Full Title - "Lawyer on Chris Christies SCHOOL FUNDING task force is bankrolling teen suing parents for college cash"
The prominent New Jersey attorney who is funding the legal costs of 18-year-old Morris Catholic High School senior Rachel Canning in her lawsuit against her own parents serves on Gov. Chris Christies School Funding Task Force.
The attorney is John P. Inglesino, the managing partner at Inglesino, Wyciskala & Taylor, LLC, a 10-attorney firm in Parsippany, N.J.
Gov. Christies School Funding Task Force exists to eradicate abuse and fraud from New Jerseys education system, explains the Common Sense Institute of New Jersey. Its goals are to study the use of free and reduced school lunches as a way of determining at-risk students and, generally, to pinpoint parts of the states school-funding formula that are subject to fraud.
Christie created the task force in March 2012 with an executive order.
Canning, a cheerleader and a lacrosse player, moved out of her home in the fall and is currently staying with the Inglesino family.
The 18-year-old adult seeks a declaration from a judge preventing her emancipation into the real world under the theory that she must remain a nonemancipated dependent. She wants her parents, Sean and Elizabeth Canning, to pay an outstanding $5,306 Morris Catholic High tuition bill. The grown woman also wants her parents to pay for living and transportation expenses for the foreseeable future.
The Cannings say their daughter left their house on her own accord.
Im dumbfounded, father and retired police chief Sean Canning told CBS New York. So is my wife. So are my other daughters.
Inglesino was the mayor of Rockaway Township from 1996 to 2002. Now in private practice, he specializes in government law and real estate law. He is the township attorney for Parsippany-Troy Hills, and he represents other Garden State government entities in various capacities.
He brags that Politicker NJ named him among the Top 100 powerful people in New Jersey in 2013.
Nothing in his lengthy biography suggests that he has any expertise in education. The word education is, in fact, completely absent.
There are two mentions of the word school in the 580-word bio. One boasts that Gov. Christie named Inglesino to the School Funding Task Force. The other notes that he attended Seton Hall University School of Law.
Inglesino also once had something to do with litigation involving the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
Thus far, an attorney (not Inglesino) who is representing Rachel Canning has racked up bills of about $13,000, according to the Daily Record.
The lawsuit is not going well, however.
On Tuesday, reports CBS New York, a judge ruled that Cannings parents do not have to pay their grown daughter anythingat least for now.
District court Judge Peter Bogaard denied the 18-year-old seniors request for emergency cash for high school tuition, living expenses, college tuition and legal fees.
Bogaard asked the litigants before him if it is a good idea to establish precedent where parents live in fear of establishing rules of the house, notes CBS.
The judge also read in open court an ugly voicemail Canning left for her mother, according to the Daily Mail. I wanna s- all over your face, the high school seniors message to mom said in part.
Have you ever in your experience seen such gross disrespect for a parent? Bogaard asked. I dont see it in my house.
At one point, the judge urged the parties to find a halfway amicable solution outside of court during the long hearing.
The next hearing in the case is scheduled for April 22.
POS Lawyer.
POS Parents.
I have to ask... is he doing her?
Man....if the Democrats could force parents to pay tuition. That would be a real shakedown. The Massahs at the universities must be licking their chops over this one.
It does, afterall, take a village.
Well — what a coincidence
The feds have forced parents to pay for medical insurance.
What is the diff.
They force us to pay for others and others children, pay for their medical, education, food, housing
Why can’t the force you to pay for your own with the pittance you have left.
“POS Parents”?
I don’t think so.
More likely “long-suffering” parents.
Why are the parents POS for trying to force a child (now an adult) to live by their rules?
The real villian in this story is the slimy lawer that is egging her on. There has to be a counter suit the parents can slap him with.
This little tart was in our morning fishwrap. She’s asking her parents to pay living expenses of $650 per week. I gross over $60K annually and don’t even take home $650 per week after deductions which are mostly all the greedy levels of government taking their bite. And, BTW, I’m supporting a wife as well.
She should come with a warning label.

In a lot of ways their daughter is what they made her to be. I don't think there are any victims in this one. The family is broken, and the kid should go her way while the parents go their's. If all she wants her parents for is money then there isn't anything repairable in the relationship.
In other words -- Inglesino.
One has to ask what his deal is in all of this???
Surely he's not that hard up for money or is he???
or is this a pissing contest between him and her parents???
#8 and #9
This whole thing is just destroying our family, Sean Canning told The Post. We love our daughter. Shes our pride and joy. The door is wide open. We want her to come home.
Canning told the newspaper he and his wife have disagreed on typical family issues.
Im a liberal, liberal parent, he said. I wish I could have grown up in my house. I was tougher on my cops at work than Ive ever been at my home, thats for sure.
She didn’t get that way overnight.
I think servo1969 meant ‘parents of said POS’.
I doubt it. Chris Christie awarded him a $52 million no-bid contract a couple of years ago; Inglesino had been an aide to Christie and worked as a fund-raiser for him.
Canning, a cheerleader and a lacrosse player, moved out of her home in the fall and is currently staying with the Inglesino family.
yes... and if he has taken her into his home, let him pay for college tuition!!!
Pissing match? The dad is the ex-police chief. Bound to have some lawyer enemies.
Typical lawyer. I want to help this girl, who can we sue?
