Hello Clerk Hurtubise, Mayor and City Officials:

1)Possibly numbering the council meetings.  "8th Regular Meeting" for this week's.

My readers are kindly requesting that the city council meetings be numbered on the weekly e mails.

I have posted that 2/25/2020 is the Eighth Regular Meeting as Mr. Falco announces on air that the past week is the 7th.

My position is that some of the public is paying attention - and it is good for referencing.  

One resident actually took me to lunch in Haines Sq. discussing the issue.  

God bless him!  

So people really do care.

2)The TV3 station manager leaves 14 minutes of silence on the video of the 7th Regular Meeting - 2/18/2020.

Did you know Yoko Ono has a piece entitled "Silence" on one of her albums?  Maybe Patrick Gordon can claim

he is playing Yoko's recording but it would be inappropriate. Citizens deserve better.

Fourteen minutes in the 7th Regular Meeting of the Medford City Council begins. Feb 18, 2020 @ 7 pm.  

For Seventy Thousand Dollars a year one would think the MCM Station Manager could edit the 14 minutes out.  

Talk about lazy.   But with our old pal Joe Fortunato and our enemies on the city council allegedly endorsing Gordon's bad behavior,

well, all bets are off.

1)Please, kindly, add the number of the meeting to the pages that you send out

2)Please have the station manager edit the city council videos.

3)Medford Community Media has only posted 3 items since November of 2019.

This is reprehensible.  Look at the weak hashtags.  

Look at the poor showing of Twitter followers
157 Following 84 Followers

Twitter opened in August of 2018 and in a city of close to 60 thousand or so...84 followers - for a 70k a year paycheck?

Really?  The City Council RECOGNIZED MCM?   That's like Vladmir Putin recognizing Trump for poor branding.

That's like the Three Stooges saying "Good job" for 84 followers in close to 19 months.

It's an utter disgrace.

Michael Marks is certainly going to praise Patrick Gordon for keeping his constituents out, asking for a CORI check, and putting

Marks on the air.   Hey, if George Scarpelli doesn't see his failure as a chaperone when the rapes happened in Otis Mass on the

TV3 airwaves, he's going to support MCM as well.  Zac Bears not caught in his pajamas televised at Joe Pizza, another reason

to praise Mr. Gordon's incompetence.   Caraviello losing in criminal court, but the video not showing up on MCM, another positive

vote for lazy Pat Gordon.

A commentary on the City Council of Medford 

This particular city council pledging allegiance to the flag is akin to flag burning with their collective hot air.

"The US Congress did pass a law against flag burning. But the US Supreme Court correctly threw the law out on the grounds that flag burning is protected political speech. Many people don't like that decision. However, the person who burnt the flag can be found guilty of a misdemeanor for starting a fire without a permit." (Wikipedia, etc.)

Or when Caraviello uses the office of the District Attorney for an illegal vendetta, it's like shouting "fire" in a crowded theater.

With the evidence against Mr. Caraviello, the citizens of Medford should be ashamed of themselves if, indeed, they actually voted that incompetent buffoon in.  This is NOT an "honorable" city council by any stretch. 

By the way, this isn't humor - it's sick to pay 7 individuals $200,000.00 under Plan A government when the mayor is in charge.

Charter Change should include removal of this absolutely useless city council.  200k a year could be better spent fixing ourroadways and beautifying the high school, but what do I know? Judges only call me "intelligent" and "very logical."

Feb 10 Medford City Council recognized Medford Community Media at the February 4th meeting!

What, is the city council giving out awards for "Excellence in Fraudcasting?"

So rather than reach out to the public, Patrick Gordon's one of three posts since November has the council recognizing some hack allegedly from Georgetown, Mass?  

That's like Satan congratulating you

now that you've been banished to hell for all eternity.

Medford deserves so much better, especially for that kind of money
