| Occhipinti Campaign lit: Frank Raia's $92K investment |
Well folks, campaign season has not begun, it is early. In fact, the BoE slates have not announced, yet. But, I was reminded of something by an Anon this morning.
A former City Council candidate-now incumbent School Board candidate and his City Council running-mate now running for School Board disseminating lies about Hoboken Public Schools on campaign literature supporting the"One Hoboken Moving Forward" slate.
Since it's early in the season, GA will point out the three glaring whoppers.
1. Per-Pupil Costs. The per-pupil costs are those proposed for 2012-2013, and the numbers available to the Occhipinti Campaign and available to the public on the Hoboken Board of Education web site. It's called the User-Friendly Budget 2012-2013.

2. University of Notre Dame Costs (*source: cappex.com)
$55,855 Annual Cost to Attend3. The CRAP "Wall Street Journal Poll." In August 2012, GA debunked this Truila Real estate poll that 'mysteriously' ended up in the Wall Street Journal just in time for the 2012 School Board race. You'll never guess who was the former Education Reporter at the Wall Street Journal? Hint: not a fan of Kids First. Read:
Cost Breakdown
$42,464 tuition
$11,934 on campus room & board;
$950 books
$507 fees
America's Least Attractive PollThat's it for this sleepy August day.
WSJ Porno for the Dark Side
This literature full of inaccuracies was approved by people that were either on the board in the past or reside on other school boards and city boards.
ReplyDeleteIt is disgraceful that Frank Raia an Ex-Board member and sewerage commissioner and Hola Charter School officer approved this literature. It's a wonder what else he is distorting.
Frances Rhodes Kearns and Peter Biancomano are sitting board members and it could be ascertained that they have no working knowledge of the very board they sit on.
Carmelo Garcia board member at the time indirectly supported this lit as a supporter of this ticket. This of course surprises no one.
