Marc Capizzi just asked the Board to form an ad hoc
committee to review Lincoln School reports.
We all saw what happened last time. Lies, fraud, and a loss of $400,000.
Joe Leto just formed an ad hoc committee for the
selection of Board Attorney.
It is the job of the full Board to interview prospective
candidates and select the Board Attorney.
A few months ago, Leto formed an ad hoc committee to
write all of the interview questions that other Board members would ask when filling a
vacant Board seat.
Board members should choose their own interview
questions. Board members take an oath
not to surrender their independence.
What are these ad hoc committees really about?
They
are designed to shut the public out. The public is not allowed to attend these
meetings. Committee meetings are not
recorded. Minutes are not kept. There is no public record.
They
are designed to circumvent the Board. Committee members are not working on behalf
of the Board. They are working around
the Board. The full Board is not
selecting the committee, defining its role, or setting committee
assignments. The committees are
rogue.
It’s
a way for Capizzi and Quatrone to influence decisions that ultimately belong to
the Board.
Capizzi and Quatrone are 2/5 of these committees. Board members are supposed to select the
Board Attorney, not Capizzi and Quatrone.
Board members are supposed to interview candidates for vacant Board
seats, not Capizzi and Quatrone.
Divide
and conquer.
If any Board members demonstrate independent thinking, Capizzi,
Quatrone, and Leto will not ask any two of them to sit on the same committee. It’s
a way to drown out one voice of reason with four voices of deception.
To sum it up, if Capizzi and Quatrone want to hide
something or act on behalf of the Board, they have Joe Leto form an ad hoc
committee.
