Vinny Martin should never have been allowed on the Lodi BOE while he was resource officer.

The conflict was obvious at the time.  Someone on the BOE should have known better.  People get paid to know that.

When I mentioned that conflict on this blog, Vinny Martin whined for months.   


This appeared in an article about Garfield today on northjersey:

“"The commission considers the regular, daily interaction of the board of member with the schools and its personnel to be in substantial conflict with his duties on the board," The New Jersey School Ethics Commission's Advisory Opinion said. 

Stewart's current position with the Garfield Police Department involves regular contact with students, teachers and other school personnel and he routinely conducts school safety checks, he said.”
