A few problems:
1) The School
Ethics Commission hasn't yet reviewed the controversial “Doctrine of Necessity” resolution that was passed
by the Lodi BOE on January 24th.
The SEC’s next meeting is February 27th.
2) The School
Ethics Commission hasn’t dealt with the ethics complaint that arrived in Trenton
last Wednesday and questions Quatrone's “doctrine of necessity”.
3) “Doctrine
of Necessity” isn't necessary for the superintendent’s contract negotiations. The advisory opinion below was provided to
the Board prior to the January 24th meeting.
4) Nardino, Carbonetti, and Leto all have
serious conflicts of interest and shouldn’t be anywhere near the superintendent’s
negotiations. All three were named in
the recent ethics complaint and have demonstrated that they cannot be impartial
with anything pertaining to the superintendent.
5) This action is even at odds with what Quatrone argued for over the summer. He argued that "doctrine of necessity" should be used so he can negotiate with the entire Board. Now he wants to negotiate with 3 or 4? He isn't even consistent with his own schemes.

6) Joe Leto has a conflict in appointing these
committees. He is definitely going down
the same path as Joe Licata and Dominic Miller.
7) The Board is purposely keeping me off of
any negotiation committees because I can be fair. I am not bought and paid for like other
members. I am not looking for anything. I
thoroughly research matters before the Board.
The
Lodi taxpayers are being set up for another very costly scam. This is exactly what I warned the town about leading up to the November election.
