Thank You Public Records Office Re: SPR21/3054 Determination Tour Driver of Gilligan's Island as Access Manager = Pathetic

 Thank you,  Public Records Office 


I am happy that the records office is there for citizens.

Your help has given the public insight that Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn
hired a former Boston tour guide driver (???) to run access television for
a city of 50,000 or so people.  This would never have been known
without my appeal and your office helping force the mayor of disguises,
Breanna Lungo-Koehn, to actually be the transparency that she
deceitfully advertised.  Or advertises, more like it.

It is regrettable that a mayor who ran on "transparency" would
never have released this information to me without your office
keeping her administration honest.

As I supported Mayor Lungo-Koehn - even contributed $$ to her campaign,
it is my hope that the utilization of Public Records Requests would advise or prompt
her to clean up her act.

Very disturbing that cable TV subscribers are kept in the dark
because this mayor, like her two predecessors, uses the PUBLIC ACCESS
as their own personal soapbox putting obstacles in the way of
free speech and freedom of the press.

Which her oath of office demands.

She is not offering public access TV because Breanna loathes transparency.

It is GOVERNMENT access TV with possibly 60 percent or 80 percent 
somehow ending up in the "general fund."  That I intend to work hard to
stop.  

I will be having a lawyer draw up a "presentment letter" for
Attorney Scanlon as well as the mayor in regards to their obligations
and an eventual suit against the city to open up the access television
for all.

You may or may not recall Attorney Scanlon's predecessor, Mark E. Rumley.
Mr. Rumley said to me outside of his office close to two decades ago "You
do this for the community; no one would work this hard for just himself."
(paraphrased.)

Sadly, Mr. Rumley was the architect of the illegal censorship that
Lungo-Koehn is utilizing to the fullest.

Wish the Attorney General would be as effective as your office
is.   You and your colleagues have been amazing, even when I
disagree with them.

Respectfully, and thankfully,

Joe Viglione
