I am contacting the Public Integrity Unit to report corrupt practices that involve flagrant violations of the Commonwealth’s Open Meeting Law. Public Records Responses and other irrefutable documentation will fully back up the charges below.

In 2022, a property for the town’s badly needed new fire station was approved by Town Meeting following a deceptive site selection process and fraudulent procurement process orchestrated by the Town Manager at the time. The people of Bedford were lied to, Town Committees were lied to, and Town Meeting was subverted. Those lies were repeated before a Superior Court Justice at a Preliminary Injunction hearing, when the truth would have prevented 3 years of wasted funds and misplaced effort.

Furthermore, the agenda involved the nullification of the legislative Acts of 1964, which established one of the state’s oldest historic districts. A key property was wantonly targeted for destruction while other feasible sites went unexplored.

Laws were broken and the voters of Bedford were cheated. If what I have laid out here can be substantiated, the project lacks a legal basis. It should be placed on hold pending an investigation into its legitimacy.
