usual failure to perform, Medford government less transparent than Sgt. Schultz of Hogan's Heroes "I have no documents, Nothing, I know nothing, I see nothing...I hear nothing...I have no documents...Send Michael Marks to his room and keep his TV show off the air come September and October, I - Stephanie - want the podium.
Why am I doing all the heavy lifting?
