School Board election

Dear Fellow Lacey Township Resident:

Although N.J. State Law prohibits political involvement in School Board Elections, Lacey Township Mayor (David Most) and Deputy Mayor (Gary Quinn) are attempting to control Lacey Schools. 

Here are some facts worth considering before you vote:

·      As State Grant money to Towns shrinks, it is getting harder for local politicians to find jobs for their family and friends. 

·      Beginning in 2011 Most and Quinn asked the Lacey School Board to move money from the schools to the Municipal Budget. 

·      The Schools did contribute some money to help the Town stay under the TAX CAP, but that was not enough for Quinn and Most.

·      Quinn wants to control that money and he wants to steer it away from educational purposes.

·      The only way to get the money is to control the School Board! 

·      Quinn and Most are running three candidates for School Board: Donna McAvoy, Shawn Giordano and Josephine Whittleigh. 

·      In the past 5 years the Township Municipal Budget, has increased by at a much greater rate then the school budget.   The township bonded vehicles, playgrounds, equipment and the employee salaries from the illegal furlough program.

Who are the Candidates?

·      Josephine Whittleigh is Gary Quinn’s personal secretary at his place of business.  Quinn is responsible for her income.

·      Shawn Giordano is a member of the Republican Club with aspirations of higher office.  Quinn and Most control future appointments.

·      Shawn Giordano’s children do not even attend Lacey Schools.

·      Donna McAvoy is a teacher with the Galloway Township School district who is a member of the Teacher’s Union and gets a salary of $79, 129.00 for a 10 month Job.

What are Quinn and Most’s intentions?

·      Gary Quinn’s wife is a Teacher in Lacey Township and earns $81,952 for a 10-month job.

·      Gary Quinn’s son is collecting a $51,336.00 disability pension from Ocean Township (Waretown) after a 4.5-year career.

·      Gary Quinn’s daughter is making  $44,321.00 as a clerk for Toms River Township.

·      Gary Quinn’s sister is a teacher making $81, 260.00 for a 10-month position.

·      Gary Quinn’s brother in law is collecting 81,260.00 working in the Lacey Township Municipal Building.

·      Gary Quinn’s future daughter-in-law is one of the newest employees in the Lacey Township Municipal building.

·      Dave Most’s wife is a teacher at the Pinelands Regional School district and earns $55,380.00 for a 10-month job.

·      Dave Most’s daughter just got her first public job in the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, which will pay $90,000. 

There are running out of Money and Jobs in the Town and have discovered an untapped well in the schools.

Who is going to Serve Lacey’s Children better?
