Re: Massachusetts Public Records Request
Dear Keeper of the Records,
This is a request under the Massachusetts Public Records Law (M. G. L. Chapter 66, Section 10). I am requesting that I be provided a copy of the following records:
1)Document containing the membership list of Medford Community Media (the name of the YouTube channel with 1 upload and 29 views) or the membership of MedfordTV.org or the membership of MCM_Medford which the Twitter and Instagram accounts use or Facebook/MedfordTV which the station uses or the membership of MCM which the Facebook also uses.
I am being specific because the disorganized branding appears to be deliberate to confuse the public and keep people out.
Any of those names having a membership list is the document that I am requesting.
Any of those names having a membership list is the document that I am requesting.
2)The documents providing the dates and times of all the classes held at Medford Community Media in 2019 and 2020 including the names of the attendees and the number of attendees per class.
I remind you that MCM or whatever the station manager is calling it this week is NOT a 501c3 and that these are not "personnel" issues.
These are public names with individuals required to give their name and address (as citizens do publicly at the city council) and cannot be redacted or withheld because they will reflect poorly on the station manager. This is PUBLIC information about an alleged PUBLIC access station which is not serving the public in the way that it is required to.
3)As Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn is the "issuing authority," I request her new documents on applying to the TV station for membership, applications or forms for sending in videos via e mail or U.S. Mail, and the new policies and procedures for the television station.
4)Under Muccini-Burke and ex Solicitor Rumley there was a bizarre CORI FORM WAIVER where a producer had to make an admission that they didn't want to be around children if they merely e mailed or mailed a video.
This sick abuse of the First Amendment was concocted by Mark E. Rumley and was designed to harass, besmirch and deny public access producers to the soapbox.
Rumley knew he had violated his oath of office, his oath as an attorney and his oath as a human being masquerading as some kind, benevolent Medford personality.
It was abusive, bullying and in violation of Demarest vs Athol/Orange, the precedent setting lawsuit which defined even amateurs as official "news gatherers."
Rumley's obsession over children was at a school where Jenna Tarabelsi was convicted of rape 10/13/17, two days before the official opening of this new private access station by Mrs. Burke (10/15/17) which had a city council vice president being molested on camera by a state representative at 10:30 am that morning, in front of two little children, well, you do the math.

The sick behavior by elected officials and a city lawyer was beyond the pale.
What is the new, logical and refreshing APPLICATION FORM without CORI CHECK and the form to mail in programs without an implication that the individual would behave like Michael Marks and Paul Donato on some edition of The Dating Game, which is probably their best defense were I defending them. Alas, I'm not a lawyer, thus, I see their inappropriate behavior as indefensible and deserving of sanctions.
5)Any documents showing why station manager Patrick Gordon has the right to DENY access television and why my DVDs that Krissy Fraser accepted were never aired.
I need all internal memos and e mails regarding the conspiracy not to air my program or a reason why my shows were refused by the station manager who insulted me on camera at a cable advisory board meeting.
Insulting residents at the time of the broadcast was not in his job description and this public records request should also serve as a document as to why Mr. Gordon needs to be fired immediately.

(Bullying by a station manager; harassment of a senior homosexual male, etc. by Patrick Gordon IS Discrimination and a violation of the law. Censorship is not in his job description.)
I recognize that you may charge reasonable costs for copies, as well as for personnel time needed to comply with this request, however, as a journalist with more page views per hour than Medford Community Media can obtain in weeks, the public interest being great, I respectfully request that you waive the fee.
The Public Records Law requires you to provide me with a written response within 10 business days. If you cannot comply with my request, you are statutorily required to provide an explanation in writing.
Kindly respond by e mail
Sincerely,
Joe Viglione
