When the dishonest former city solicitor jumped up to "object" at the Housing authority to your editor questioning the mayor's uncle, I pointed at him and said "YOU, sit down."
Like a bad little kindergarten child the city lawyer had to be obedient. It was as classic as when I had him thrown off the witness stand when he was defending a violent stalker with a simple "objection."
YOU CAN FIGHT CITY HALL and you MUST!
That lawyer tried to pass himself off as being separate from the Medford Housing Authority and that the authority was a "separate body politic."
I then contacted two offices of Deval Patrick at Beacon Hill (one of those being Deval's office) and...voila ...McGlynn's little scheme went up in smoke ---could the former mayor be charged with elder abuse for using his sweet old uncle? A very nice old man??? Hopefully, Marian!
My old pal Donato was screaming at me on the phone again "You didn't get to Deval Patrick" and - like - ahem, chill man, of course I did. Donato thought about it and had to swallow his pride...and alleged protection of McGlynn. Indeed I did contact the office of Deval Patrick and within two weeks the mayor's uncle was removed from a conflicted position that gave McGlynn, and his buddy Bob Covelle, and others, way too much power that they did not deserve. THAT - my darlings, is why McGlynn loathes public access TV.
A little sunlight in the McGlynn darkness.

FROM THE MEDFORD PATCH:
(Governor Deval) 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.
