&lt;lmullane@medford-ma.gov&gt;Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2026 at 09:37:04 PM EDTSubject: City Council Resolution requesting you to fund the legal defense in Chertok vs. Medford law suit 
Dear Mayor Lungo-Koehn, Last
night the City Council passed a resolution requesting you to fund the
legal defense of the Values-Aligned Local Investments Ordinance that was
passed last year.&nbsp; This resolution was supported by the overwhelming
Medford residents who testified at last night's meeting.&nbsp; I am now
following up on this request to urge you to support this resolution and
fund this defense. As part of a group of Medford residents who are supporting this ordinance, I am respectfully requesting that you contact <a href="https://www.rose-law.net/practice-areas/defense-of-governmental-investigations-prosecuti/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Rose Law Partners, LLP,</a>&nbsp;which&nbsp;specializes
in defending local cities and communities in order to have them
litigate this lawsuit.&nbsp; Rose Law Partners is substantially smaller than
KP law, has lower overhead costs, and is already familiar with the
background of the Values-Aligned Investments Ordinance and the lawsuit
that was filed against our City, the City Council, and yourself.&nbsp; In
that capacity they have already offered a reduced hourly rate for their
defense, which could save our City a significant amount of money, as
compared with a large firm with a much larger overhead.&nbsp; Furthermore
this law firm would not be encumbered by previous opposition to the
Ordinance. We would greatly
appreciate if you were to hire this law firm to handle the legal
defense of this ordinance, since it would demonstrate a dedication to
the democratic process, and the will of the voters, as well as a spirit
of open-mindedness in an ability to participate in following through to
support the will of the voters in&nbsp;spite of your opposition to
our&nbsp;Values-Based Investment Ordinance. We welcome your leadership and
look forward to working together with you in this effort. Respectfully submitted, Munir N. Jirmanus, Ph.D.Physicist - Educator

Please join us in May for a beautiful new adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic "Little Women"&nbsp; -- the first time it has been produced in Massachusetts.Tickets:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.afdtheatre.org/up-next" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.afdtheatre.org/up-next</a>&nbsp;
One reviewer noted of Lauren Gunderson's version:&nbsp;
"One of the best versions I’ve seen. These are not porcelain figures with easily smoothed-over eccentricities, but real human girls who struggle and quarrel, sometimes viciously, yet have intense loyalty to each other. It also shows how fun they are. One of the joys of reading the book is that you want to be part of the March family, with their homemade theatricals and newspapers. The hijinks and squabbles at the start make the sorrows at the end more poignant."
May 1-17, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm; Sundays at 2pm.
Tickets $25
