In 2019, it was BOE policy that all public labor agreements be posted on the district website. Unfortunately, that transparency measure was eliminated as Lodi taxpayers have seen their BOE budget increase tens of millions of dollars.

Link to decision from the State that led to a lawsuit

“Cleary Giacobbe” billed the Elmwood Park taxpayers to
bring a frivolous suit. You don’t have
to be an attorney to know that their actions were frivolous and out of pure spite.
I have been posting on this blog for years how the Giacobbe firm has been losing cases throughout the State of New Jersey and looking very ridiculous. They are not acting as credible school attorneys but rather as political hacks acting on behalf of incompetent boards of education.

and other elected officials listed as “Partners”).
Taxpayers in towns represented by “Cleary Giacobbe” should
OPRA the legal bills for every frivolous case brought by "Giacobbe" and lost by "Giacobbe". They should demand that their
incompetent board members or council members hire credible, honest attorneys to
provide representation based on law.
The firm is nothing but unprofessional. The decision concluded:
