    Medford council reappoints leaders in contentious vote

    Camuso asked for City Solicitor Mark Rumley's opinion on the rule Tuesday, but he refused because Marks had already gone to the state Ethics Commission.

    On Thursday, Rumley agreed to weigh in. He said after conferring with City Clerk Ed Finn, he agreed to ask the Ethics Commission about the rule and whether it applied in this case. According to the advice he received from the commission, the councilors could use it in order to proceed with the vote and resume city business, Rumley said.
    Penta refused to accept Rumley's explanation.

    "I don't think I'm going to buy it the way you're saying it," Penta said.

    Rumley responded: "I mean this as a friend, whether you buy it is irrelevant to me."
