Link to “Giacobbe” bills on this month’s agenda via
OPRA:
As you can see, Marc Wenczel is billing the most even
though the board was told Matthew Giacobbe would be performing the legal work
for the district.
As you can scroll down, Mark Wenczel billed
excessively for research on complete nonsense like “lame duck appointments” and
LEAP appointments (Licata after school program). A school attorney should not be billing for research on those types of items. Furthermore, I was still board president at
the time of those bills and was not making any appointments nor did I ever
reach out to him on any of those matters.
Mark Wenczel has been indecisive on the most basic general questions.
Shame on board members for allowing this firm to lie
about its contract, its attorney assignment and everything else. Shame on board members for allowing this
political firm to rip off the Lodi taxpayers.
This firm should have been removed in September as soon as its first bills
were submitted before the board ever negotiated a contract or voted on a
contract. Unfortunately, I was fighting alone
on these abuses.
The way this firm has behaved, don’t be surprised if
Frank Quatrone walks away with his illegal sick day payout. The Giacobbe firm has taken complete
advantage of the Lodi taxpayers. Why
would it have a problem with others doing the same?
