There,
just saved us lots of money. Lots and lots of money. Forget going to
the maximum of what you want the citizens to pay, just get rid of the
creeps who take advantage of us with no access TV to keep the residents
informed.
Medford Transcript writes:
The
proposal marks a 4.3 percent increase from last year’s budget and
includes about $2.52 million in additional revenue that will come from
taxpayers — part of a 2.5 percent tax increase, the maximum allowed
under state law.
1)We
have one of the most expensive - and useless under Plan A government -
city councils in the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
2)If
State Rep Paul Donato is the "poisonous tree" - promising to help with
Charter Review but not fighting hard enough on Beacon Hill. PROMISING to
help with Access TV but running scared because he doesn't want to
ruffle the feathers of lesser politicians, then Christine Barber must be
the young pup / baby sprout - the fruit of the poisonous tree. She
wants to let Muccini-Burke "get her feet wet" with good people
abandoning ship.
With Barber's poisonous point of view city hall will be empty giving Stephanie time to "get her feet wet" - spending money like a drunken sailor. Shame on Ms. Barber and her misguided loyalty to a hack like Muccini-Burke
CHRIS DONOVAN FINALLY SPEAKS - but he let the rest of us do the heavy lifting on Access TV
and was nowhere to be found:
“I
was shocked and a little embarrassed to see department manager after
department manager come up and say the city is outdated, the
infrastructure is old and the communication between departments is
almost nonexistent,” said resident Chris Donovan during the council’s
June 7 meeting after attending several budget hearings.
3)Adam
Knight VOTED for his own pay raise about 3 weeks in when he was a
rookie, and now - acting like a rookie, he votes against Charter review,
leaving the citizens without the ability to give the city council more
power.
What we got in return was a disgusting individual who:
a)uses the city council to promote himself by congratulating his friends while leaving the city to rot
b)frequently
Knight gets up to leave the council, possibly to have a smoke or play
with reprobate Matthew Page Lieberman, the violent individual in a
police report for having disrupted a city council meeting, good friends
with Knight. You are known by the company you keep.
c)Knight
congratulates Steve Smith from a local union (son-in-law of McGlynn
cousin Johnny Granara,) goes on his soap box about the Verizon strike
and the Tufts' janitors, but Knight runs away from the TV3 issue, even
though during his first campaign he called his friend Matt Page
Lieberman's board of directors (which Lieberman served on) a "fiasco."
Impeach Adam Knight and put thirty grand back into the general fund.
We
will get back to the horrendous budget, but one more thing about
Knight. Adam Knight calls TV3 a "fiasco." The dissolving corporation,
dissolving due to allegations of racism and homophobia and other
disgusting matters, including financial, boots Matt Page Lieberman.
Lieberman's actions were so vile and disgusting that the vile and disgusting corporation removed him.
Knight
calls the corporation a "fiasco" and then aligns with (arguably) the
most disreputable member of the most disreputable 501c3 in Medford's
history - worse than Stanley Komins and Pop Warner could ever be.
Komins was your garden variety convicted thief; TV3 harassed, bullied
and lied, and one of their accomplices restrained by the court when her
victim obtained a criminal harassment order of protection for the
complaint against her, Julie Kelleher a.k.a. Julie the Jarhead of
Malden. But she will tell you to run her CORI, after she was booted out
of another 501c3 for the same stalking behavior aimed at the same
victim.
Knight engages with one of the reprobates, Page-Lieberman, and thinks nothing of it.
