For all you newbies Education Matters is backed by JCEA. You asked why are my taxes and rents keep going up? Nobody is asking for accountability and better performance on a near $1B budget because when you have the union push in their favored candidates there is no true oversight. For the record 8 out of 9 current board members are backed by JCEA. That’s worse than Team Fulop set up in city hall. Lone exception being Alexander Hamilton, who I’ve seen on zoom meetings as the lone dissenting voice in a roomful of union’s cronies. He’s sadly outnumbered and frankly we need more board members like him and less Velasquez. Here are the current board members:

Gerald Lyons - JCEA backed
Gina Verdibello - JCEA backed
Natalia Ioffe - JCEA backed
Younas Barkouch - JCEA backed
Paula Jones-Watson - JCEA backed
Lorenzo Richardson - JCEA backed
LeKendrick Shaw - JCEA backed
Noemi Velazquez - JCEA backed
Alexander Hamilton - NOT JCEA backed
