Nancy Cardone’s Lies About Moving our BOE Elections are Worse than You Thought…

Nancy Cardone took tens of thousands of your tax dollars that were earmarked for “education” to move our BOE Elections from November to April.  She did this shortly after her two running mates were defeated.  That showed clear motive.  It was 100% politically motivated. It was all about Nancy’s thirst to retain power at any expense.

Nancy Cardone used dishonest hack, Matthew Giacobbe, to draw up a Resolution stating that the move was for “purposes of achieving greater efficiency in voter turnout.”  An article by Kristi Cattafi and Megan Burrow quickly debunked that claim.  Link to article below: 

Lodi moves school elections back to April. Here's what changes (northjersey.com)

Here are two more items to add to the list of Nancy Cardone lies:

Lie:  Nancy Cardone said she was moving the Election to let people vote on the School Budget.

Truth:  The Lodi voters will NOT be voting on the school budget.

Lie:  Nancy Cardone and Matthew Giacobbe spoke of efficiency in voter turnout.

Truth:  Nancy Cardone cut our Election Day voting hours from 6 AM- 8 PM to 2 PM- 8 PM.  She cut our voting day from 14 hours to 6 hours.  Nancy Cardone took away our opportunity and access to County run Early Voting Sites.  I had been voting in Garfield on a Sunday for the last few Lodi BOE Elections held in November.  Nancy Cardone removed that option.

Nancy Cardone and her five board puppets took our tax money to limit our access to vote.   They are using our tax dollars to work against us.

The Lodi Board of Education did not budget for an additional Election.  That means Nancy Cardone took money that should have been going into the classrooms to pursue her desire for power and control.

That is NOT someone that cares about students.  That is someone consumed with herself.

The only recourse for the Lodi taxpayers that were deceived and defrauded by Nancy Cardone and Matthew Giacobbe is to make sure you vote in this Board race and make sure you soundly reject Nancy Cardone’s newest hand puppets.

You must elect people that properly use public funds for education and not for corrupting our Elections with voter suppression.
