Station Manager Derelict in his Duties
Dear Honorable Mayor Lungo-Koehn,
Allegedly
Patrick Gordon spit at the Seventy Thousand Dollars he is paid to
service the city of Medford and failed to do his job. Allegedly. (See
attached photo)
The
Medford School Committee, of which you are the chair, allegedly was not
taped by the seventy-thousand dollar a year novice - the
not-ready-for-prime-time station manager.
My
company put in the SOLE response to Mayor McGlynn's RFP for a new
access station, and rumors that a state rep and others have publicly
stated that Joe Viglione is the best man for the job
are lighting up my phone line.
What
are you waiting for, Mayor Lungo-Koehn? This travesty hurts your
election chances; Pat Gordon's CORI check and disastrous policies and
procedures keep citizens and
people in surrounding communities locked out of this extension of the First Amendment. I call it election interference.
1)Does Gordon still live in Georgetown, Mass? 31 miles away, 45-60 minutes travel time depending on traffic conditions???
2)YOU - Mayor Lungo-Koehn - were going to hire locally - people with experience, but close to a year after you were elected
the opposite is true. You have embraced hires from your predecessors - the antithesis of what you ran on.
3)This
journalist/access TV producer dating back to 1979 was the sole person
to film Mike McGlynn in Room 207 with the Republic Parking meeting.
I
have taped many meetings that this municipality held prior to cameras
being installed. They end up on YouTube, not on the public access
station.
I walk the
walk. Patrick Gordon is NOT qualified to operate an access television
station and now Medford United is calling out Gordon, jumping
on the bandwagon that I've built since the erroneous hire by ex mayor Stephanie Muccini-Burke.
Do
you want Medford to blossom? I am ready to build a radio station, a
real TV station, promotion that serves the public and an attractive
place for citizens to meet and express their ideas.
Patrick
Gordon has on the Video On Demand 3 views, 5 views, one view ...no work
ethic. Meanwhile my blog has about 1700 hits in 48 hours and 1,698,923
page views as of 8:50 pm tonight
Gordon
was nasty to this speaker at the Cable Advisory Committee back in
2018. No decorum, no professionalism, just an inexperienced "Executive
Director" of city-owned access television.
You
KNOW I can solve your problems at TV3 / TV 47 - but the evidence shows,
Breanna, that there is more transparency on my blog via public records
requests than ANYTHING your administration
has
done. It is TIME for you to do the right thing. The reprobates on the
council - Scarpelli, Bears, Caraviello, Knight - will rail against it;
the reprobate chief of police will also have a meltdown having to
deal with me, and the mayor of Medford has refused to show the courage that this journalist puts on display every single day.
Breanna,
it is now time for you to step up to the plate. Patrick Gordon doesn't
do what has to be done. It is time for a change.
Mayor
Breanna Lungo-Koehn is the "issuing authority" when it comes to public
access television. The station manager, Patrick Gordon, purportedly
lives in Georgetown - 31 miles away - 45 minutes to an hour to get to
Medford depending on traffic conditions. Mr. Gordon is paid $70,000 or
so a year yet if you want to do access television under Gordon and
Lungo-Koehn you need to plow through pages of "policy and procedure"
designed to keep you out of the station, including a ridiculous CORI
check. This flies in the face of this extension of the First Amendment
that you pay for if you subscribe to Verizon or Comcast. On March 10,
2020 I spoke to the city council about the deficiencies. And now Eunice
Brown is oh so outraged (Eunice's Medford United actually bans people if
they don't like them; which is very much like the TV3 policies and
procedures, isn't it?) so here we are. Michael Marks allegedly stated in
April of 2018 at a Cable Advisory meeting at the TV station "Joe
Viglione was right." No doubt about that now. Eunice Brown has provided
us Exhibit A.
EUNICE
BROWN WRITES ABOUT NEGLIGENT AND UNPOPULAR ACCESS TV STATION MANAGER PAT
GORDON : "...he told me that he was not asked to cover the meeting."
That was the School Committee Sub committee meeting from Tuesday 9/15
Rules, Equity and Policy.

HISTORY IN THE MAKING
Today on Friday, September 18, 2020 an historic new record was released http://joeviglione.com/?p=1796
Look
at the work ethic I put into everything. Read about the new release
and think of how this published author can benefit Medford television.
We
lost Ruth Bader Ginsburg tonight and Mitch McConnell just "threw down
the gauntlet" as MSNBC announces and - in conflict with McConnell's push
for Obama not to have a Supreme Court justice,
ignoring Ginsburg's dying wish to hold off the vote for her seat until after the election, we see chaos from D.C. to Medford.
Do
you care about the school committee and do you want this professional
taping ALL city meetings? Or do you, like Pat Gordon, spit at the cable
TV ratepayers and take your extra money from
the school committee and run?
IF
Gordon - indeed - ignored his obligation for the 70k a year, your quick
decision - or lack of direction AND decision - will give the voters
something to ponder in 2021.
Unless, of course, Breanna, you don't give a damn about our city and don't feel like running again.
So many of your supporters are very disappointed in you, Breanna.
City government will go insane when you appoint me. But the public will love it.
Do the right thing, Breanna.
