Effective vs Ineffective
At this time we are not endorsing anyone for Medford Mayor.
But "here's the deal," to quote Joe Biden. Lungo Koehn's fumbling and stumbling as Mayor for 3 1/2 years has one thing going for her. She's not Mike McGlynn, She's not Stephanie Muccini-Burke and she's not that charlatan Richard F. Caraviello.
Other than that, her embarrassing failures with hideous ex Chief of Staff Dave
"can't keep a job" Rodrigues, Neil "I need some extra cash though I violated the open meeting law" Osborne and others shows a lack of integrity, displays nothing any sane person would call "community" with her unknown insiders and KP Law wreaking havoc on the citizenry...the taxpayers - a clear bit of evidence that Lungo-Koehn is INCAPABLE of any sort of unity. It is just plain mortifying.
Breanna has pissed so many supporters off it is frightening. She vanquished John Falco, ho hum, and Mike McGlynn in the process. But what a waste of resources, and how sad that Breanna took advantage of those of us who supported her and got her into office. Mayor Lungo Koehn Asking Me for Cash After Public Access Fiasco with Duck Boat Driver? Sheesh What "The Work Ahead" ?

Joseph,
I am proud to call Medford my home and it has been an honor to serve my community as Mayor over the last three and a half years.
Together,
we tackled some tough issues from safely reopening our city and schools
and supporting our small businesses after the early days of the
pandemic to developing Medford’s first comprehensive multi-year Capital
Improvement Plan and launching a community-driven Comprehensive Plan
process to create a 30 year vision for our future.
We also secured some big wins for our community:
Supported
renovations and expansions of units at our Housing Authority Facilities
by allocating hundreds of thousands in grant funding and ARPA funds to
offset costs. Finalized a Housing Production Plan and encouraged
developers to craft proposals that prioritized affordable housing
options..
Put plans in motion to redevelop three municipal lots to
revitalize Medford Square and the revitalization of Clippership Park and
the Mystic River waterfront.
Laid the groundwork for development
projects in Medford like the billion dollar life science park proposal
on Mystic Ave and the once in a lifetime opportunity to develop on the
air rights over the WellingtonT parking lots.
Authorized hundreds of
community projects in our parks and playgrounds to remove 250 tree
stumps from our sidewalks and repair over 94 streets this year as part
of a bigger sidewalk and pavement assessment to outline a strategy to
tackle the backlog of projects.
While we’ve made tremendous
progress transforming our City into a more vibrant, accessible and
inclusive community, our work is not done.
That is why I am announcing my run for re-election.
You’ve
always had my back, and I’ve always had yours. I look forward to
continuing our work together to make Medford a better place. You can
join our team by making a donation to support or by signing up to
volunteer.
Best,
Breanna Lungo-Koehn

BOSTON – A Somerville tax preparer has been arrested for allegedly preparing false tax returns in the names of taxpayers.
Yves Isidor, 67, was indicted by a federal grand jury on five counts of aiding and assisting in the filing of false federal tax returns. Isidor was arrested on April 14, 2023 and, following an initial appearance in federal court in Boston, was released on conditions and an unsecured bond.
According to the indictment, from at least 2012 through 2016, Isidor operated under the name Tax and Realty Pro – a Malden tax preparation business – to file more than 1,200 tax returns in the names of clients, charging from $100 to $500 per return. He allegedly added false information to returns to claim deductions for fictitious medical and dental expenses, personal property taxes, gifts to charities, general sales taxes and unreimbursed employee business expenses. As a result, the indictment alleges that some taxpayers paid lower taxes than they owed and, in most cases, received tax refunds to which the taxpayers were not entitled, leading to hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses to the IRS.
The charges of aiding and assisting in the filing of false federal tax returns each provide for a sentence of up to three years in prison, one year of supervised release, a fine of $250,000 and restitution. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.
United States Attorney Rachael S. Rollins and Joleen D. Simpson, Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation in Boston made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorney Victor A. Wild of Rollins’ Securities, Financial & Cyber Fraud Unit is prosecuting the case.
The details contained in the indictment are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Dear Neighbors,
Thanks to all who have responded about questions in the first two newsletters about tax cuts: Vox Populi and Cui Bono?. I'll report on some of your responses, including ones about today's newsletter, soon. This time, I suggest:
Caveat Emptor!
One of the main reasons given for cutting taxes is that we have a surplus. See, for example, the way Priorities for Progress framed its polling question:

“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” the company said in a statement on Monday. “We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.”
There will be no sendoff for Carlson, as his last program aired on Friday. Carlson had signed off on Friday stating he would be back on Monday.
The company wouldn’t comment beyond the release, and whether Carlson was being taken off air in response to the Dominion defamation case.

"Vacant" Director of Human Resources. Neil, the official "frog marcher" who sent others to the unemployment line, appears to have been "frog-marched" himself by Breanna herself. Hmmmmm.....Inquiring minds do want to know....no announcement? https://www.medfordma.org/departments/human-resources file under: the vanishing man...
Is Neil Osborne officially OUT at Medford City Hall? https://patch.com/massachusetts/medford/debate-continues-over-human-resources-pay-medford Osborne has been getting paid $113,724, which is in the range of compensation for the human resources director in many neighboring towns, but has been performing two jobs. He is currently in a pay classification level of CAF 19, one of the higher compensation ranges in the city. Councilor George Scarpelli took issue with Osborne's pay remaining the same, and paying another person equally, despite the duties being separated.
Neil's Linked In has him leaving Human Resources in March of 2023, but his Linked In also hasn't changed, like that Ab Ba guy who kept it on his resume' on Linked In after he was allegedly frog-marched out. https://www.linkedin.com/in/attyneilosborne/ Fair use copyright of Linked In. News worthy. So Neil - obviously - changed the timeline, but his headline still says he is employed in Medford....hmmm.....
