Dear Erica Warren and Sarah Monahan:

I want to thank you for investing the time into the research you put into my complaint.

Mr. Caraviello has been a reckless public official, lying under oath to the Medford police,

allegedly committing perjury in criminal court on 1/31/17, allegedly hiring a scurrilous

person at his limo company (now deceased,) etc. etc. etc.

It is up to every journalist, the Fourth Estate, to hold the bad element accountable.  

The bad  element, which Caraviello is certainly one of! 

 

Having known that individual for years I'm quite sure he is mocking the system and

relishing the fact that he got away with it.  Caraviello was reelected tonight, as was

the subject of the criminal investigation, Councilor Adam Knight.

Few in the community fight as hard as I do to hold these disrespectful individuals

accountable.  They resort to violence (ex clerk Edward P. Finn,) snubbing a subpoena

to criminal court (Edward P. Finn,) lying to the police (Richard F. Caraviello,) and 

other underhanded, selfish maneuvers that pad their pocket books, but degrade the

city of Medford.

A "thank you" from Richard Caraviello is like getting praise from Bernie Madoff.

So Caraviello and Knight were able to fail the voters again, no matter what the

Open Meeting law rules are.  Medford loses.  When Caraviello lost in criminal

court he went on a stalking campaign showing up at my home, blasting his

horn at me while I was entering the laundromat, yelling in my car window 

between Spring St and Central Ave.  Childish, immature behavior by an 

angry, indecent, dishonest city councilor.

To watch Mr. Caraviello stab his colleagues in the back is a thing of beauty.

Such a wretched, insignificant creature not known outside of the Medford

borders.

Fear not!  This journalist shall continue studying the wrongful conduct of

the city council and school committee.  That we have 4,400 or so hits *(for our

online magazine) on Election night (we always do well during election cycles) in 28 hours indicates that the public needs my independent voice.

2,100,794 - over 2 million views as of 12:28 am,

in about ten years of publishing, means that someone is

reading what we write.

Again, I thank you for your time and effort.  Mr. Caraviello is

gloating.  The taxpayers seeing their pocketbooks emptying

with that individual on the council praise my efforts.

Thank you again.   We will keep the scoundrels on notice

that wrongful conduct by elected officials will NOT be tolerated.

Respectfully,

 

Joe Viglione
