1) Without using semantics or answering a question that is not being asked, can someone please provide the public with the true figure of what Cleary Giacobbe billed during its first year with the district. This would be for the time period of July 1, 2019 thru June 30, 2020. From billing $900 to review a basic OPRA request to paying multiple attorneys to participate in same zoom meeting, the public can see a clear pattern of waste and abuse from this politician run law firm. Lodi taxpayers have been taken adantage with these outrageous bills.
2) Nancy Cardone's sister in law, Lodi teacher union president Francine Santos, ran a union campaign to prevent any in person learning in the Lodi schools. During a special afternoon meeting this past Friday, Nancy Cardone voted for the teacher union's wishes. Nancy Cardone took $4,000 from the NJEA during her last campaign and has countless relatives employed in the Lodi schools. I hope the public is aware of Nancy Cardone's conflicts of interest so it can see that Nancy Cardone always puts her family's special interests before that of Lodi students.
3) Trustee Sharon Salvacion also took $4,000 from the NJEA and has a daughter that is employed in the Lodi schools (member of the LEA). Sharon voted to take away all in person learning options from Lodi students. I hope the public is aware of Sharon's conflicts of interest so it can see that she always puts special interest groups and her own special interests before that of Lodi students.
