From Debra’s complaint:
3. Mr. Curioni created and posts to a blog
about Lodi Borough and Lodi School District.
On numerous occasions including May 27, 2017, Mr. Curioni’s blog post
has referred to Ms. Kwapniewski as, “Debbie Downer.” Additionally, he has implied that Ms. Kwapniewski
was not qualified for her teaching position with the District which she assumed
in 2001 and rather that she obtained her employment via patronage. Said blog comments are patently false and
cast a negative light upon Ms. Kwapniewski in both her role as union representative
and in her role as a teaching staff member in the district (Exhibit A).
Via patronage?
Debra Defalco was hired by the Lodi BOE as a pre-k
teacher in 2001.
August Defalco was hired by the Lodi BOE as “District
Technology Coordinator” shortly before. Despite
his high salary, other people were brought in to do his job.
August Defalco sat on the Lodi Board of Education in the nineties.
August Defalco sat on the Lodi Board of Education in the nineties.
August Defalco managed the political campaigns for the
“machine” during that time period. His mailing permit (No. 35) is on all their campaign fliers.
There is no question that this brother and sister team
received their jobs via patronage. Being
vicious during campaigns pays off in Lodi.
Just ask board candidate Nancy Cardone.
“Debbie Downer” was an SNL skit:
