Recently, Many on Social Media Have Been Questioning Why Matt Platkin Had Participated in NJEA "Screenings" with Sean Spiller and Why Sean Spiller Was Never Charged with Stealing Benefits and Stipends as Montclair Mayor.

 

Matt Platkin charged part-time Wildwood officials with fraudulently attaining benefits but protected Sean Spiller for doing the same:

The NJEA link being shared with Spiller next to Platkin lists Debra Kwapniewski as participating (observer for Bergen County) in the “screening” to endorse Phil Murphy in 2021:

At the time that Kwapniewski was participating in these NJEA activities, she was being paid by the Lodi taxpayers for the entire school year for some medical leave.  During that fully paid “leave”, she sold her house in Lodi and purchased a home in Ontario County, New York.  She was able to sell her house in Lodi and relocate to Ontario County.  She was able to participate in NJEA meetings.  And she was paid by the Lodi taxpayers for an entire school year not to work. Debra Kwapniewski's brother, August Defalco, was BOE President Nancy Cardone's campaign treasurer at the time of this arrangement. The NJEA funded their campaigns.

NJEA corruption costs New Jersey taxpayers' big money and it has destroyed public education.
