FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Urgency of a Public Access TV Station
For
the past 114 days as of today, April 23, 2016, Stephanie Muccini-Burke
has taken the wrecking ball to access television, to free speech rights
and any sort of transparency in Medford.
There are 198 days to November 8, 2016 - this critical election.
Christine
Barber said to give Mrs. Burke time to "get her feet wet." Quack.
Mrs. Burke worked for Mayor Michael J. McGlynn, she should have been
ready on day 1 to put the access TV station on the air as Muccini-Burke
was a PROPONENT of it, once upon a time.
A Class Action Suit is what Robert Cappucci and Mario Martin should consider being part of. Information below.
198 days to November 8
114 days Stephony Muccini-Burke has been in office
Mark
E. Rumley interrupted a speech of mine at a city council meeting - when
I was utilizing "the people's forum" to rally the troops for a Class
Action Suit. Runley, the individual who was not honest about free
speech, has been the problem working lockstep with a mayor, McGlynn, who
- according to sources - detests public access, transparency and
freedom of speech.
Why
would a city lawyer, who yelled at Councilor Michael Marks after Rumley
was called one of the mayor's "henchmen" - be so concerned about
stifling free speech when, as city lawyer, his duty is to foster free
speech. Rumley is derelict in his duty and should be fired as well as
sanctioned.
Rumley
also antagonized me at the people's forum, in concert with Paul Camuso,
attempting to belittle me by painting me as a man with Alzheimer's -
referencing a good friend of mine who passed away of the disease at 85
years of age. That's how Rumley and Camuso play their hardball -
interrupting, lying and not delivering services already paid for
City Solicitor Mark E. Rumley / Medford Daily Mercury on or about Nov. 16, 2008 (quoted from the 2nd Judge Jackson-Thompson hearing) saying:
“The
one sentiment that I have heard that I take great exception to is that
the city is trying to limit speech,” said Rumley. “The notion the city
would censor or squelch free speech is baseless and as city solicitor I
would find any such effort repugnant.”
If
Mario Martin is serious about running for office, rather than take on
Pat Jehlen, why not accomplish something huge - file a Class Action suit
with other residents demanding Access tv that we have already paid for
right now.
It's
not rocket science...we could have a station up and running in less
than a week. Mrs. Burke is stalling for time intentionally and it is
wrong, just plain wrong. She reneged on the deal for senior citizens to
get free parking; she has reneged on the deal for real public access.
It is time for litigation against city hall
Step 6: Getting a Public Access Channel and/or Studio in a town without one.
* Study the law
* Study the court decisions
* What to do next depends on what you find in your franchise agreement, and what your state law says.
Step 6a: Get the Franchise Agreement
Get a copy of the current franchise agreement from the city/town
clerk. This is the contract between your cable provider and your town.
You may have to file a FOIL (Freedom of Information Law) request, and
they may charge you for reproduction costs.
Step 6b: Study the law
Federal regulations are very weak.
o 47 USC § 531 (1984 Cable Act). Does not mandate public access. Only requires that your local town *can* require it. About the only useful
aspect of this law is 531(e) which prohibits editorial control of the
cable provider. Cable channels for public, educational, or governmental use
Step 6c: Study the Court Decisions
- Missouri Knights of the Ku Klux Klan v. Kansas City, Mo., 723 F.Supp. 1347 (W.D. Mo. 1989)
- Denver Area Educ. Telecomms. Consortium, Inc. v. FCC, 518 U.S. 727 (1996)
- McClellan v. Cablevision of Connecticut, et al., 949 F.Supp. 97 (D.Conn. 1997)
Step 6d: Seek all possible administrative Remedies
- Discuss your complaint to your cable provider. Cite the law/code you think they are in violation of.
- Petition the franchising authority (your city/town council, mayor, county legislature, etc.) for declaritory or other relief.
- Petition the branch of your state government which regulates cable companies
- If you find a violation of the law by the cable company, contact your state attorney general
