RE: Public Records Request regarding South St./Main St. Medford, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. XXXXX
On January 14, 2020 the Medford Patch published a story on how the Medford City Council is "frustrated"
with Mass. Dot. Here's a direct quote from Councilor George Scarpelli: ""We're waiting on the state. Obviously they've dragged their feet," Scarpelli said. "
https://patch.com/massachusetts/medford/city-council-frustrated-over-inaction-notorious-intersection
First I want to apologize to you, Mr. xxxxx, that I have to come to you for solutions because Medford has one of the most lazy and overpaid city councils in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Councilor Scarpelli, in particular, is all hot air with a poor work ethic, in my opinion, notorious for failing to stop the hazings while chaperoning in Otis Massachusetts, allegedly.
This link can fill you in somewhat:
That being said, because the city council allegedly fails to do the job the voters deserve (at 30K a year per councilor approximately, wouldn't you agree?) I will have to ask you for the information.
This is a request under the Massachusetts Public Records Law, G.L. c. 66 § 10. Specifically this journalist seeks records:
1) pertaining to the public safety issues at Main St. and South St. in the city of Medford, Massachusetts - as noted in the above referenced Medford Patch article: "...an update from state lawmakers and transportation officials about permanent safety solutions at the intersection of Main Street and South Street."
2)any documents regarding MassDOT's intention(s) to work with Medford city government, interoffice memos, e mails, etc.
I seek this from MassDOT’s divisions and departments, including but not limited to the Registry of Motor Vehicles (“RMV”), and other state and local agencies, federal agencies, and private actors.
Again, I apologize to you, Attorney xxxxx, and MassDOT - that we both have to do the heavy lifting for an allegedly crony-infested city council with a bunch of bad actors (no allegedly necessary) that thinks more about blowing kisses to residents in search of votes than doing the job that they were elected to do. You've got Council Vice President Rick Caraviello with a penchant for lying to the police as well as being a big loser in criminal court (1/31/17,) insufferable Adam Knight in severe need of an elocution class as well as one on public speaking, President John Falco who is now talking at the council as fast and as incomprehensible as Mr. Knight, perhaps it is contagious, and Michael Marks purportedly in a severe depression now that a useless city solicitor has exited the building, leaving Marks with no one to bark at and argue with. Isn't a city solicitor the lawyer for councilors? I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. If so, Marks was publicly fighting with his own lawyer, on the government channel!
We can be the adults in the room and show the seven members of the city council how to do their job.
I recognize that you may charge reasonable costs for copies, as well as for personnel time needed to comply with this request, however as a member of the press (51 years now!) with the Medford blog/newsletter well over 1.5 million page views, this is a matter of GREAT public interest. Thus, I request that you waive all fees regarding this important request.
The Public Records Law requires you to provide me with a written response within 10 business days. If you cannot comply with my request, you are statutorily required to provide an explanation in writing. Please send correspondences via e mail to
(two of my addresses)
Sincerely and respectfully,
Joe Viglione
