NEW YEAR'S EVE
boston ROCK ROYALTY is going to rock the house!

_____________________________________




THANK YOU, GREG!

  I want to thank Joe Viglione for his thoughtful review of my music, and for paying attention. 

    I became a major fan of Joe's when I was twenty when I first saw him, as Count Viglione, climb into the ceiling above the stage at Cantones. He knew then what most musicians never learn; that entertainment is a value proposition. 

    If people are going to pay to see you; they are to be entertained. 

    I've been following his outstanding journalism on FB for years, which reflects that theme. He's done more in the past year to promote my music and getting it played than I have, and I am extremely grateful. Thank you, Joe.

Letter From Andy Pratt

This is a portion of a letter from Andy Pratt to a family member about the man who handled his business affairs in 2004 for Andy's own management company.

Thank you, Andy, for your kind words.


FROM ANDY PRATT to his brother:

This is the first time I have made money on my music, other than minor things, maybe in my whole life, certainly since 1978. Joe knows almost everybody in the music industry, is very smart, and honest. I am very impressed and pleased with his work.
Rock Star Andy Pratt has a song featured in the movie Velvet Goldmine.
He is known internationally.

AVENGING ANNIE BY ANDY PRATT 

"for my poor lover, I cried like a mother for my poor lover...I left and I knew I should...I knew I couldn't do him no good...

i might go back to my floyd, if I think it's the thing to do
he gave up murder and theft right after I left
and you know I still love him too
just like your woman loves you!

She told me about a night at St. Eulalia's in Winchester when they were doing it in a snowbank (????) and she looked up and saw the statue of the Virgin Mary staring down at her...oh well, that's rock and roll...naughty naughty ...all the secrets come out on Medford Information Central

Between the Medford Police, and revealing all the secret sex lives of the Boston rock scene, I'll probably get assassinated tonight onstage.


If so, Brian Burke will throw a party!

What Public Records Requests Say About Mark E. Rumley's Honesty, Work Ethic, and Oath of Office

By  December 31, 2019  
1,506,728 @ 9:38 am
1,506,709 @ 9:15 am


Rumley was rarely forthright with FOIA, the Freedom of Information Act.

In appeals Rumley has lost repeatedly, culminating in the L'Italien Report...where the city lawyer lost to a Pro se Frequent Public Records Filer!

Rumley has a license to practice law, yet some novice repeatedly - and quite successfully -  put a flashlight on Rumley's poor logic and bad decisions.  A Novice!

Rumley being a jerk on the "witness" stand in Somerville District Court when he was hardly a witness.   Removed with a simple "Objection."

You want that putting his fingerprints all over Medford documents?

Remember: Every government document belongs to the public! 

All governmental records are public records. Keep that in mind.

Mark E. Rumley didn't.  Rumley was more like a juvenile playing "hide n' seek" when it came to the truth about Medford...and getting the L'Italien report from him was like pulling teeth.  So much about being FORTHRIGHT!

 I had to pry that report out of his dirty fingernails with the disinfectant provided me by the law.  And you know what?
I'm not even a lawyer - Rumley purportedly is!
________________________________
Mark Rumley should pay "his" salary back to the ratepayers and taxpayers.  In a perfect world Rumley would be charged, tried and convicted for a number of erroneous activities that created lasting damage in the city and seriously wounded Medford - it's residents, businesses, civic groups and visitors.  Rumley is currently a very bad apple in a massive position of power.  Blame McGlynn.

Blame yourselves for not listening to the voice of reason.   A LOT of money was not put where it could best serve the citizens of Medford.
________________________________


For too long residents were just supposed to take Rumley's malarkey and ignore it.  That's the way the long-time city lawyer liked it.

No oversight.

No criticism.

I submit that Mr. Rumley's lack of performance, or  to be more precise, his performance on behalf of city officials and not the city itself, was a dereliction of duty.

Mark Rumley repeatedly failed in his obligations to the residents of Medford who pay him money that they never (personally) agreed to pay him.  The entire process of how government officials get paid and the highly suspicious nature of the election process, McGlynn allegedly using every angle in his tool box to retain power, could only happen with someone on the inside in one of the most powerful positions in city hall.

Crooked Edward P. Finn was a terrible city clerk and a very bad, violent human being.  The ex football player abused his authority and was caught red-handed. 

A police officer - obviously without knowledge of how ugly this city has operated - he looked like a rookie and was most professional - advised me to press charges on Ed Finn.

Let's dig deeper where Mark Rumley can be directly connected to what Judge Jackson-Thompson (retired) considered could be malfeasance.

1)Rumley was appointed to the board of directors of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc.

2)Though the station "only" got 200k of - say - a million dollars annually, 200k going to pay 3 teachers in a VERY inappropriate fashion (Jack Dempsey, king of the silent movie, didn't give a damn about Lavalier microphones OR  putting them on guests...like the fire chief and chief of police...just one case in point.  You want to pay JD Sports Videos when you've already paid him for the footage via the public access station, now THAT's ADDD - Alleged Double-dipper Dempsey!)

This offensive behavior went on under Rumley's watch, and when the public reached "a crescendo," as Rumley stated to me,  there was a phony "election" for January 2009 dangled to the angry masses.  Well, Rumley had no intention of letting the people decide, even though I armed him with evidence that Frank Pilleri had lied to him and the public about said election.  I gave Rumley the ammo and Rumley allowed Pilleri to shut down the election with his (allegedly) fraudulent (as in, not duly elected) board of directors, with that scumbag Ronald Delucia of Ark Insurance, Stoneham pissing away cable TV subscriber funds to maliciously abuse the legal system.   THREE violations of Anti-SLAPP, an angry judge throwing the mayor's cousin off of the case, only to find Rumley, a witness for yours truly, giving legal advice to his pal, the mayor's cousin, to get the lawyer reinstated after he had thoroughly pissed off the court!
_______________________________________
Mark Rumley can burn in hell for all eternity for his unclean hands hurting citizens and standing in the way of over one hundred thousand dollars of your money going south, literally!

Rumley even wrote a flawed "Rumley Report" - which I used in court to win cases with.  But Rumley didn't go far enough in his report, with which he could have slammed the phony board of directors of TV3 (which I intend to do now once the Attorney General's office brings its report to my mailbox.)

This report can be expanded, but you get the drift.

Mark E. Rumley is bad news.  The sooner the stench of his unfortunate conduct is removed from city hall, the better.

'Game changer': Top Democrats say bombshell report shows need for witnesses in Senate impeachment trial

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, then-national security adviser John Bolton and Defense Secretary Mark Esper urged Trump to release the aid, with Bolton saying it was "in America's interest," the report said.

Schumer: NY Times report on Ukraine is freeze is 'game changer


"The New York Times story explains exactly why— Bolton, Mulvaney, Esper and [OMB official Michael] Duffy, the four exact people that the Democrats have wanted to testify as witnesses in the Senate— those are the same people trying to hide behind these rocks," said Neal Katyal on The Beat, about the blocked testimonies and witnesses who have said they wanted direction from the court on whether or not they have to testify. 

"Even in the Republican senate, the senate that his party controls, [the president] is not going to let them testify. He's so afraid of the truth coming out, he is acting guilty as sin," Katyal added.

Strong Interest in Medford School Committee and Questionable Conduct by School Officials

An Open Letter to Principal Downs
Mr. Michael Downs
Principal
(781) 393-2228
https://www.medfordpublicschools.org/schools/andrews-middle-school/

Dr. Marice Edouard-Vincent
Superintendent
489 Winthrop Street
Medford, MA 02155
(781) 393-2101

 Principal Downs and Superintendent:

A lot of unfavorable rumors are flying around regarding wrongful conduct by school officials and/or staff which - if true - could have an adverse impact on the student body. 

 On the school website there is information about bullying?
What if - allegedly - it is the principal of the Andrews and the superintendent (allegedly) DOING the bullying?   We make no judgment, we are merely investigating and asking questions.

 FOIA - the Freedom of Information Act - at its core - is about the fact that All governmental records are public records. 

 You work for the people of Medford and their children.

 A new mayor will chair the inefficient school committee.

 I'm considering a public records request for information on the Andrews Middle School.  

 Sincerely,

 The Editor

Teaching Freedom of Information Act
an essay from Joe Viglione 

All governmental records are public records. Keep that in mind.
I'm just a citizen finding ways to better the community. Readers have seen my victories over the city lawyer, the police chief, even the office of the Attorney General (that was yesterday, after years of respectfully wrangling with them! - and trust me, I've been VERY polite to the people at the AG's office.) WE have fought city hall, and WE have won. And you can continue the fight! Here's to a better life and a better Medford in 2020. https://medfordinformationcentral.blogspot.com/2019/12/freedom-of-information-act-attorney.html

_____________________
Readers have seen OUR victories over the city lawyer, the police chief, even the office of the Attorney General (that was yesterday, after years of respectfully wrangling with them! - and trust me, I've been VERY polite to the people at the AG's office.)   

We have fought city hall, and WE have won.  
___________________________
And you can continue this good work too!
 __________________________________
 

1)Now we're taking the Determination against the AGO yesterday and focusing on key elements so that you, dear members of the public, can utilize my public records formula to protect your kids at an unethical high school or school system (Medford, a very good case in point with two highly suspect superintendents in a row!) 

All governmental records are public records. Keep that in mind.
___________________________________

2)My formula can help you keep the school committee and city council in line, especially when they have their own best interests at heart and not yours.
All governmental records are public records. Keep that in mind. 
_______________________
3)YOU have the power to use the law to protect your children, your life, your community.
All governmental records are public records. Keep that in mind. 
_________________________________
4)But complacency won't work.
All governmental records are public records. Keep that in mind. 
__________________________
Understand that the laws are for YOUR benefit. Lawmakers seem to think they are in an elite class and can make oodles of your money and not work for you.

 _____________________________ 
5)They've got it backwards.  

You can fight city hall, effectively, as I have.
All governmental records are public records. Keep that in mind. 
_________________________
Expose Chief Jack Buckley's lunacy October 1, 2019 at the Medford City Council weaving and bobbing and not being honest with the citizens. 
________________________
When newly elected mayor, then city council vice president Breanna Lungo-Koehn told Chief Buckley that her constituents fear the Medford Police, Buckley went all Trump on us, shame on him, repeating his mantra from his biography on the police website "These are all good men and women." 
_____________________
Ignoring a complaint from the woman who is now his new boss, as voted by the citizens. 
________________________
6)Why am I the person who had to find out that Internal Affairs hadn't updated its website IN YEARS, as an officer informed me. YEARS. 

All governmental records are public records. Keep that in mind.
_______________________
So a public servant like Chief Buckley who needs to be on the ball was negligent, wasn't even looking at how he represents his department to the public. And he wants you to believe his hot air and anti-public sentiment?
______________________
7)Why did I have to be the forthright one and deliver the 64 page L'ITalien report while Buckley, Burke and Rumley LLC were acting like the cowardly lion and trying to hide it from you?
 

All governmental records are public records. Keep that in mind.
They spit in your face and didn't respect you as taxpayers and adults to be able to evaluate on your own. 
_______________________
What is this? Kindergarten with Police Chief Jack Buckley as the teacher? 

Hardly. 
__________________________

8)Buckley works for us, and don't get scared of the three headed monster when police officers bully you - as they've bullied me with lies, false charges and enormous legal bills. 
I'm still standing, and I got the L'Italien report for you, dear readers, and got the police department to update a website that should be focused and precise every single day. 



All governmental records are public records. Keep that in mind.
__________________
That's why we are paying Mr. Buckley and if Buckley continues to be deficient, we lobby the mayor elect to remove him. 

_____________________________
9)YOU have the power, they work for YOU, not for McGlynn Enterprises Worldwide. 

All governmental records are public records. Keep that in mind.
___________________________
10)So here we will inspect the responses to my appeals - directly from the office of the Secretary of State, and we will hold the police department, city hall, the school system, the DPW, the council, school committee etc. etc. etc to their duties and obligations. 

All governmental records are public records. Keep that in mind.
____________________________________
 Read the full pages, study them, take the context of the law seriously, and use it to pry information out of the reprobates who call themselves public servants!
____________________________________________
11)Paulette Van der Kloot, Mea Mustone, Paul Ruseau, Nicole Morell, they work for you - we don't work for them. 

_______________________
They take our money for services that I don't believe they have properly rendered. 
______________________
Like a police website not updated in years. 
_______________________
12)WE the people have the power, and they take our money. 
Let them work for it. 
 _____________________
Use the information I have gathered from the Sec of State's office to benefit you. 
______________________
Study it. 
Employ it. 
_____________________
Here's to a better life and a better Medford in 2020.
