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,

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.
