Westfield
Matthew Giacobbe directed his paralegal, Jason Jeski, to submit the OPRA
request above.
Matthew Giacobbe was caught using public funds ($5,000 Westfield tax dollars and $9,847.50 insurance money) to target
and harass residents of Westfield and some Westfield BOE members for speaking out
against Antisemitism spewed by a radical Rutgers Law Professor.

By The Numbers: Matthew Giacobbe Didn't Only Defend and Even Praise a Board
Member Spewing Hateful Antisemitism. It is Alleged that Giacobbe Also Helped
that "Law Professor" Retaliate Against Other Board Members Using
Westfield Tax Dollars.
Please spend some time reviewing the OPRA request
above.
The request is overly broad. It asks for a year and half
of emails. It is a fishing
expedition. It was done with malice. Its sole purpose was to intimidate and harass. Matthew Giacobbe is vindictive.
Chatham
Matthew Giacobbe’s poor legal representation invited a high-profile
lawsuit against the district that was covered in the national news.

After reading the news reports and having firsthand knowledge
of Matthew Giacobbes double dealing on the issue, I submitted the following
OPRA request to Chatham on August 30th:
I never received any response to my OPRA request far
beyond 7 business days. This is the email
exchange that ensued weeks later:
After my last email, Matthew Giacobbe or someone from
his firm prepared this letter for Peter Daquila:
Please read the letter thoroughly. Look up the cases that they cited to deem my
request "invalid". Then go back to the
top of this post and read the OPRA request that Matthew Giacobbe submitted in
Westfield.
When you are paid with public funds to represent a
Board of Education as attorney, you must abide by the law. Matthew Giacobbe has demonstrated that he is
incapable. He has violated public trust
and lost all credibility. You can’t have
double standards or no standards. You wouldn’t
violate OPRA if you weren’t doing anything wrong.
Unlike Matthew Giacobbe's OPRA request in Westfield, my OPRA request wasn't done with malice. It wasn't a fishing expedition. It was specific and policy based. Matthew Giacobbe wanted to sneak the most radical transgender policies onto districts and then cash in by opposing those very same policies in court. In Hanover, he portrayed himself as a fighter for parental rights. In Chatham, the opposite. He is the arsonist that wants to get paid to work on his fires. Taxpayers in communities represented by Matthew Giacobbe should be aware of what they are dealing with. Matthew Giacobbe is causing divisions within communities and laughing all the way to the bank.
