Pat Gordon knows, but nobody else does!
He should be pumping that out daily on Twitter, but the lazy sod doesn't!
"Info@medford-ma.gov" bounces back.
Why is it a 2nd address on the main MCM website?
Incompetent, Lazy Pat Gordon Must Go!
What a mess the video page is...you have to go to the city web page, click on "city council" to find the videos, yet no schedule for the replays!

Re: Massachusetts Public Records Request
Dear Keeper of the Records,
It has come to my attention that the replay of the Medford City Council meeting of January 28, 2020 was not aired. This has been a troublesome occurrence over the years due to poor station management at Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. and under Ben Brown when the station became city-owned and, again, a private "public" access station under former solicitor Mark Rumley.
This is a request under the Massachusetts Public Records Law (M. G. L. Chapter 66, Section 10). I am requesting that I be provided a copy of the following records:
1)I demand the document that contains Mr. Patrick Gordon's Station Log. All honest and responsible station managers keep a log of programming. The log should be for the dates of re-runs of the city council meetings with evidence that the show actually aired.
The City Council page does not have the dates and times of replays available: City Council
2)I demand the document containing the time that the city council meeting is uploaded to the website.
Mr. Gordon's been deficient in posting the videos in a timely manner - the page is pure chaos with citizens who pay a huge
franchise feel going through a big mess of shows, including those of former MCC-TV3 members which have nothing to do with
how the city operates. That Mr. Gordon is allowed to post such a sloppy, incoherent page is the fault of former mayor
Stephanie Muccini-Burke. Mayor Lungo-Koehn should have a new cable advisory committee and rein in Gordon's lack of
effort and lazy way of doing the job he is required to do, a key job in this city
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 journalist with more page views per hour than Mr. Gordon can obtain in weeks, the public interest being great, I respectfully request that you waive the fee.
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.
Kindly respond by e mail
Sincerely,
Joe Viglione
