Medford is one of only a handful of Massachusetts communities to join the global campaign.
The City of Medford has joined cities around the world in a pledge to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, and further the city’s commitment to NetZero emissions, by joining the global “Cities Race to Zero” campaign, Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn announced. Ahead of the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference, the Race to Zero campaign aims to bring together a coalition of businesses, investors, cities, and regions working together to create jobs and tackle climate change. To date, Medford is one of only a handful of Massachusetts communities to join the campaign.
“Reducing our greenhouse gas emissions requires planning and policy changes at all levels, but we are committed to this goal. Signing onto this global campaign is just another small step we can take as a city that will have very real and meaningful outcomes. As part of our environmental work we are currently moving forward on or planning actions that fit so many of the Cities Race to Zero campaign’s recommended options that we couldn’t pick just one. While we have already undertaken several projects toward our goal – such as expanding our EV charging stations citywide, working to reduce energy and emissions in city facilities, and increasing our tree canopy - we will continue to work across departments and with the community to make even more progress over the next few years,” said Mayor Lungo-Koehn.
“Medford has been working hard on climate resiliency and reducing our greenhouse gases for many years. Committing to the Cities Race to Zero is a natural extension of our climate work. I’m thrilled that Medford has moved to integrating climate work into everything done throughout the city,” said Alicia Hunt, Director of the Office of Planning, Development, and Sustainability. “The actions we’ve selected specifically for this project include ongoing efforts in the Board of Health, Office of Outreach and Prevention, and in the DPW, in addition to efforts of the Office of Planning, Development and Sustainability. We have a great team here in Medford and our Climate work is noteworthy because of its integration throughout all of our departments rather than reliance on just one person or office.”
Though cities are among the world’s largest emitters of greenhouse gases, accounting for more than 70% of total emissions, mayors and local leaders like Mayor Lungo-Koehn have emerged as global climate leaders. By signing on to the Race to Zero campaign, the City of Medford pledges to recognize and commit to addressing the global climate emergency through inclusive action, adopt a science-based emission reduction target, and plan and begin implementing specific inclusive climate policies.
In committing to the Cities Race to Zero Campaign, the City of Medford committed to the following action steps:
- Create a More Inclusive Society
- Move Toward Resilient and Sustainable Energy Systems
- Advance Toward Zero Waste
- Create Sustainable Food Systems
This month the City of Medford also plans to release an Executive Summary of its new Climate Action and Adaptation Plan that sets 32 strategies across four focus areas: Buildings & Energy, Ecosystems & Natural Environment, Public Health, and Transportation.
--
The Cities Race to Zero, a partnership among C40 Cities, the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM), ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI), United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), CDP, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the World Resources Institute (WRI) aims to mobilize 1,000 cities around a global, zero-carbon COVID-19 recovery.
Medford city services are available to all residents, regardless of economic situation, immigration status, ability, benefit eligibility, or religious affiliation.

Former Trump aide Corey Lewandowski accused of making unwanted, 'vile and disgusting' sexual advances
Lewandowski, who is married and has four children, served as Trump’s first campaign manager early in the 2016 presidential campaign and has been an outspoken Trump loyalist, with frequent appearances on television. He flirted with the idea of running for the U.S. Senate in New Hampshire in 2020, but said he decided against doing so in order to help Trump’s reelection effort. He is the author of the book “Let Trump Be Trump.”
Odom’s account of the Las Vegas event appears to bear some similarities to the one involving Villa.
“Corey was verbally and physically aggressive and forceful. I was fearful for my physical safety.” Odom said in a statement to Politico, adding, “I was also fearful that Corey has the power to destroy and ruin everything my husband and I have been working on in our business, personal and charitable endeavors.”

Trump donor: Corey Lewandowski made unwanted sexual advances...This is a job for
Captain Kevin Faller to HANDLE!
The longtime Trump aide harassed her at a charity event, a major Republican Party contributor alleges.
It is not the first time Lewandowski has been accused of unwanted touching. In late 2017, singer Joy Villa filed a police report alleging the former Trump campaign manager slapped her buttocks during a holiday party at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.
Lewandowski was also charged with battery in 2016 after yanking the arm of a reporter, Michelle Fields, at a Trump event. The charges were later dropped, but Lewandowski claimed the incident never happened before video emerged confirming that it did. Kerry Laidlaw to file a petition to demand the public ignore the facts. Will she start writing love letters to Lewandowski?
Lewandowski, who did not respond to multiple requests for comment, has positioned himself as one of Trump’s closest and most loyal advisers — a role he has leveraged to gain access to top Republican donors and claim influence over the direction of the Republican Party. He was Trump’s first presidential campaign manager in 2016, advised him during the presidency and now is part of the circle of aides advising the former president. His duties included steering a pro-Trump super PAC until Wednesday, when Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich tweeted after the publication of this article that "Trump World" had severed its association with Lewandowski.
"Pam Bondi, the very talented and honorable [former] AG of FL, has our complete faith and confidence in taking over" the super PAC, Budowich's tweet read. "Corey Lewandowski will be going on to other endeavors and we very much want to thank him for his service. He will no longer be associated with Trump World."

To quote the article "Neither Nunley Benjamin nor Durham participated in the investigation." Sounds a little one sided to me.
Joe Viglione responds: Absolutely one sided.
Same EXACT thing with the "investigation" into my complaint on Neil Osborne. The attorney handed the fraud investigation to Neil and he is the one who responded to me.
What a conflict of interest, an attorney sending the victim his own abusive idea on his own abuse of a senior / minority person. I'm filing a complaint with the appropriate authorities.
That's how these things go.
Plus, Breanna is paying 60k a year to ANOTHER law firm (the one that interviewed me) 5 thousand a month to an outside firm. Plus the city solicitor gets paid.
Few citizens know that these shenanigans are going on

On Sept. 1, a Middlesex County grand jury indicted a group of eight men associated with the Rise of the Moors in connection with the standoff. https://www.wcvb.com/article/rise-of-the-moors-members-charged-in-hours-long-standoff-along-interstate-95-in-wakefield-set-to-appear-in-court/37768022#
Three of those men — 31-year-old Steven Perez, a.k.a. "Lucha El Por Libertad," of the Bronx, New York; 29-year-old Aaron Lamont Johnson, a.k.a. Tarriff Sharif Bey, of Detroit; and 27-year-old Aaron J. Jimenez, a.k.a. "Aban El Curraugh," of the Bronx, New York — were arraigned in Woburn Superior Court on Tuesday.
All three men have refused lawyers and are legally representing themselves in court. They made numerous objections from the start of the hearing, including the names listed on the court documents that list the charges they are facing.
The defendants argued that they are not subject to U.S. law since they are descendants of a mythic Moroccan nation that once covered much of the world, including America.

Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn has posted the results of a report generated by an investigator who looked into claims of wage theft and hostile work environment filed by two city department heads, one of whom has since left Medford while the other was placed on administrative leave pending a psychiatric evaluation.
Aleesha Nunley Benjamin left her job as chief financial officer for Medford in July. She has since filed a harassment claim against the city, the mayor, and the mayor’s former chief of staff David Rodrigues with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD).

A Joe Viglione Movie review
#JoeViglioneMedia
Of the 28 James Bond films - including the 1954 Peter Lorre first Casino Royale, the 1967 David Niven Casino Royale which did give us the classic, Academy-Award nominee for 1968 song “The Look of Love,” and 1983’s Never Say Never Again with Sean Connery – no matter how good or bad, each made some kind of an imprint on the consciousness. The Thunder Ball remake, Never Say Never Again, is easily included in the “legitimate” Bond catalog – with MGM assuming the rights in 1997.
So why do the Daniel Craig films just go through this critic like a blur?
Live and Let Die, Tomorrow Never Dies, Die Another Day, No Time to Die, A View to a Kill, License to Kill, the James Bond legacy should be more than 007’s permission to eradicate.
The Billie Eilish Oct 1, 2020 theme song, on YouTube with over forty-four million views, is exquisite. Best Bond theme in awhile despite the rain in Spain falls mainly on the “we were a pair, but I saw you there, too much to bear…” Oh well… https://youtu.be/BboMpayJomw
The opening sequence to NTTD seems longer than the usual
bait and switch routines from previous Bond films, and it drags the way a 1950s
science fiction movie would irritate its young audience waiting for giant ants,
giant people or dinosaurs. As stated above, Billie Eilish's stylish
"No Time to Die" theme works beautifully, but you knew it would. Just
as you knew the cinematography would be top notch. Bond films are always eye candy, and I am
talking about the scenery and the spectacular depth that are the trademark of
Michael J. Wilson (whose father was the first Batman on screen, Lewis Wilson,
born in Massachusetts. I reserve the right to continue the trivia in all my
film reviews.)
Craig was never my
favorite Bond, and the convincing intrigue of the original On Her
Majesty's Secret Service and License to Kill has been lost to the
ages. We had the science fiction Roger Moore sagas, the Pierce Brosnan
cool Remington Steele moments, and then Daniel Craig kind of went Mickey
Spillane on us, more blood and violence than we bargained for.
As an older man Craig actually fits the role now better than his previous outings. Can you really remember elements of Spectre (2015,) Quantum of Solace(2008,) Casino Royale (2006,) Skyfall (2012.) Like string theory, they all blend together. Heck, Sean Connery only had 9 years as bond (well, 21 if you include Never Say Never Again,) twelve for Roger Moore, seven for Pierce Brosnan giving Craig the only actor with fifteen years of Bond in a row. Despite the pandemic pushing this new film, Die Another Day back a year.
That the film reflects the vicious COVID-19 having been made before the plague hit in 2020 (development began in 2016,) it is art reflecting life – though the George Lazenby classic 1969 On Her Majesty’s Secret Service had the same villain, the Telly Savalas Blofeld, doing the same thing, germ warfare. That a model, Lazenby, with Diana Rigg and Telly Savalas playing cat and mouse, made such a spectacular film is its own model of how the Bond films should have proceeded. With Lazenby.
No Time To Die harkens back to the 1969 film with Craig’s Bond telling his love interest Madeline Swaan (Léa Hélène Seydoux-Fornier de Clausonne ) that they have “All the time in the world.” Lazenby’s Bond told that to Diana Rigg and we know what happened in that regard. I don’t mind that this outing is close to three hours, in fact, I believe this to be the best of the five Craig appearances as Bond. Yes, it will easily bring in the billion dollars now required, but we, the audience, want to grow old with Bond. An older Sean Connery or Roger Moore would have made for a more intriguing storyline than just another 75,000 bullets flying through the air or into bodies. That Timothy Dalton and George Lazenby and Pierce Brosnan are still around, as is Daniel Craig, makes the idea of an older, wiser secret agent all the more compelling.
Timothy Dalton’s License to Kill was the Bond on a revenge mission. It, and the Telly Savalas/George Lazenby On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, are that spy vs spy drama, the exciting mental chess match with the snow skis or the elegant mansion that made for a great storyline.
That super producer Michael G. Wilson had to complete the script to License to Kill on his own (due to a writer’s strike in 1989, according to Wikipedia) and that Dalton was scheduled for a third film (disrupted by yet more legality,) denied the world another great pairing. As Wikipedia notes: Dalton's portrayal of Bond was darker and more serious. Dalton pushed for renewed emphasis on the gritty realism of Ian Fleming's novels instead of fantasy plots and humor.
So here, in 2021, an older Daniel Craig delivers a Dalton-ish Bond. I would still rather the older Lazenby, Brosnan and/or Dalton to fill the role, and the performance in No Time To Die kinda proves my point. Craig is Mr. Cool, and the sub text of no one to trust, everyone is suspected of being a double agent and/or traitor, works well here. Bond suffers two concussions in this film, one from Blofeld, the other from a weak villain, Safin, played by Freddie Mercury actor himself Rami Said Malek. Safin is drab, unconvincing and forgettable. Just another megalomaniac carrying a grudge. If Dr. Evil had Mini-Me as his watered down doppelganger, so too Blofeld with Safin. The spoiler is already out there I’m sure, everything blows up, everyone dies, over a billion dollars will flow to Eon Productions and James Bond will Return. But will 007’s name be James?
