Federal judge strikes down New Mexico village’s ban on critical comments at council meetings

The next in line to be Councilor in Medford is Mark Crowley if  Paul A. Camuso is impeached, steps down or is otherwise removed.  Since Medford, Massachusetts has no term limits, the stagnation created by Camuso’s insistence on being on the council (while he works for Sheriff Peter Koutoujian, who should know better!) is what is holding the city of Medford back.

REPLACEMENT FOR PAUL A. CAMUSO
http://www.communitymediamedford.com/?p=269

Camuso is classless, a bully, and was deeply aligned with the 501c3 Medford Community Cablevision, Inc., a “non-profit” so dilatory and sluggish when it came to “quickly dissolving” that antenna went up all over Medford: something wasn’t kosher with TV3. Yet Camuso was aligned THOROUGHLY with them, and used them for political advantage.

RESTITUTION:

Paul Camuso benefited in a BIG way from the abuse of TV3 and needs to be held accountable. Restitution can start with Camuso stepping down from the council, which will allow an honest and forthright Mark Crowley the opportunity to serve the citizens of Medford with fairness.

The only people in Medford who BENEFIT from a Camuso presidency (and residency) on the council are Camuso, Aunty Carol -from her alleged world headquarters in Boca Raton – and the 27-year incumbent Mayor. The citizens who believe Camuso’s antics don’t realize how bad he is for them.  And why should some woman in Boca Raton have more influence over Medford life than the taxpayers and cable TV subscribers in Medford itself?

If you want to complain about your water and sewer rates, the residential parking fiasco and TV3 write to:

Catch Me If You Can Aunty Carol /
P.O. Box Never You Mind,
Boca Raton, FL
Zip Code: “I left my heart in 02155 but took my wallet to F.L.A!”

The breach of Public Trust exacted on Medford by the woefully unqualified Paul Camuso and possibly by the alleged “Queen of City Council Texting,” Boca-bound Aunty Carol, is an indignity to all of us who love living inMedford and appreciate its beauty in spite of Camuso’s intolerable, vicious,  corrupt interaction with Medford Community Cablevision, Inc.

     Camuso has something else in common with self-appointed MCC president Frank Pilleri along with their mutual abuse of P/E/G access – arrogance.

    Pilleri never thought he’d be shown the door (indeed, the Agreement with the City, now torn up – thank God – was pushed back to August 2015 instead of April, 2015, where it was to be concurrent with the Comcast contract. Another bit of Pilleri “sleight of hand” – you betcha, to quote Sarah Palin, and you KNOW Camuso knew all about it!)

   My camera removed the Mayor’s uncle, Gene McGillicuddy, from Medford Housing Authority’s board of directors (coincidentally, Uncle Gene was the president of TV3 when Pilleri allegedly had to step down, was FORCED to step down allegedly, though Pilleri’s resume’ on Linked In allegedly lies and says Pilleri was “president” for 25 years.) Someone in-the-know said “You removed Uncle Gene, you’ll get rid of Frank Pilleri.” Truer words were never spoken.

    Removing Uncle Gene and Frank Pilleri was like hitting back-to-back Grand Slams. Paul Camuso, a smaller nuisance by comparison, will only take a single or a double against a tough pitcher, Michael J. McGlynn.

    McGlynn’s arm is tired, it’s the ninth inning, and this writer has the eye of the tiger, and the fat, juicy target, Paul A. Camuso, should be easier to find than the broad side of a barn.  Here comes the pitch, my baseball bat is ready to hit it out of the park and usher in our newest City Councilor, Mark Crowley.

   Cleaning up the city of Medford, removing the crony-infested Camuso/Zappelli ticket at long last.

AMEN!

REPLACEMENT FOR PAUL A. CAMUSO
http://www.communitymediamedford.com/?p=269

Replacing Paul A. Camuso

http://medfordinformationcentral.blogspot.com/2014/07/replacing-paul-camuso.html

The Anti-Camuso Manifesto!

Unreasonable PAUL A. CAMUSO cannot be trusted and must be removed from the City Council of Medford, Massachusetts. 

With a “rule of necessity” Camuso gave himself a nice raise, yet when a citizen, this author, Joe Viglione, went to the City Council on the agenda, Camuso refused to hear the citizen, Camuso abusing his authority, engaging in censorship, denying First Amendment rights at the People’s Forum, and antagonizing not only this speaker but others. 

I was merely there to ask the Council to roll back the unwarranted pay raise. But Camuso, acting as if the “blasphemy” (to him) was speech from a Neo Nazi or a member of ISIS, shut the talk down before the taxpayers could have a voice exposing Camuso’s sleight of hand and self-enrichment.  Camuso’s action was immoral, violated the 1st Amendment, and was a dishonest act by an elected official who should be held to a higher standard.

CAMUSO IS IN IT FOR HIMSELF

News flash to Camuso, when I signed up for the draft in 1972 it was to put my name in the hat to serve my country, if need be. Men and women have fought for the 1st Amendment rights which you denied me. 

And here is where Camuso’s exposure becomes all the more precise: Camuso was one of the three misguided voices, along with novice Adam Knight and that ignoramus Freddy Dello Russo, Jr. that voted against the taxpayers. They voted against the taxpayers and the four councilors protecting taxpayers, Camuso and his gang of three voting for McGlynn in the minority. They lost.  They are the same three (of four) that voted for the self-enrichment that was the bogus pay raise.

_________________________________________________________

PAUL A. CAMUSO is no stranger to voting against the residents, taxpayers and cable TV subscribers.  Camuso got free use of the embattled and broken Medford Community Cablevision, Inc., thwarting then-Councilor Stephanie Muccini Burke and CIty Solicitor Mark Rumley from bringing a motion forward.   MCC TV3 has until Thursday, July 24, 2014, to hand the checkbook over to Medford City Hall.  The possible repercussions  could  blow back on Paul A. Camuso, in a very serious, serious way.  And should.  Because residents have witnessed the alignment of Camuso with the untrustworthy “board of directors” of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc., a group which kept no meeting minutes, eviscerated Robert’s Rules of Order, and engaged in criminal harassment so extreme that the then-City Council President, Camuso’s uncle-by-marriage, called the police who listed this writer as the VICTIM (that was the determination by the Medford Police Department) with Camuso’s friends at TV3 the “persons of interest.”  Read the police report. Mayor McGlynn received a copy from me, by hand, the day after the assault on me @ the City Council, as did Judge DIane Kottmyer, because McGlynn told me to bring it to the judge.  Like Pontius Pilate the Mayor washed his hands of it because HE was afraid of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. at the time.  Even the Mayor was in fear of Paul Camuso’s friends and colleagues at the now broken TV3 Medford.

_________________________________ 

That is why I am asking Clerk Ed Finn and Council Vice President Rick Caraviello to DEMAND that Camuso step down during all discussion of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. for the obvious CONFLICT OF INTEREST. Not only just on Tuesday, July 15, but any time the issue of MCC TV3 or Public Access – P/E/G is on the agenda or spoken about at the Council.

__________________________________________________________________

PAUL A. CAMUSO hurt the cable TV subscribers while benefiting the fractured TV station that fawned all over Camuso (in violation of the Internal Revenue Code) while maliciously attacking Camuso’s colleagues on the City Council.   It was a pure conspiracy and one wonders if Camuso’s de facto campaign manager was involved, she being the “puppet master” telling the buffoon, Camuso, what to do and when to do it.

PAUL A. CAMUSO committed a serious breach of the public trust, at the City Council, and should be held to a higher standard.  Camuso sets the bar low for himself and very high for the residents who pay his outrageous and underserved salary.

_____________________________________________________

Paul Camuso’s many TV3 votes BETRAYED THE PUBLIC TRUST.  Also, Camuso has antagonized residents for years.  With multiple sources, including individuals from the Medford Democratic City Committee attributing Camuso’s strategies to a family member, one must wonder why that woman would not STOP Camuso from engaging in unprofessional behavior and wrongful conduct designed to bully, intimidate and to harass.  If that woman wants to hitch her wagon to the Camuso train, should she be held responsible when he’s a bad boy while under her direction?   Subpoenas can go out to the Medford Democratic City & Ward Committees to find out what they know and when they knew it!

______________________________________________________________

Paul Camuso and his de facto campaign manager, the mysterious “Aunty Carol,” should bear the full weight of the justice system if Camuso’s friends and colleagues at Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. are found to have embezzled the funds, the hard-earned monies cable TV subscribers are forced to pay into a system, and if the connection can be proven via texts, emails and witnesses.  Please keep in mind that the allegations in this essay are just that, allegations.  The citizens are working hard to get to the bottom of this nonsense.  It just seems strange that Mr. Camuso appears to get his marching orders from a community organizer/relative and that Camuso has voted lock-step to protect those who promoted him at the 501c3.  An investigation and subpoenas could result in citizens knowing exactly how deep the relationship between Camuso, the Community Organizer and Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. actually goes, with texts and e mails that the public has a right to see and scrutinize.

Has anyone noticed that three of the areas where City Hall Medford has not protected ratepayers (who are also taxpayers) – residential parking, sewer and water, as well as cable tv, are all front and center in the press AND all front and center on the City Council agenda this week.

IT IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST FOR PAUL A. CAMUSO TO SIT ON THE COUNCIL THIS WEEK WHEN HE WAS SO CLOSELY ALIGNED TO TV3; IT WOULD BE AS BAD AS CAMUSO VOTING ON THE BROOKS ESTATE, FOR WHICH HE RECUSED HIMSELF.

________________________________________________________________

Paul A. Camuso subverted free speech rights at the City Council exactly in the same manner that Frank “could not prove the assertion of perjury to be false” Pilleri cheated, bullied and defamed cable TV subscribers that he took advantage of, while also cheating and defaming politicians who stood watch over the city co-owned equipment, elected officials and candidates running for office getting cyber-bully rocks thrown at them in violation of the Internal Revenue Code prohibiting Pilleri and TV3 from promoting Camuso while defaming Councilors Lungo-Koehn, Penta, Muccini-Burke and others.

Camuso enjoyed airtime from a then-board member, Gary Zappelli who, after he stepped down from the board, remained a member and independent contractor.  But Zappelli was always the de facto board member, he only stepped down after people got wind of something askew.  The Rumley Report noted that Arthur Alan Deluca, Steve Marra and Gary Zappelli, all board members, got paid from the 501c3 non-profit.  But with no MEETING MINUTES no one knows if Marra, Zappelli and Deluca VOTED for their own cash, therein lies the problem. Without legitimate meeting minutes (not doctored up ones manufactured in July of 2014 because City Hall is finally putting its foot down on the corporation that had an agreement with city hall which included Medford co-owning some of the assets) the board of directors cannot be trusted.  They cannot be given the benefit of the doubt because everything is beyond “a little suspicious.”  It’s the 9th inning and there are 3 outs.

IT IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST FOR PAUL A. CAMUSO TO SIT ON THE COUNCIL THIS WEEK WHEN HE WAS SO CLOSELY ALIGNED TO TV3; IT WOULD BE AS BAD AS CAMUSO VOTING ON THE BROOKS ESTATE, FOR WHICH HE RECUSED HIMSELF.

 The recall of any public official doesn’t happen every day but it is most common at the local level. When city council members don’t keep their constituents happy, often those constituents push for a recall. This is a complex process but can be achieved with enough support.

Dear Mr. Pilleri:

On or about June 20, 2014  a representative of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. {hereinafter referred to as “MCC”} left copies of the following documents at the Law Department. 

FIVE PAGES FROM CITY HALL AND THEY ARE QUITE SPECIFIC.  STAY TUNED.  Let’s fast forward to the end of page 3 for now:   

Since MCC has filed the Administrative Dissolution Petition under the provisions of G.L.c.180 11A(c)4, the issue of whether it has “remaining assets” is relevant and must be supported with objective clarity.

Re: Dissolution of Medford Community Cablevision Inc.               
Attorney General # 021285

Dear Mr. Pilleri:

On or about June 20, 2014 a representative of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. [hereinafter referred to as “MCC”] left copies of the following documents at the Law Department.

1.A copy of a two (2) page “Administrative Dissolution Petition” signed by you  on June 18, 2014, addressed to the Attorney General’s Office, Non-Profit  Organizations/Public Charities Division;

2. A copy of Final Form PC (Form PC-F) for the period of 5/1/2013 through April  30, 2014, consisting of five (5) pages;
3. A copy of Form 990-EZ consisting of twelve (12) pages;
4. A copy of the Financial Statements of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc as  of April 30, 2014, consisting of nine (9) pages;
5. A copy of a letter from me to you dated October 2, 2013, consisting of one (1)
   page;
6. A copy of the Officer Certificate of Board Action of Medford Community

Cablevision Inc, signed electronically by you on October 2, 2013, consisting of one (1) page;

7. A copy of a Payment Confirmation, dated June 19, 2014, from the Secretary of
   State consisting of three (3) pages;
8. A copy of a one (1) page Continuation Sheet marked “4A”.

The basis of the inquiry/request contained herein is the representation made by MCC to the Attorney General’s Office that ‘all of its assets have been distributed to the City of Medford’. This representation can be found in the following documents:

1. The statement contained in the Administrative Dissolution Petition that
   “Medford Community Cablevision Inc. has distributed all of Us assets to the City
   of Medford to be used in the future for the .same purpose as that of Medford
   Community Cablevision Inc”^].
2. The statement made in Form PC-F line 5 that “All of the organizations assets
   were distributed to the City of Medford for use in their cable TV programs in the
   future. This was done in conformity with MGL Chapter 180 and the Articles of
   Organization item 4B (attached)   .
3. The statement made on the Financial Statements, Note 2 that “All assets of the
   organization have been transferred to the City of Medford in accordance with the
   requirements of law “,

As you are aware, the sole ‘distribution’ from MCC to the City of Medford occurred during January, 2014 when the City, at its own cost and expense, moved all of the equipment/contents located at 32 Riverside Avenue³ to a location ovvned’by the City of Medford, This move included, but was not limited to, all cameras, microphones, monitors, production equipment, control room equipment, furniture and the like that were located at 32 Riverside Avenue.

Outside of the City’s move of the equipment/contents in January, 2014, there has never been any ‘distribution’ from MCC to the City of Medford, Unquestionably, the City of Medford never received any funds from MCC.

Since MCC has filed the Administrative Dissolution Petition under the provisions of G.L. c 180 § 1 lA(c)⁴, the issue of whether it has “remaining assets” is relevant and must be supported with objective clarity.

¹ See Administrative Dissolution Petition, paragraph 7

²1 presume that this reference is incorrect and that the proper reference is to “Item 4A” since, indeed, there

is no attachment that is marked “4B”.

³ 32 Riverside Avenue was the then location of Medford Community Cablevision Inc.

* G.L. c 180 § 11A (c) states: “If the corporation has no remaining assets, the petition for dissolution shall

be submitted to the division of public charities of the office of/he attorney general setting forth hi

substance the grounds of the application for dissolution together with the forms, affidavit.’! and information

as the division may from time to time may prescribe. If the division is satisfied that the corporation has o will become inactive and that its dissolution would be in the public interest, the division may approve the  dissolution of the corporation. “

EXCLUSIVE 

July 7,2014 Frank Pilleri Page 3

The following facts underscore the need for MCC to provide additional data and information with a ‘higher level of assurance’ than the data it has presently produced.

First, the Financial Statement submitted by MCC to the Attorney General is based on a “Review” which, by accepted accounting standards, does not result in a very high level of assurance.

In his letter to the MCC Board of Directors which is included in the Financial Statement, David M Jacobson, CPA states that he “reviewed the accompanying statement of financial position ofMedford Community Cablevision Inc, as of April 30, 2014…All information included in these financial statements is the presentation of the management ofMedford Community’ Cablevision Inc”

Mr. Jacobson went on to clearly describe the scope of a “review”. He said:

“A review consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the object of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, I do not express such an opinion” [emphasis added]

Mi’. Jacobson’s statement is consistent with accepted accounting standards. In a publication compiled by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants [A1CPA] entitled “AR section 60, Framework for Performing and Reporting on Compilation and Review Engagements” there is a description of the limitations of review engagements. This is found in AR § 60.08 states:

“.OS A review differs significantly from an audit of financial statements in which the auditor obtains a high level of assurance (expressed in the auditor’s report as obtaining reasonable assurance) that the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review does not contemplate obtaining an understanding of the entity’s internal control; assessing fraud risk; testing accounting records by obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence through inspection, observation, confirmation, or the examination of source documents (for example, cancelled chech[Pi [bank images); or other procedures ordinarily performed in an audit. Accordingly, in a review, the accountant does not obtain assurance that he or she will become rnvare of all significant matters that would be disclosed in an audit. Ttierefore, a review is designed to obtain only limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for the statements to be in conformity with the applicable financial reporting framework. ” [emphasis added]

Page 4

Second, on Form 990-EZ MCC states that its Revenue for the period of May 1, 2013 to April 1, 2014 was 10,737.00,⁵   Yet the same form states that it began the year on May 1, 2013 with $133,342.00 in “cash, savings and investments”⁶. In the same Form MCC states that its Total Expenses for the period of May 1, 2013 to April 1, 2014 is $95,555.00. Without more data, these figures indicate a surplus not a deficiency.

Third, MCC held money in two accounts at the Century Bank as late as September, 2013. According to a report to the Board of Directors dated September 4, 2013 from Treasurer Cornelius Murphy the balance in one account was $23,566.99 and $12,627.73 in the other- for a combined total of $36,194.72. Multiple copies of the Treasurer’s report were strewn about on the main floor at 32 Riverside Avenue. The report was issued just one month before the MCC Board of Directors October 2, 2013 vote to dissolve.

Fourth, presuming that MCC had a budget to make improvements at 32 Riverside Avenue, it is likely that any such expenditures would have ended as of the October vote of the MCC Board to dissolve. If so, what expenditures were made after that time?

Fifth, having had a few conversations with the owner of 32 Riverside Avenue, all of which took place in early 2014,1 suspect that there is a possibility that MCC’s rental payments to the owner ceased sometime after October, 2013,1 base this suspicion on his asking me if the City would be paying the monthly rent at 32 Riverside Avenue. Of course 1 informed him that the City was not an obligated to do so and therefore would not do so. If MCC stopped paying rent- how was it spending it’s cash assets after October.

Thus, there is uncertainty- Was there a surplus? What happened to the money in the two Century Bank accounts ? What about other accounts, such as an operations account?

Accordingly, in the interest of objective clarity on the issue of whether MCC has “remaining assets”, I hereby request that MCC provide the following data to this office:

1. Copies of the ledgers of MCC containing the details of every expenditure made
   by it for the period of May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014;
2. Copies of each report of the Treasurer of MCC to the Board of Directors for the
   period of May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014;
3. Copies of the monthly statements⁷ from each bank or financial institution with
   whom MCC had funds on deposit during the period of May 1, 2013 through April
   30, 2014, including the final statement showing a zero balance if the final
   statement was issued after April 30, 2014;

⁵   See, MCC’s Form 990-EZ line 9

⁶   Sec, MCC’s Form 990-EZ line 22

The statements should include copies of cancelled checks-both sides,

5

4. The date and amount of any and all rental payments made by MCC during the
   period of May 1, 2013 through April 1, 2014;
5. The date and amount of any and all payments made by MCC to its employees,
   consultants or independent contractors during the period of May 1, 2013 through
   April 1,2014;
6. The date and amount of any and all payments made by MCC to any present or
   past members of the Board of Directors of MCC during the period of May 1, 2013
   through April 1,2014;
7. Copies of all comparable data [“comps”], inventories, acquisition documents or
   other data that support MCC’s conclusion that the fair market value of the “office,
   cable and TV equipment” as of April 1, 2014 was $400,000.00*
8. A description of what did MCC do with the dollars that it received from its
   membership for their annual dues after it ceased operations? When was the last
   time that MCC offered a class to any of its members? When did it last broadcast
   the production of one of it members? Did MCC refund any membership dues,
   either in whole or in part, received by it? If so, how much and to whom?

I respectfully request that you send this data/information to me at Medford City Hall on or before the end of business on July 24, 2014.

Hopefully, the data will reflect the accuracy of the reports that MCC has filed with the Attorney General with a sufficiently higher level of assurance than presently exists.

However, should it fail to do so or should you fail or refuse to comply with this request
on or before July 24, 2014, the City of Medford will take appropriate legal action which
will include but not be limited to filing an objectix>n–tolhe request of Medford
Community Cablevision Inc. to voluntarilyxfissolve as^a Massachusensjiot-for-profit
corporation.                                        /

See, MCC’s Form 990-EZ Part II “Sale, Exchange, Disposition, or Other Transfer of more than 25% of the Organization’s Assets.

Q

G.L. c. 12, § 8 states: “The attorney general shall enforce the due application affunds given or appropriated to puhlic charities within the commonwealth and prevent breaches of trust in the administrationt hereof.”

The Residential Parking scandal on WHDH’s Hank Phillipi Ryan newscast and the failure of City Hall to provide computer classes to residents and cable TV subscribers providing funding for access television are huge examples of Mayor McGlynn’s failure to lead.  McGlynn’s kind of leadership that is not effective and doesn’t work.

COMPUTER CLASSES FOR SENIORS AND RESIDENTS

Surrounding cities and towns, Somerville, Malden, Burlington and more, have state of the art equipment and flourishing access tv centers.  Their communities thrive because of it. In Medford millions of dollars are paid into a system that has abysmal Educational television and worse Governmental television, with Councilor Adam Knight getting the brunt of the bad audio for the better part of the past month.   Now it is easy to blame the Mayor for things that go wrong, but in this case, the Mayor, Michael J. McGlynn, is the guilty party, as guilty as the Mystic Valley Development Commission in the case

________________________________________________________________________________

CONSUMER PROTECTION:

Leadership has been needed on this issue for all the years McGlynn has been installed as Mayor.   That we had one of the worst access tv stations in the history of the world is not even an arguable point – no matter how many movie ballots were stuffed or how much of our monies were sent to the Alliance for Community Media to get cheesy awards for bad public access.  Keep in mind, ACM is a non-profit too, and the “awards” show brings in huge revenue.  ACM should FIND the best talent WITHOUT charging a fee, not have people send cash and submit a video “for review.”  So when TV3  allegedly forked over allegedly thousands of “their” alleged dollars (your cash,)  the ACM non-profit responded in kind, to the bewilderment of those who knew the truth about the MCC TV3 scam, and how scandalous it was to award a private access station under review by the Solicitor’s office, a retired judge, the auditors of Melanson Heath & Co PC, the public paying into it, and some of the news media.  “Embattled” took on a new meaning when it referenced Frank Pilleri’s Medford Community Cablevision, Inc., arguably the ONLY non-profit in Medford’s history to have the word “embattled” attached to it over such a lengthy period of time.

Now, had Francis R. Pilleri, Jr. had one ounce of integrity, he would have allowed the election to happen on January 19, 2008.   If Pilleri believed the nonsense he was spewing, he would have let the people decide.  Pilleri couldn’t.  Pilleri cannot let you see the “sloppy bookkeeping” both TV3 self-appointed Vice President Ron Delucia and the embarrassing station manager admitted to.  You had Alfred E. Newman, Jr. running around Medford with that gap tooth stupidity running up to the City Council to yap about Non-linear editing because the johnny-come-lately couldn’t bear to hear this writer eloquently inform the citizens that they can learn Final Cut Pro (for Macs; Adobe Premiere for PCs) at other TV stations, but not under a juvenile delinquent too busy lying about why he put pornography on the air at 8 PM  while blaming a producer who didn’t exist.

________________________________________________________________________

Mike McGlynn needs a good CIVIL ACTION for his failure to lead; for his showing up in the Comcast Project Open Voice video with little bug-eyed Alfred E Newman the 2nd.  You see, the above lengthy examples are the failure that McGlynn won’t apologize for; will not admit to.   McGlynn turned a blind eye to the malfeasance, City Hall asking a sports host why he didn’t want to go back to TV3 after being humiliated at Stop & Shop with the infamous “G-Spot” episode of ZAPP TV, created by the fool who was indicted by a Grand Jury for a false bomb threat.    Read the newspaper report as to who was at Mr. Zappelli’s apartment shortly before Zappelli’s arrest and ask yourself why they lived at 75 Station Landing, got bounced, and ended up at Overlook Ridge Terrace (as did Mr. & Mrs. Money Manager, Harvey Alberg and Doria Pizzotti Alberg,) and you might be outraged at the conclusion: McGlynn’s fingerprints are all over FOUR members of the TV3 crowd getting swank apartments when Zappelli admitted to a judge that he’s on food stamps and is indigent.

And let’s not even get started with the Dawn Natalia issue – just another example of McGlynn’s failure to lead. Natalia used TV3 monies to sue this writer.  She lost.   She ran out of Middlesex Superior Court as tarred and feathered as she was when she resigned from MCC TV3 rather than face a retired judge to answer tough questions.  Questions an honest woman would have answered.   In court it was learned that Natalia’s “great” experience was producing one show in Worcester for her conflict-of-interest, her husband.  Larry and Dawn Natalia screwed Medford residents, and they took those awful films and ran as fast as they could all the way back to Rhode Island.  Gary Zappelli sobbing on his Friday night filth fest to Dawn “I have so much respect for you.”  Yikes, you want to include such gibberish on your resume, Dawn Radican Natalia?  Good luck with that!

_______________________________________________________________________________

So some unknown hack filmmaker resembling the Wicked Witch of the South more than an access television Executive Director or Station Manager got bounced out of Westborough Television quicker than you can say “Open House with Ziggy Bush.”   She sued this writer over, among other things, a sweet piece of literature entitled “The Granny Snatcher.”  What Natalia did allegedly to a beautiful woman, now deceased, who owned property in Medford, is hideous and despicable.   The victory over the disgraced Natalia was a victory for Tina F. after the abuse she had to put up with at the hands of elder-basher Arthur Alan Deluca and Dawn Natalia.  But the specter hanging over this, the shadow who allowed elder people to be bashed and dragged into court or an autistic man to be sexually harassed by the Zapp TV host is Mayor Michael J. McGlynn.  McGlynn can’t escape his responsibility and his guilt at aiding and abetting the frauds who infected access TV in Medford, damage which has yet to be addressed, damage which the cable TV subscribers deserve compensation for.  Damage which still lingers as there is no access TV station operating in Medford to this day, Independence Day, an hour and 15 minutes from July 4th.

________________________________________________________________________________-

July 4th – Part II  10:44 PM

Mayor McGlynn told Frank Pilleri this when Pilleri willfully and maliciously shut down the election, an election already skewed in Pilleri’s favor with VOTING RIGHTS set to be purchased for $15.00 a piece (and free membership to TV3 with that $15.00 entry fee; they’ll say it was a half price membership and free voting, but rest assured, it was a tax on those voting for a new board of directors.  So Pilleri already had the upper hand and it still wasn’t good enough for him.) This is what McGlynn told Pilleri:

“I told him in a meeting that I stand in front of the city every two years, as do all the elected officials,” he said. “I think the members of the board should do the same thing.”

 http://medford.wickedlocal.com/article/20080306

That Frank Pilleri, Harvey Alberg, Ronald Delucia, Steve Marra, Daniel Ryan Mailhiot, Jay Ricci, Deric Dyer, Arthur Alan Deluca and others from the TV3 crowd are going to burn in hell for all eternity for their fraudulent activities at our public access station is reality.  It’s a given.  Cable TV subscribers want those individuals brought to justice in this world as well.  But the common theme, how those bad people got away with their bad behavior, falls squarely on the individual who relishes the control he has over this community with an impunity that would make Fidel Castro blush: Michael J. McGlynn.

McGlynn owes this community that he has taken advantage of. Seventy Five Thousand Dollars for Jack Dempsey to follow the Mayor around with our videocameras to make the Mayor pretty much the sole face on the P/E/G channels is the pairing of two unqualified egomaniacs who think nothing of putting themselves first and community last.  Teaching watercolor at the McGlynn School is a nice job if you can get it, but there’s a problem.  Your qualified child can’t get the gig with two daughters enjoying a little nepotism; daughters who would rather hang on to daddy’s apron strings than go find real work on their own – go to a school and demand their father not endorse them.  They can’t do it!  They don’t have the motivation or the talent.  They have Daddy Warbucks McGlynn and taxpayer monies, and they have those jobs your son or daughter could have.  And they get a free ride from the taxpayers when more qualified individuals are available. It is exactly why you have no access TV in Medford.  The last thing a suspicious Mayor wants is your suspicions on TV.

“That’s why we are here” an honest Executive Director of a TV station said to me this week, to allow for Free Speech.  Frank Pilleri stole it from you.  Paul Camuso continues to steal it from you, lying to your face, telling you HE has the keys to the First Amendment on the Government channel while the Council President – clearly not operating with a full deck and down a few quarts – censors people in public, on television, and securely documented on the DVDs of teh council meetings.  Camuso is a terrible liar and a terrible person who defended TV3 while they were eating our resources like damn termites, sucking the life out of Medford free speech, “breaking the spirit of access” according to our Budget Director when she was on the City Council.  Paul Camuso engaged in that behavior, that bad conduct, and he struts his stuff like the Emperor’s New Clothers: his malfeasance obvious to everyone but his blind self.   Guess that comes with the territory when someone shows they are mentally deficient in public on a weekly basis.  At least with summer vacation we don’t have three more weeks of Camuso putting his obvious mental illness on public spectacle on the Government Channel.  Throw the bum out.

__________________________________________________________________________

PART III

The Mayor certainly doesn’t want you to know ANYTHING about how he does business and how his family gets first dibs on everything while you, dear reader, pay through the nose and more.   Look at this document received from a public records request and see how ignorant McGlynn is to the needs of the citizens; and how complicit he’s been with Frank Pilleri’s underhanded tactics.

Pilleri’s lies to City Hall continue, as evidenced by the above e mail sent out on Tufts-Health’s e mail account, Pilleri not even able to differentiate between a professional job, writing to City Hall, and being the “president’ of a 501c3. The lines were always blurred with lazy Frank Pilleri.  It was all about his huge ego and sad lack of qualifications.   Pilleri is a sad and pathetic figure, but that doesn’t mean he should not be tried and convicted in a court of law for the damage he inflicted on Medford citizens repeatedly.    Where was McGlynn’s protection for the consumers when that insubordinate joke, Frank Pilleri, did so much harm to the community?   McGlynn was ill-prepared to be a leader if the allegations of Pilleri holding McGlynn over a barrel are to be believed. And why shouldn’t any logical citizen give some credence to the allegation of some sort of exaction being committed by Pilleri to keep the Mayor cowering in fear and failing to demand the books, meeting minutes and monies that belong to the citizens of Medford and the cable TV subscribers?

Where oh where are the Consumer Protections when a cowardly Mayor like McGlynn runs from a powerless fraud like Frank Pilleri?     No one else is running away from the creep and his accomplices.  It is scary fighting off psychopaths like Mr. Pilleri, Mr. Alberg and his hideous wife, Ronald Delucia and Arthur Alan Deluca, the sorriest and most putrid bunch of deviants to invade an access TV station and pollute it with their dishonesty and their filth.  To open the Medford Mercury and read Doria Pizzotti Alberg’s stupidity and clueless rants makes a mockery of Consumer Protection.  There’s Mrs. Fraudberg in all her fraudulent glory praising a juvenile delinquent and telling the citizens they don’t really need the access TV that her husband, Harvey Alberg, raped, pillaged and plundered, so to speak.

_______________________________________________________________________

Those frauds at MCC TV3, Pilleri, Alberg, Delucia and their sorry bunch, were supposed to allow Freedom of Expression for the residents, not themselves.  They stole it from us, the police did little, the Mayor did nothing, the City Solicitor was harassed by the Chumley Report, Stephanie Muccini Burke was vilified, poor Pat Fiorello and his wife were terrorized, and the RICO act should have been employed to rid Medford of the filth of the cronies in the despicable Frank Pilleri gang.

So how do we protect the assets of the cable TV subscribers?

RICO!

When the U.S. Attorney decides to indict someone under RICO, he or she has the option of seeking a pre-trial restraining order or injunction to temporarily seize a defendant’s assets and prevent the transfer of potentially forfeitable property, as well as require the defendant to put up a performance bond. This provision was placed in the law because the owners of Mafia-related shell corporations often absconded with the assets. An injunction and/or performance bond ensures that there is something to seize in the event of a guilty verdict.

1. Be sure that the board includes directors with the appropriate expertise
   In this regard, the board should include directors who have financial management experience, who understand financial statements and budgets, and who can interact effectively with the corporation’s auditors. Depending on the mission of the nonprofit corporation, board expertise in other areas will be necessary.

Sins of McGlynn Inventory

Challenging times need accountable leadership, something to print on Paul Camuso’s forehead with a magic marker.

Challenging times need accountable leadership, something to print on Paul Camuso’s forehead with a magic marker.

You want to find money?   It’s easy!

The McGlynn Inventory of spending foolishly is coming your way!  Soon.

Also, big BIG news on our #1 issue on the horizon.  We’re sworn to secrecy but, as always,

you will hear it here first!

Challenging times need accountable leadership, something to print on Paul Camuso’s forehead with a magic marker.

Mayor McGlynn can find a million dollars for a park, but he is livid over Six Hundred Thousand Dollars the City Council kept from the budget.   Has the Mayor, Mike McGlynn, considered handing Seventy Five Thousand or more dollars from his bloated paycheck back into the City coffers?  Challenging times need accountable leadership, something to print on Paul Camuso’s forehead with a magic marker.   The City Council can take 10K each and hand back $140,000.00  There’s $215,000.00 – we’re a third of the way there (and, NO, I’m not quoting the Kevin Kline movie Dave, even though it sounds like his solid math.)   Now, after Jack Dempsey’s awful, hideous audio, Dempsey gets fired and 75K is now available, money taken from the Government Channel. Oh, what the heck, Lisa Dunphy and Allison can go find work, there’s another 200K, we’re up to $415,000.00.  This is EASY

Challenging times need accountable leadership, something to print on Paul Camuso’s forehead with a magic marker.

God bless Krystle Campbell and her family, and God give the citizens strength to tell the Mayor that a water taxi, a garage, a memorial park and ribbon cutting are not why we are paying him $150,000.00 or more a year.  Have McGlynn fire his daughters from working at the McGlynn school and we get another huge chunk of change for the city budget. Mayor McGlynn is a pure megalomaniac, but not a pure human being.  Charter Review is absolutely essential.  More essential is Charter Change and our form of government.  There are six forms of government in Massachusetts and Medford has the worst.  It’s time for the citizens to unite and put this rogue Mayor and his crackpot Council President in their respective places: boot them out.

Challenging times need accountable leadership, something to print on Paul Camuso’s forehead with a magic marker.

Mr. Cappucci is responding to a Malden resident, a self-professed “troublemaker” who has no love for Medford and who has given evidence that she’s an obstructionist; in it to just get attention.

We have some serious work to do and distractions from someone who doesn’t even live in the city are to be ignored.

Here’s Alex Ruppenthal’s article on Charter Review, the meeting held last Wednesday night, June 25, 2014

Resident John Storella said the charter has been amended a handful of times since the city adopted Plan A in 1986, six times to authorize increases to McGlynn’s salary.

Storella, who started collecting signatures to initiate a charter review in 2008 but had to stop because of health problems, found residents at the June 26 meeting shared his criticism of the enormous power granted to Medford’s mayor under the charter.
