RE: CONVICTED FELON AS VICE CHAIR OF MEDFORD SCHOOL COMMITTEE
       NO CONFIDENCE VOTE REQUESTED
       AG REQUESTED TO REMOVE PAUL RUSEAU
       FROM MEDFORD SCHOOL    COMMITTEE

Dear AG Healey and Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn,

Last evening I posted on Real Medford Mass Politics, Facebook the use of the "f" word by school committee person Paul Ruseau
Purportedly, Mr. Ruseau stated at the last school committee meeting that students are not allowed to use vulgarities online.

This kind of hypocrisy has no place in learning institutions like what Medford's school system is offering the taxpayers and their children.

VIEW DOCUMENTS HERE

The vulgar statement by Mr. Ruseau, on a Facebook link with his photo, is on my popular blog which, undated, appears to be on or about Sept 10, 2020, which would be after the
school committee meeting and Mr. Ruseau's comments about cuss words, if the estimated date is accurate 

Rather than attach the two images here, I have posted them on the blogsite.   

1)Ruseau's admission on Facebook and laughing at the fact that his criminal record and prison sentence were exposed.  Wouldn't a first-time offender at 18 years of age get a suspended sentence?
How serious were the two alleged crimes, and why are the citizens of Medford still in the dark on what the exact crimes of Paul Ruseau were under his previous name of Paul Comeau Jr.?

---why is Ruseau "laughing" if the crimes were serious enough that he wanted them expunged and went and changed his name?  Those actions indicated that Ruseau never told the public that
he was a convicted felon.  Where is the proof that he did?

2)Image of the Facebook vulgarity used by Ruseau which this reporter received last evening from a confidential informant
same link as above 

Someone like Mike Beaudet or Thomas Farragher at the Globe needs to investigate this.

There IS precedent across the country.  My question to Madame Attorney General is if the laws of Chicago, Illinois are in line with Massachusetts law in regards to felons not allowed
to serve on school committees

Where is Neil Osborne on this ?  

Where is Mayor Lungo-Koehn? 

Acting City Solicitor Scanlon?  

Superintendent Marice Edouard Vincent?

And should Ruseau's votes be the poisonous tree, if Ruseau is deemed unfit, and should his vote on the Columbus School and other votes be considered the "fruit of the
poisonous tree" Police Chief Buckley?   The silence around here is deafening.

I demand a NO CONFIDENCE VOTE by the school committee on Mr. Ruseau which is why I have included committee members Lungo Koehn, Van der Kloot, Mustone and Kreatz in this e mail

Failure to take such a vote and failure of the mayor to work with the AG to remove the vice chair will be seen as a slap in the face to Medford parents and taxpayers.

Where is the logic to this?

Respectfully,

CHICAGO
2 School Board Presidents Pressured To Resign Over Felony Convictions
By Dana KozlovJanuary 9, 2013 at 5:32 pm
Filed Under:Dana Kozlov, Felony Convictions, Harvey Public School District 152, Janet Rogers, Kenneth Williams, School Board Presidents, Thornton Township High School District 205


Harvey Public School District 152 school board president Janet Rogers and Thornton Township High Schools District 205 school board president Kenneth Williams both hold respected positions of leadership and trust in their communities. Both are also felons.

Rogers has a 2004 conviction for fraud, regarding state financial aid. Williams was convicted of forgery in Indiana in 1985.

Both recently received toughly-worded letters from prosecutors, telling them they must resign, because they are ineligible to hold their positions as convicted felons.

Williams wasn’t at home Wednesday and couldn’t be reached for comment.

Rogers wasn’t directly able to comment on the letter sent by the Illinois Attorney General’s office, stating her felony conviction makes her ineligible to hold her school board office. The attorney general’s office has said if her resignation isn’t submitted by Jan. 18, the state will sue.
