Part 1: Freedom of Information Act: Attorney General's Office, Medford Police, Medford School System, Medford City Hall, DPW etc

1,505,055 @ 10:59 am  12/28/19

This is part 1 of a series.  
Citizens have the power, they just don't think they have that power.  Citizens get bullied by court clerks, city solicitors, mayors, selectmen, aldermen, dishonest city councilors in Medford like Rick Caraviello who worked with unethical police officers to try to stomp on the very First Amendment rights their oath DEMANDS that they uphold.

District Attorney Marian Ryan can pontificate all she wants, yet I have evidence that Ryan is a very, very bad person. Thugs like Ryan infiltrate our legal system and hold themselves to the lowest of standards.  They hate me.  They attack a guy like me with false charges because they are terrified of the Sunlight Laws and see that I am a huge proponent of working the sunlight laws to inform citizens of the peoples' power. 

THE PRESUMPTION
IN THE LAW, THE PUBLIC RECORDS LAW
IS THAT ALL GOVERNMENTAL RECORDS ARE PUBLIC RECORDS.

THIS IS ANATHEMA TO MARK E. RUMLEY
FORMER MAYORS MCGLYNN AND BURKE
CHIEF OF POLICE BUCKLEY
INDIVIDUALS WHOSE OATH IS TO UPHOLD
THE LAW, NOT RUN LIKE COWARDS FROM THE LAW 


You learn by doing, Mr. and Ms. Citizen.

This series takes pertinent parts of the Determination by the Secretary of State's office's Public Records Division and highlights key legal rules and phrases so that myself - and readers - people who, like me, are not lawyers, can navigate FOIA - the Freedom of Information Act, so that we can hold school superintendents and city solicitors to their oath of office.

Here's my formula - and you can modify it, create a new list of ingredients for quicker and more precise efficacy or simply to fit your style of writing and doing things in an organized and efficient manner.

__________________________________
1)Put in a Public Records Request for the oath of office of any government official you are interested in scrutinizing.

2)Look at past opinions, losses, victories - be they in court or during election cycles, of city lawyers or government officials.

For example - if investigating a Mark E. Rumley, go to court houses and see what cases Rumley has litigated - as offense or defense. 

If a Rumley gets thrown off of a witness stand attempting to defend a violent stalker, it's a permanent black mark on his record.  It shows poor judgment and erratic thinking.

If a Mark E. Rumley attacks a city councilor verbally, or makes faces at residents he is supposed to be fair and honest with, get photos or videos whenever possible.

These are public servants.  If they want to act like little governors, throw the bad, rotting apples out of office.  Ex dirty clerk Ed Finn is a prime example of a slimy individual taking too much money and violating the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The Patch Looks Back on 2019 in Medford

1,505,046 @ 10:44 am

As much as we'd love to go back over 2019,  Medford Information Central is too busy looking ahead at the school system, the police department, public access television, the DPW, and the additions to the city council and school committee.

Breanna Lungo-Koehn Is Medford's Next Mayor

MEDFORD, MA — Medford elected a new mayor Tuesday, as longtime city councilor Breanna Lungo-Koehn unseated incumbent Stephanie Muccini Burke. The race came down to a difference of 652 votes, with... Read more

What a Mess Edouard-Vincent has Made of the School System... DISCUSSION

1,504,874@2:24 am 12/28/19
1,504,556 @ 8:32 pm
106 since 7 pm - 92 minutes, 106 page views
on a weekend when people are out of town, no less!
Thank you, dear readers.


Lots of topics...back to the school malarkey now

RESPONSE TO PERSON ON FACEBOOK:

JV: ...have heard about TWO alleged walkouts from the school system. From what I understand the Andrews School matter was unfair to the teacher and was, purportedly, swept under the rug by the superintendent. 

Also hearing the the Medford School Committee - which includes Mea Mustone, Paul Ruseau and Kathy Kreatz of the alleged "Medford Revolution" not doing their job. Isn't the Medford Revolution about "transparency?" 

My good friend Mea started off like Ed Markey when he was a newbie congressman...with principles. Mea and Ed these days give paw, roll over and beg. So much for the "revolution." Now I like all three of them *Mea, Paul and Kathy - as people, but we're not talking about them as people, we are talking about the safety of the kids. 

Their boss, Muccini-Burke, is now exiting. 

The hateful letter they wrote about Breanna in the Transcript is a bargaining chip Breanna can use when they get out of line. 

Why did Mayor Stephanie NOT have an Executive Session and why are all these rumors flying? 

Andrews School? That is my next public records request. Superintendent Marice Edouard-Vincent's public records office has failed to answer my request on the other "walkout" - we'd like to know 

a)Who walked the person out and 

b)Why was that person allegedly frog-marched out of the high school. 

There are allegations of no CORI check AND allegedly other improprieties (as in - possibly $$$$$...allegedly) Anyone with information can write to informationcentral2@gmail.com Use a fictitious name if you like, we will look into it - time permitting.

______________________________

Want some more?


L.M. asks me...

JV Response: Like...which dirt - allegations at DPW, Police Department, school system, we all know how ugly McGlynn made the public access situation - which is MILLIONS of dollars, not hundreds of dollars, not hundreds of thousands of dollars, but Millions of dollars...West Medford Hillside Little League, Pop Warner, the citizens are clueless as to how deep down Alice in Wonderland's rabbit hole the alleged malfeasance goes. 

And Malfeasance was the question asked by retired judge Marie O. Jackson-Thompson when she was paid $3900.00 to "investigate" TV3 Medford, only to have your (allegedly outgoing) City Solicitor tell me he and the judge were "faxing" the report back and forth. So ...Rumley had to APPROVE what the judge wrote for public consumption, allegedly? Really? I thought we paid her $3900.00 of taxpayer money (not cable subscriber monies) for her opinion? She got burned, and so did we. McGlynn just wanted Judge Marie for her good reputation, and then he met with TV3 secretly at Bocelli's and Regina Pizza, then told his pal at the Medford Transcript to put it out there to slap the cable TV subscribers in the face. 


Ever hear the one about former mayor MM on the hardline at Bocelli's with former AG MC? 

No? It's a doozy!

Joe Viglione for Station Manager of Community Media Medford "It's a New Dawn" TM

1,504,415 @ 6:21 PM
40,990 PAST MONTH!

It's a New Dawn

That's our battle cry



In 2005 I applied for the job of TV3 station manager. 
____________________
Had they hired me we would have one of the most "fabulous" access television stations in the country. 
_____________________
It's a service industry and Medford didn't know that. 
____________________
Then I put in the sole proposal to McGlynn to run the access station. Problem was McGlynn didn't want access, and was terrified at having a professional there facilitating local programming and free speech. 
___________________
It's 2020, I have forty years of experience. 
_______
And 
______
I'm a fighter.
___________________
I will establish real access television and radio in Medford.

In the early 1970s I met Alfred Hitchcock.

My first interview was the Maysles Brothers at the Charles Theater at a open-room "round table."  It was published in the school newspaper, where I was Features editor, and in my own magazine, Varulven.


My bass player back in the 70s took me to the offices of the Maysles Brothers to see rare Beatles and Stones footage.  His sister was an exec for the famed directors.

I have a number of new films I'm working on...they are inventive, compelling and exciting.

Because I am GENIUS!

Smile!

In all seriousness: I'm very impressed with the numbers on the blog today.  It's post-Christmas and people are traveling and returning gifts and whatever.  You can sense the calm after the storm in the traffic outside  - everything is less intense, yet we have  6/10ths of a thousand page views on this weekend opening night...wow!

A New Access Station for Medford - 2020 - A Joe Viglione Essay

1,504,318 @ 5:47 pm

In 2005 I applied for the job of station manager of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc.

In 2019, fourteen years later, the Office of the Secretary of State has ordered the Office of the Attorney General to hand over the documents regarding the now shuttered TV3, the ever dissolving corporation investigated by a retired judge, audited by accountants...the station that flunked out in a report by their own board member, Mark E. Rumley, with questions about financial records unethical individuals who called themselves "money managers" refused to hand over to the public.
 _________________________________

Had they hired Joe Viglione in 2005 the station would be amazing today...

7 failed managers, what the heck?

1)Steve Clooney and Alex - allegedly frog-marched out of the station, the station padlocked allegedly at 40 Canal Street

2)Steve Marra - Bigot, racist, homophobe, smeared his phony religion over every member - just a total slob with poor hygiene and stacks of Dunkin Donuts and Pizza refuse in his "office.  

3)Jason Salzarulo, he got the job that a professional applied for.  Jason, allegedly, ran out of the room sobbing that he couldn't put a tripod together.

Good work, Frankie Fabulous.  NOT!

Harvey Alberg and Ron Delucia - did you see the show where they had staffers doing the production, the audio went south, the video went black, and you could hear the phony funny managers glug glug glug gasping for air.

Hey, you idiots hired the staff...with our money.


4)THE DEVIL INCARNATE
Then the anti-christ herself, Dawn Natalia.
What a creepy piece of work.  At least Jason was a good guy, he just didn't know what the (bleep) he was doing.


The witch from Foster Rhode Island screwed up access television so badly that a dozen years later it still hasn't recovered - even AFTER I pulled the reigns of power away from Deluca, Delucia, Pilleri, Alberg and McGlynn.

There was fraudulent Natalia in Superior Court using your ratepayer funds to sue an award-winning access producer she loathed.  Why?
Because Natalia was jealous. Seething with envy that someone doing access dating back to 1979 was pointing out her flaws.

Let's grade Natalia's films after she hijacked the city's resources....they sucked.   

Ed Wood was a whack job, but at least he knew the brilliance of Bela Lugosi, and the film about him has made him Hollywood LEGEND in a way Mr. "Don't Call Me Bill" Wood could never have achieved on his own.

Natalia's abuse of our cameras and resources resulted in BORING HARD TO WATCH NONDESCRIPT GARBAGE ...and, here's the worst part of it - she took advantage of the children and the seniors of Medford for her enormous ego and her sad lack of talent.

This, of course, is coming from an established, professional film critic who has published reviews since 1969.   We mopped the courtroom floor up with Natalia and her hubby and the TV3 gang who with all the public money, all their lack of intelligence, all their gang mentality, lost to one man with a vision, with guts, with integrity and with the spirit of access flowing throw his entire mind, body and soul.


So here we are in 2020.  My vision will create a community center for people from all walks of life.


5)ALFRED E NEWMAN
Dawn's protege, a gap-toothed freak of nature spent his time working for an airline with a city councilor's wife, and lots of time stalking.  The village idiot was described by the city lawyer to my attorney as "a hothead."  

And that's what the Pilleri gang put in at the TV station, and Mayor McGlynn pranced around in a Comcast funded video with the reprobate.


That's your money cable TV subscribers!

800k approximately in the General Fund

200k to three teachers at the high school
200k annually to the fraudulent crew that refused to tell ratepayers and taxpayers how the money was actually spent.

What Station Manager Alfred E. Newman has on his legacy is he's the manager who cost Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. its license to operate in the city of Medford.

__________________________________
6)Ben Brown

Then we get failed mayor and public disgrace Stephanie Muccini-Burke failing to take her exam on the Open Meeting Law - you can thank me for forcing the witch to take it - and failing to be upfront with the Chapter 74 board, which was actually the Cable TV Commission, but the commissioners on it didn't even know what to call it, or that it was a Chapter 74 board. 


Well, I caught Stephanie and Roy Belson with their pants down.  Sheesh, bad station managers, creepy politicians, an ultra-creepy phony "board of directors," and here we are about seventeen years after I told Rumley and Diane McLeod about the things going on at 40 Canal Street
_____________________________________
Yours truly WARNED the Medford City Council not to let Idiot #6, Benjamin Brown, NEAR the city council equipment.  Well, as usual, I was right.

Ben hightailed it to MGM in the dark of night and the city council was caught with its pants down in regards to the government channel.

_____________________________________
Idiot #7  Patrick Gordon

I mean I didn't know that cloning was viable in 2019 but they found a Ben Brown clone in Patrick Gordon which only means Muccini-Burke and McGlynn gave the two losers their marching orders and rather than do their job they complied.

And here you thought Prostitution Illegal in the State of Massachusettttttttts!

Ben and Pat - the Two Prostitutes, using the old TV3 attorney's purse, lipstick and high heels to hawk their wares on the street corner but do NOTHING for access television or the community...just like Dawn and Steve and Steve before them.

We've had enough.

Network indeed

McGlynn wanted the ratepayer $$$ to pay for city services and loathes free speech - and after McGlynn spent TAXPAYER funds, over Ten K for a failed audit, and $3900.00 to a retired judge, Michael J. McGlynn SCREWED the residents out of the information, and met with the culprits at Regina Pizza and Bocelli's with NO NOTES to alert the public.

What was that word that Judge Jackson-Thompson decided to throw around in her report, oh, that's right, she wondered about possible "malfeasance."

MCM TV3 Twitter is Disgraceful FIRE PATRICK GORDON

WHAT THE HELL IS GORDON DOING?

1)No core hashtags on the Twitter account

2)A redundant name that is not the branding of the station --- even if his predecessor created the nonsense, Gordon is too stupid to correct it?

3) 77 followers in a city of 60,000 or so?

IT'S A NEW DAWN...

Calm down, Medford.

No, it's not the Mike McGlynn Story


It's a Rock n Roll Documentary about Boston


In my sleep I can roll out compelling documentary footage that people will watch repeatedly.

Medford Mass. will have access television.

First I have to send Patrick Gordon the way of Benjamin Brown, out the door for the sake of free speech and access for the masses in Medford.


Patrick - I'm the guy who shut down the entire
TV3 Medford.

You've already self-imploded, all that is necessary to do is to show how you've failed at running our TV station.

We don't need Muccini-Burke's lapdog continuing to keep people out of the television station.

Patrick Gordon Must Go!
 

Art Dealer Found by Documentary Director An art dealer disappeared with $50M. 17 years later, a documentary crew found him


An art dealer disappeared with $50M. 17 years later, a documentary crew found him - why has the legend-in-her-own-mind Dawn Natalia not shown up in the news with an Oscar ?

Years later the malicious woman who sued an access producer she's not fit to shine the shoes of has left a bad legacy of no-access in Medford.

We intend to change that in 2020


The Curse of Natalia is a stain that must be removed from Medford history

Vanessa Engle's new film tells the story of Michel Cohen and how he pulled off one of the biggest art cons in history before disappearing for nearly two decades.

The $50 Million Art Swindle debuted on BBC earlier this week and details Cohen's arrival from France, his many failed business ventures and his eventual rise in the world of high-priced art dealing.

When Cohen started trading stocks, he watched his fortune multiply and then erode. Desperate and broke, he turned to theft.

"I first clocked this story in 2001 when it was in the papers and it just struck me as an amazing story," Engle told Day 6 host Brent Bambury.
"I think I am a bit of a fanatical person by nature, and I just continued to do online searches looking for Michel Cohen whenever I had an idle moment."
The film is as much as anything a character study. He's a very complicated character and a fascinating character.

Defeating TV3 Again - We beat them in COURT, We Took their License Away, and Now We're Seeking Justice for the Cable Ratepayers

1,504,238 @ 3:42 pm

Town idiot, jackass Arthur Alan Deluca, smugly would publish that they got vindicated by the office of the AG.


That's odd,  - Stalker of Elders Deluca didn't seem to read that "law enforcement" on his actions could be "impeded" if they released the documents.

"I'll be damned if we let you take TV3 from us." Paraphrasing moron Ronald Delucia of Ark (more like Shark) Insurance.

Well, I do have a question for immoral Delucia now that I had him booted from TV3: "How is hell these days, Ronny?"

file under: one of the damned

Well, Deluca and his creepy colleagues can now see what could impede LAW ENFORCEMENT as the documents are coming to one theater near you...Medford Information Central, the real public access in the city of Medford




Dec 12, 5:57 pm The Appeal That Got the PROPER DETERMINATION



Public Records Division
Secretary of the Commonwealth
McCormack Building, #1611
1 Ashburton Place
Boston MA 02108

Dear Public Records Division:

I am appealing the response from the office of the Attorney General.

Please be advised that the mayor-elect of Medford, Attorney Breanna Lungo-Koehn, currently vice president of the Medford City Council, is CC:'d in this correspondence.  Attorney Lungo-Koehn ran on transparency, unity, community.  The previous two mayors involved in this P/E/G access TV "fiasco," the description of Adam Knight, a fellow councilor with Lungo-Koehn, outgoing Mayor Muccini-Burke and ex mayor Michael J. McGlynn, covered for the "gang" - and that's what it was - a "gang"  at Medford Community Cablevision, Inc., especially since the city lawyer, Mark E. Rumley, was appointed to the highly suspicious board of directors.

I will be sharing this e mail with some advisors as this merry-go-round - and I'm being respectful, this insanity in regards to public monies and documents unfairly withheld, does damage to the community media in Medford.

Since I am the individual who led the charge AND forced ex Mayor McGlynn's hand to cut a deal with MCC TV3 and remove them from the control of the TV station, the Office of the Attorney General has a clear responsibility to the residents of Medford, especially cable TV ratepayers, to be forthright.

I find the response from the AG's office to be lacking and appeal their failure to respond.

Recently the Public Records Division determined that this investigative reporter receive the 64 page document on the compensation fraud committed by approximately 27 Medford Police Department officers.   City Solicitor Rumley, the same individual who was on the MCC TV3 board of directors - and who shamefully violated his oath of office - fracturing the 1st and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution - keeping citizens out of access rather than "facilitating local programming" and performing "outreach," the job of a board member, filed a "motion to reconsider" which failed.   One of the reasons given by the Public Records Division was the public's interest.  Note Page 3 of SPR19-2081 below from that case: "...there is strong public interest in monitoring public expenditures and public employees have a diminished expectation of privacy with respect to public employment matters."

The city of Medford, unlike other cities and towns, co-owned the equipment. So unlike Pop Warner baseball or other non-profits, where the city is supposed to be somewhat "hands off," the Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. case is unique.
The city had as much of a fiduciary obligation to the P/E/G access - cable TV subscribers as the non-profit did.  Both failed miserably.  Both intentionally failed to provide the public with the information they were required - by law - to document and publish.

It appears that the Attorney General's office, though aware of the definition, is intentionally ignoring it. Thus the definition of "fiduciary obligation" is enclosed:

"Fiduciary obligation is the obligation or trust imposed by law on officials of an organization making them liable for the proper use and disbursement of the organization's money, funds and property.

Solicitor Rumley played cute, as usual, to the detriment of the citizens of Medford.
The Rumley sleight of hand is no stranger to the Public Records Division, nor to the citizens of Medford delighted to hear that Rumley allegedly is resigning.

Martha Coakley and Maura Healey failed to step up and address this quickly and efficiently.  They appeared to be very close to the McGlynn and Burke administrations.   Over six years have elapsed, and this bizarre "broken record" that "law enforcement" might be "impeded" is ridiculous.  City Hall said the same thing about the 27 officers involved in compensation fraud.  The release of the documents to me in November did nothing to compromise D.A. Marian Ryan's alleged investigation.    These red herrings are harmful to Medford media.  They had a clear impact on the election in regards to school committee and city council.

Here is my appeal:

1)I am appealing the response from the office of the Attorney General, public charities division

2)This request - the case, actually - goes back to 2013.  The public has great concerns over allegedly missing monies, as reported in the Medford Transcript (about 38k.)  Based on information and belief (being an investigative reporter, being
a former member of MCC TV3 who resigned because of the alleged malfeasance and physical assaults and mental harassment by the board members of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc., all in this correspondence have an idea that I know a lot more than I am putting into print here.

3)The Public Records Law was created to bring some sunlight to shred the darkness.

The office of the Attorney General sounds like a broken record.  The Public Charities Division has an obligation to quickly ascertain if Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. can dissolve.   If the Attorney General's office fails to make a determination in a timely fashion, do the citizens lose all rights - due to statutory rules - to sue the individuals that were on the questionable board of directors,
including the city lawyer?

I have watched this evolve over the past six years.

Given the rules stated in SPR/19-2081 (November 15, 2019, attached) the public's right to know is paramount.

I demand those documents that I have requested,

Respectfully,

Joe Viglione
