Berkeley Township: Most newly elected school board members sincerely try to set a good example for the taxpayers and school children they are elected to serve.

Ciullo Sets Bad Example For School  Children Everywhere

But Republican Club Vice President Richard Ciullo, elected to the Central Regional School Board by default after thousands of senior citizens stayed home and didn't vote, deviated radically from the norm, and apparently couldn't wait to set a very bad example for school children everywhere by publishing an offensive and profane internet diatribe before the ink was even dry on the election returns.

Lied Repeatedly During The Campaign

Ciullo lied repeatedly during the campaign, selling himself as a "leader" in tax reform issues, when he was - and is - no such thing.

Ciullo Covered Up His Political Office

He knew perfectly well that voters would like to know the level of his political activity, but he covered up his election as Vice President of the Berkeley Republican GreedClub, and withheld it from voters in the non-partisan school board campaign.

Ciullo Showed Taxpayers They Made A Big Mistake

When the campaign was over, Ciullo didn't waste any time showing Berkeley taxpayers they made a big mistake in electing him. The election returns were barely history when Ciullo, itching for retribution against his critics, put some raw material up on his personal website, the likes of which is not often seen in Ocean County, even among Berkeley Republicans.

Setting An Example For Berkeley School Children:
Direct Quotes From Ciullo's Web Site

Excerpts from Ciullo's low life attack on OCP editorial staff:

These are direct quotes from Ciullo's personal WebSite:

Finger Factor

Former school board member Frank Montagna (Belleville High School) made an obscene gesture to three high school seniors a few years ago, and it earned him a reprimand from his colleagues on the Belleville School Board and the nickname "Frank The Finger."

Four Ward Seats Went To The Democrats

The Finger Chronicles were a major factor in the Democratic sweep of four Berkeley ward council seats in 2001.

OCP will soon take stock of the "Finger Factor," and Ciullo's really bad behavior in continuing coverage of the indisputable fact that Berkeley Republicans, from Amato to  Bunnell to Ciullo to Frank "The Finger," have developed an amazing capacity over the years for shooting themselves in their collective foot.
