WHY am I watching all the Sopranos' episodes in the middle of the Knight, Adam? We're going to have a peaceful coup in Medford and replace the three stooges - peacefully - with Erin, Natalie and Jean!
A peaceful coup using the pandemic to expose three and a half rotten apples on the Medford city council
The newbie idiot is the half a rotten apple because he is too stupid to grasp the political infection.

REAL MEDFORD MA POLITICS
My response to Stephanie (not Muccini-Burke)
We both are putting good ideas on the table for discussion.
Of course in the recent past some of my ideas would be considered unrealistic .
COVID-19 is a reset button - in over 65 years I have never experienced anything like this.
Let's be realistic about COVID-19 - then get back to the politicians. The gas "crisis" was manufactured by OPEC in 1973 and 1979 - that was a precursor to this 2020 madness forty-seven years later.https://www.npr.org/.../gas-lines-evoke-memories-oil...
Then the AIDS crisis also blindsided the world in the 1970s and 1980s, around the same time as the OPEC lunacy https://www.avert.org/professio.../history-hiv-aids/overview
A "reset" button usually follows these "tipping points" in modern history. That's when high-minded people seek solutions while greedy, selfish "carpetbaggers" see opportunity and take advantage.
(A KK who calls himself KM comes to mind here!)
Does anyone really need 38 billion dollars to live (I think I could survive on four or five billion, thank you very much) and were I to employ your solid case, which is a very good one, Stephanie, I wouldn't want the unholy three (Rick, George and Adam) on the city council, nor would I want a novice like Zac on a city council, and certainly not for 30K a year.
As the public gets squeezed and starts understanding the peril their family is in due to stupid individuals not following the rules (Adam K prime example - can't even follow the current council rules which we the people know better than Adam, and he wants to make new ones that benefit him personally) - once the squeeze hits and hurts and three hundred Medford residents storm the castle, then you will have change.
Right now it is a free for all and y'all are paying much too much money for something you aren't receiving. Heck, I live on a Medford street that extends by inches into Malden...it is actually pretty funny the boundaries.
I live directly on the Medford border by a few feet into Malden and some troublemaker at the March 10 city council tries to make that an issue.
We can all go speak to the Medford Oregon city council if we so choose, it's a free country, and therein lies the problem - how do residents in this region get along when certain elected officials and their minions are so transparently selfish and spouting malarkey when a crisis hits?
Tipping point and reset button.
Let the unicorns march!
Crisis is opportunity and the bigger the crisis the bigger the opportunity to throw the bums out.
The big difference here, Stephanie, is that the longer this pandemic festers the more of an opportunity for the citizens to demand council and school committee paychecks be cut for the greater good, opening the door for a volunteer system.
In January that would have been unthinable...but these political April showers - indeed - open the door to May flowers - opportunities to change city government.
Mayor Lungo-Koehn I have some advice:
find a way to remove Adam, Rick and George replacing them with Erin, Jean and Natalie and you now have YOUR city council, not McGlynn's gift to Mrs. Burke.
Let those who have ears hear.
