Nancy Cardone, Please Explain Dennis Frohnapfel's Exit...


Nancy Cardone just gave Dennis Frohnapfel a new contract a few weeks ago. Now he is gone. Why? Something triggered it. What was her last conversation with him? No 60 day notice? No job postings for a replacement?

Nancy Cardone has been too corrupt for too long. Nancy Cardone has covered up wrongdoings for too long.

It's time for Nancy Cardone to answer to the voters for her decades of abuse. She takes all of your money (for herself and her family) and only delivers chaos and corruption. 







Another Controversial Hire by the Cardone Board...


It is being reported that the Lodi Board of Education's next Business Administrator is Nicholas Cipriano (Nancy Cardone's last Business Administrator is suddenly gone after receiving a new contract just a few weeks ago). 

Cipriano has appeared many news stories recently (three linked below):

Lodi's Mayor and Council Continue to Celebrate and Encourage Everything Self-destructive...


The Lodi Mayor and Council never explained its major flip-flop on Marijuana businesses in Lodi. It was just 2019 when they were bragging anout passing an ordinance to keep Marijuana businesses out of Lodi:

I hope the mayor and council attend the grand opening and post pictures of themselves taking part in the joint rolling sessions.  That is very positive for a community.

It's Not the Lodi Taxpayers Responsibility to Pay for Doug Petty's Meals, Dennis Frohnapfel's Meals, and the Meals of Others...

I OPRA-ed this invoice because it was one of many questionable bills that appeared this year. Excesses and abuse.


Doug Petty received a $27,000 raise this year. Mike Cardone received a $17,236 raise this year.  Dennis Frohnapfel,  an interim, is paid more than real business administrators that actually fulfill the duties of the position.  They can pay for their own meals.


Is Nancy Cardone shoving her face at these "Administrative Luncheons" and then approving the bills? Who actually has been eating Mucci's (and others) throughout this school year and then making the Lodi taxpayers pay? 


Doug Petty does lots of favors for Teacher Union President Francine Santos. Can't she have the NJEA pay for Petty's meals and for the meals of the other administrators? The NJEA bribes everyone else. The Giacobbe attorneys are really raking it in from this board of education.  Maybe they can pay for the meals. They like to pay-to-play.  


Lodi isn't an affluent town. Lodi residents are struggling to pay their grocery bills. Lodi taxpayers should not be paying for the affluent, greedy politicians/administrators.







Matthew Giacobbe Plays Politics With Cedar Grove and It's Police Department...

Matthew Giacobbe is incapable of telling the truth.  Everything he does is based on power, politics, and money.

"Lodi By The Numbers" Has Been Censored by Many Search Engines for Posts Against COVID Vaccines...



Recently, many people have told me that my blog no longer appears on search returns for Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc. I was aware of this. The censorship began last Winter after I posted many stories critical of the COVID vaccines (specifically links to Emerald Robinson). The search engines reported that they barred blogs that provided "vaccine misinformation".  The posts turned out to be true.

For years, this blog was a top search return for anything "Lodi" on Bing,  DuckDuckGo, etc.

This blog still shows on Google search returns. 

At this point, most viewers have a link to the blog and don't need search engines that censor truth and manipulate search returns.

With his $213,272+ Salary, Douglas Petty, Who Had No Prior Experience as Superintendent and Just Plays Politics for the Cardones and Lunas, is Paid Well Above the National Average and State Averages of NJ, NY, and PA.....

 

Nj.com reported today:


Recent posts on Doug Petty’s absurd raise and why he received it:

The NJ Office of the State Comptroller Was Aware that Lodi Was Violating State Law for Years with Blatantly Illegal Sick Day Payouts. Yet, Lodi Wasn't Included in this Audit. The State Covers Up for Lodi.

Link to report posted today:

https://www.nj.gov/comptroller/reports/2021/20220707.shtml

I was fighting illegal sick day payouts in Lodi for years. I was fighting alone. The State is useless. They issue reports like this to pretend like they are doing something. They do nothing.  They are all talk, no action.  They ask for tips, acknowledge people are violating the law, and then they do nothing.

Lodi politicians/employees illegally took millions from Lodi in sick day payouts just in the last few years. They got away with it. The State did nothing. Lodi taxpayers got screwed.

Matthew Giacobbe is complicit. Nancy Cardone is complicit. The entire Lodi mayor and council- Scott Luna, Vincent Martin, Emil Carafa, Albert DiChiara, and Joe Leto are complicit. Marc Schrieks is complicit. Borough Attorney Alan Spiniello is complicit. Lodi CFO Charles Cuccia is complicit. Lodi Police Chief Donald Scorzetti is complicit. Frank Belli is complicit. Many others in Lodi are complicit as well. 

This report shows that I was right all along. I was ignored and Lodi was robbed. Lesson learned: there is no justice and there are different standards for different people. The Lodi politicians and their politician run law firms have many close connections in the State that continually cover up for their lawlessness and theft.

The Lodi Mayor and Council Hired an Additional “Special Labor Counsel” Because the Firm “Cleary Giacobbe” Engages in Pay-to-Play and Lists State Senator Joseph Lagana as a Partner….

 

“Cleary Giacobbe” is a Pay-to-Play law firm that engages in the most dishonest practices and billing.  The firm acquires its public contracts through campaign contributions and political connections.

 

Lodi By The Numbers: Once Again, Lodi was Deceived and Taken Advantage by a Politician Run Law Firm… (lodioverhaul.blogspot.com)

 

Lodi By The Numbers: Marc Schrieks’ Pay-to-Play Abuses & County Politics Has Resulted in Unprecedented Legal Bills and Payments to State Senator Joseph Lagana’s Law Firm… (lodioverhaul.blogspot.com)\

 

Joseph Lagana, a partner with Cleary Giacobbe has made campaign contributions to Lodi Board of Education candidates and the current Lodi Mayor and Council.  Now his firm is receiving a noncompetitive No Bid public contracts with both public entities. 

 

Lodi already overpaid hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal bills each year with Alan Spiniello, Florio, etc. Now, Lodi is adding another firm strictly for politics and not necessity.

 

Joseph Leto voted against negotiating a contract with "Cleary Giacobbe "because of its high costs when he was on the Lodi Board of Education.  Somehow Cleary Giacobbe initially got a contract with the Lodi Board of Education without ever negotiating a contract or having the Board of Education vote on the terms of a contract.  Matthew Giacobbe was claiming he was in Italy to avoid negotiations with the board as Robert Brown was signing the terms of a contract with Matthew Giacobbe in place of the BOE and around the BOE. 


Lodi By The Numbers: Last Year, Matthew Giacobbe and Bob Brown (Two Scammers) Violated District Policy when they removed the Board President’s Signature line from Giacobbe’s contract and never presented the contract to the board for a vote… (lodioverhaul.blogspot.com)


I was the only board member at the time to call out this abuse and vote NO on every legal bill ever submitted by Cleary Giacobbe.  Apparently, Joe Leto’s concerns about Giacobbe’s high costs no longer exist.

 

Matthew Giacobbe and his attorneys are the most vindictive people that will stop at nothing to retaliate against anyone exposing their bad practices.  They are not only a bad law firm.  They are menacing.

News 12 Has Really Turned into a Very Sad, Sorry Sight.....


Tonight's lead story was five people embarrassing themselves in Englewood:



What was once "local news" turned into a 24 hour vaccine commercial two years ago.  Now, News 12  just pushes made up January 6th "insurrection" propoganda and an advocacy for murdering babies.  

It's sad that most viewers tune in only for the weather and have to see such a pathetic display.

When the vaccine bribe money dries up, Channel 12 will be in the same boat as the Record Newspaper.  No news, no viewers, and no money.
