Nancy Cardone Has the Worst Conflicts of Interest With All Negotiations, Personnel, and Other Committees (for all the obvious reasons)...
More really bad guidance from Matthew Giaccobe, Douglas Petty and all board members that didn't see the obvious problem with Nancy Cardone being involved with any negotiations or personnel.
Nancy Cardone is listed as the Chair for the "Personnel Committee".
On paper, Nancy Cardone will chair a committee that discusses the employment of Nancy Cardone's family. Nancy Cardone will be discussing individuals recommended by her son who is the Middle School Principal. Nancy Cardone will be discussing the appointments that impact her sister-in-law who is the President of the Lodi teacher's union.
In reality, Nancy Cardone will be influencing all appointments because Doug Petty is out of a job if he doesn't do what what the Cardone political group tells him to do. Doug Petty must take care of and protect Nancy's family. Doug Petty has shown to be a follower, not a leader. He has done nothing but maintain the status quo for the nepotism families running the district.
The Giacobbe political firm has no shame. It has facilitated and encouraged the most unethical behavior. Did they ever consider the public perception of having Nancy Cardone chair a personnel committee or being anywhere near negotiations when she has relatives in every bargaining unit?

Phil Murphy and Other Tyrannical Governors Killed Small Businesses and the American Dream...
Phil Murphy killed seniors, veterans, and others living in nursing homes.
Phil Murphy killed small businesses.
Phil Murphy killed public education.
Phil Murphy killed the Middle Class.
Phil Murphy killed the rule of law and the constitution.
Phil Murphy killed the Open Public Records Act and all government transparency.
Instead of trying to rebuild what he destroyed, Phil Murphy's top priority spotlighted in his first commercials is his support of killing babies.
Killing everyone and everything is Phil Murphy's record and his campaign.
Former Lodi BOE Members Jonathan Carafa, Michael Nardino, and Dominic Miller Were “Reprimanded” By the State on June 11, 2020 for Committing Ethics Violations...

This is the 3rd “Reprimand” and “Settlement” involving either Joseph Licata or the 3 named above that I only learned about after filing OPRA requests. I filed the complaints. I provided all the evidence. I was never informed of any of the outcomes.
It’s amazing how the most unethical Lodi political families get everything swept under the rug because of their connections to the Murphy administration.

As for me, it was like I committed the crime of the
century for writing about Phil Murphy and the NJEA on this blog:
We live in an unjust state where there are different
standards applied to different people.

The Government Just Keeps Digging a Deeper Hole...
Being the covid "vaccines" don't prevent covid or produce immunity to covid, then by definition they are not "vaccines". So what are they? Instead of changing the definition of "vaccine" the CDC should try to coin a new term for its failed experiment.

Lodi's Solution to Flooding: Build 500 More Apartments...
Phil Murphy, Joseph Lagana and all the other background politicians on the November ballot love their photo ops but have done nothing to address the flooding problem during the decades they spent talking about it and putting it on campaign mailers.
Phil Murphy says it's all because of climate change. However, the worst flooded areas all happen to be in overdeveloped cities and towns that have nowhere for water to drain.
So when Scott Luna pushes hundreds of more apartments in town (Garibaldi and anywhere else where someone with money and influence wants to build), the public should ask: how will that affect draining? Is Lodi already too developed for a town of two square miles? How will their overdevelopment impact future floods? Have they ever looked at the draining problems in Hoboken?
All the politicians in the photo ops say they need federal money. So why are they parading around the Clerk, Sheriff, and others that have nothing to do with the matter? Politics at its worst.
Some people work to get things done. Others like Lagana just talk and take photos (and rip off the towns in his district with legal bills).
Touching Each Other. Laughing It Up. No Social Distancing. No Masks.
As Phil Murphy has ordered school districts to spend all their time, money, and resources going after students that may not be wearing masks properly, Phil Murphy and Scott Luna are touching each other, in each other's faces, and laughing it up mask free as others are suffering.
If Phil Murphy wants to be the mask nazi, he should live by example.

Douglas Petty and Nancy Cardone Continue Their War on Transparency. They Are Now Deleting the "Hearing of Citizens" from their Meeting Minutes.
And Removing Transparency Leads to More Corruption
Because Douglas Petty did not provide any video online for the June 16th meeting, and because the Board voted on significant items that were not on the agenda, I looked this morning at the minutes for the meeting to see what took place. Noticeably missing from the minutes are any “Hearing of Citizens/Public Comment” sections. I know there were public comments because I submitted public comments. I was told they were discussed at the meeting but was not provided any answers. These were the public comments I submitted:
1) I noticed that this board removed Columbus
Day from the calendar for next school year.
I haven't found anyone that can recall a public discussion from the
board prior to the removal. An OPRA
response did not turn over any email conversations among the Superintendent and
Board about removing Columbus Day. Whose
idea was it to remove Columbus Day and how was it carried out? More and more people are waking up and
getting sick and tired of the left-wing indoctrination and cancel culture
coming from our publicly funded government schools. Your negativity and divisiveness are not
productive at a time when students are not receiving an adequate education.
2) Approximately how much was the Pay-to-Play
firm "Cleary Giacobbe" paid by Lodi from July 2020 thru June
2021?
3) Why
is this Superintendent and Board requiring students to wear masks in 90-degree
temperatures? Last week, Wilson School
held something referred to as a “walkathon" in a small area in the school
parking lot. Students were walking around
in circles in 90-degree temperatures while wearing masks. They were outside. Emphasis on outside. Countless people were commenting that it was
painful to watch and that prisoners are treated better. Sometimes you have to use common sense and
consider what can happen when people are participating in physical activities
in 90-degree temperatures with masks covering their faces.
4) On the June 16th agenda, you list a $4,400
stipend for Francine Santos (Lea President and Sister-in-Law of Nancy Cardone). It's referred to as a Title I Extended Year
Stipend. It's for 'Family
Engagement". During this past
school year, what types of "Family Engagement" took place for the
$4,400 stipend? Do you have dates and
times? Lodi needed a corrective action plan in 2019 after the Office of Fiscal
Accountability and Compliance (OFAC) did a Title 1 Audit of the district. Is the district in compliance with its
Corrective Action Plan?
5) Does this Superintendent and Board ever
intend on returning to in-person meetings?

Douglas Petty and the Board posted Public Comments
just months ago. District minutes always
provided public comments (some were more descriptive than others depending on
who sat on the Board).

comment:

special meeting minutes.pdf (lodi.k12.nj.us)
Time and time ago, Douglas Petty has worked very hard
to keep public records from getting to the public. He was never up for the job in Lodi. The board members that ran the superintendent
search and chose Petty made a big mistake. He is a very expensive suit but an empty one.
Joseph Garcia is not a school attorney. He is a politician. His employment is dependent on Joseph Lagana
carrying him along as he jumps from one political firm to the next. The Giacobbe firm has proved to be the most expensive,
unethical, political, and vindictive firm ever used by Lodi.
The interim BA is collecting a fat pay check, doing
the minimum, and not being held accountable for anything (following the pattern
of the previous interims). Douglas Petty
and the Board have failed to hire and retain people for some of the most
important positions like Business Administrator and Supervisor of Special
Services.
Nancy Cardone continues to be the Board President that
eliminates work sessions and hides public records. She only sits on the board so her nepotism and
quid pro quos can land her son in the Superintendent’s office someday (making
him the least deserving, right below Nancy Cardone’s sister Paula Fiduccia).
There are 9 board members. Did the board ever vote to eliminate Public
Comments from their meeting minutes? If not, who made the decision? Not one of
the 9 board members looked at their monthly minutes as they were voting to
approve and asked: what happened to the Public Comment section?
It's not just Public Comments that have been concealed by Doug Petty and this board. They won't provide the public with a Detailed Budget. They won't provide the public with legal invoices and bills. There is no dispute that these are public records. There is no dispute that these records have always been made available to the public in the past. The only reason to withhold public records or delete Public Comments is to hide some wrongdoing which leads to more corruption.
