People from other towns that are reading this blog
will think this is a joke. No joke. This is the agenda used by Nancy Cardone in
2014 and 2015. One and half pages of
roman numerals on an empty template.
If you attended a meeting, you still would not have any idea of what was being voted on. Meetings lasted ten minutes. Everyone shook hands and kissed. Everyone voted YES on the agenda. And the meeting was over.
During Cardone’s first stint on the board, I requested
many times that the board provide a real agenda on-line and at their
meetings. It never happened. I provided meeting agendas from all
neighboring towns to show Lodi what an agenda should look like. Cardone and her team didn’t care. I submitted OPRA requests for basic meeting
agendas. I was told to wait 30 days for
the meeting minutes. The Open Public
Records Act was violated by Cardone and her team. Attorneys wanted to sue the district on my
behalf and also sue for their legal fees.
I saved the district money by not pursuing legal action after my OPRA requests
for a basic meeting agenda was denied.
Why would Nancy Cardone not want to provide the public
with a meeting agenda? Nancy Cardone did
not want the public to see how many jobs, promotions, and stipends her family
was receiving.
Nancy Cardone has been the least transparent board member. There is a clear pattern showing Nancy
