Link to the Licata “settlement” and “reprimand” that I
saw tonight for the first time:
The most serious violation involving Joseph Licata and
Jamie Ciofalo was covered up by the Murphy administration. What
Licata and Ciofalo did should have warranted a public corruption investigation
by the state. Instead, Licata got a slap on the wrist for a less serious charge where he voted on all of Frank Quatrone's bonuses and "merit" bonus goals (without invoking "doctrine of necsessity) while Licata's wife was a teacher working under Quatrone.
The School Ethics Commission embodies a bunch of
hypocrites that once again contradicted themselves and swept public corruption
under the rug. Below is their very own
notice where they found probable cause for the Licata violations:
Although I initiated the complaint and the SEC ruled
in my favor throughout 2016, the settlement was never shared with me. Someone from Teaneck tipped me off last
Spring that the attorney general’s office under Gurbir Grewal settled with Licata (a sweetheart deal)
because the attorney general’s cousin was added to the board of directors of
the Lodi Boys and Girls Club where Joseph Licata is the director.
I didn’t think this could possibly be true because a final decision was never made public. I was told by a Deputy AG that I would be updated throughout.

I saw this settlement for the first time only a few
minutes ago. I filed an OPRA
request a few days ago.
Violations
of the School Ethics Commission and Lamont Repollet:
1) A final decision was NOT posted on the SEC website.
2) After the SEC found probable cause for two code violations, it made something disappear without providing any analysis.
3) A settlement is not presented as an option by the SEC.

Katie Sobko never reported on the reprimand, probable cause
notice and everything else. She never
reported on the blatant cover-up by the state either.
The school ethics commission is a political
arm of Governor Phil Murphy. It has been
weaponized to go after political opponents.
It has become a tool to cover up public corruption.
The SEC went against Frank Quatrone (hiring Scorzetti's girlfriend, etc.) only to call a
special meeting shortly after and cover up its actions. The SEC never found probable cause against me
for my blog posts. The SEC ruled in my
favor for years. Then it “suspended” me
for my personal blog (where I expose corruption) after I was already off the
board.
The SEC has no credibility. It is a farce. What it did for Joe Licata topped it all.

Ciofalo had done:
