(1010 WINS) (Hackensack) -- Bergen County school officials are apologizing to the parents of special education students.
That's because the students names and addresses were inadvertently given to the campaign of County Executive-elect Dennis McNerney a few days before the November fifth election.
Deputy Superintendent Leonard Margolis says a secretary mistakenly provided the information when a McNerney staff member asked for the names of students in the county's technical school district. State and federal laws prohibits the release of information regarding special education students without their parents consent. Some parents and Republican officials have called for an investigation into the matter and McNerney, a Democrat, won't comment on it.
But McNerney's spokesman, Bill Maer, says nothing improper occurred.
This has become a standard line since the days of the Clinton administration. Federal and state laws were broken, but "nothing improper occurred."
The DEMOCRATIC "STAFF" member - on the campaign STAFF - calls the county school secretary (ON GOVERNENT TIME!) and "asks her for a listing of ...... (who cares - IT'S GOVERNMENT INFORMATION!) people (to be called by the democratic campaign ? prior to the election) to help elect a democratic individual.
Nah.
Nothing to see here folks.
Just another democrat politician (AND THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WHO SUPPORT DEMOCRATS!) getting caught using government funds, money, time, and employees and information about taxpayers in government databases and phone lists and school registrations to elect more democrats.
