🚨 BREAKING NEWS: MAYOR BRIAN STACK CAUGHT INTIMIDATING SCHOOL EMPLOYEES IN SHOCKING POWER GRAB — WHISTLEBLOWERS EXPOSE CORRUPTION AT UNION CITY BOE! 🚨

Union City, NJ — June 7, 2025

A huge scandal has erupted in Union City, NJ after a letter signed by Mayor and State Senator Brian Stack was leaked by whistleblowers to Independent Investigative Journalist Leroy Truth of the Facebook and YouTube Channels Leroy Truth Investigations — and it’s sparking extreme outrage.

We just learned that dozens of Union City, New Jersey teachers and staff have been reaching out to Leroy Truth nonstop over the past several hours enraged as they are demanding the immediate resignations and an immediate criminal investigation into:

Mayor and New Jersey State Senator and Head of the New Jersey State Judiciary Committee Brian Stack, the entire Union City Board of Education including President of the Board of Education Ydalia Genao, and Union City, New Jersey School Superintendent Sylvia Abbato among others.

They are also demanding an immediate investigation over Stack’s years-long allegations of extreme corruption as well additional scrutiny on Mayor and Senator Brian Stacks’ concrete grip and control on Hudson County politics.

The letter, printed on official City of Union City letterhead, paid for by “Union City First”, was mailed to the private home addresses of Union City Board of Education employees. It wasn’t about city policy. It wasn’t even from their employer, the BOE. Instead, it was a blatant political pressure campaign:

“Please speak to your family and friends about the importance of voting for the candidates who will help us continue to succeed,” Stack wrote.

These Board of Education employees don’t even report to Stack. So why is he sending political letters to their homes?

That’s the question at the heart of this controversy — and it’s exposing serious cracks in the firewall that should exist between municipal government and public education.

🔥 “Why is the Mayor Sticking His Nose Where It Doesn’t Belong?”

Stack’s letter raises eyebrows by making direct appeals on school-related issues — including Board of Education funding — despite the fact that the Board of Education is an autonomous entity, with its own trustees, its own superintendent, and its own officials.

Yet Stack wrote:

“As the election approaches, I ask for your help in protecting what we have worked so hard to achieve.”

That’s not his job. Mayors in New Jersey have no authority over BOE funding, and Stack knows this. The trustees of the Board — the very people he helped install — are supposed to represent the district and advocate for the resources they need.

So why is the Mayor acting like a middleman for the school board? The answer is clear: control. Stack has turned the Union City BOE into a political extension of his machine. Instead of an independent board working for students and parents, it has become a tool of his political empire.

🧨 Whistleblowers Step Forward: “We’ve Had Enough”

This letter didn’t stay quiet. Multiple employees at the Union City Board of Education — risking retaliation — leaked it to investigative journalist Leroy Truth, who confirmed its authenticity. Sources say this letter is just one of many examples of Stack using his position to manipulate public employees into supporting his preferred candidates.

One whistleblower told Leroy:

“This isn’t support — it’s coercion. We’re being told who to vote for, and it’s not okay.”

The use of public resources — including potentially misusing public employee contact information — is now under scrutiny. The letter did not include any campaign disclaimer or come from a political campaign other than paid for by Union City First. Instead, it carried the official letter head of “from the desk of Brian P. Stack, Mayor of Union City”, and was signed by the Mayor in his public capacity, not as a private citizen.

📬 Misuse of Employee Information?

Sources close to the Union City BOE confirmed that thousands of public school employees — including non-political staff — received the letter, despite never having shared their home addresses with Stack’s political operation.

One whistleblower told Leroy Truth, the independent journalist who broke the story:

“We’ve never given our addresses to Stack or his campaign. We don’t even work for the city. How did he get this information? Why is the mayor writing to us like we’re his employees?”

According to the Union City Board of Education’s Collective Bargaining Agreement, employee information — including home addresses — is not public record and cannot be shared outside specific legal exceptions. The relevant section (Article 6, P.2.E.) clearly states:

“The home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, date of birth… are not government records and are exempt from any disclosure requirements…”

If Stack obtained this data through the BOE or any government resource, it could constitute a violation of state privacy and election laws.

📢 Hypocrisy and Fear: The Stack Playbook

In his letter, Stack tries to play the victim, writing:

“The election cycle for the June Primary has been contentious and often hostile. My political opponents continue to spread lies and launch personal attacks that are aimed at hurting my family and me.”

“These same attacks are indicative of the true intentions of the political party bosses who continue to try to hurt our community for their own political gain.”

Let’s be clear: the only “political machine and party boss” here is the one run by Brian Stack himself.

He’s the one holding two powerful offices — mayor and senator — and still not content to let candidates speak for themselves. Now he’s crying foul over criticism, even as he inserts himself into races where he’s not on the ballot, all while targeting school employees who don’t answer to him.

But that’s the cost of politics — especially when you make yourself the face of someone else’s campaign and bring your own family into the political spotlight. Stack can’t have it both ways. If he wanted to stay above the fray, he should have stayed out of it. Instead, he’s weaponizing public institutions for his own gain, then crying when called out.

🏛️ The Bigger Problem: A Compromised School Board

The silence from the current Union City Board of Education trustees is deafening. These individuals are supposed to protect the integrity and independence of the school system, not serve as foot soldiers in Stack’s political machine. By allowing this level of interference and intimidation to occur, they have shown themselves to be political lackeys — not public servants.

Adding to the growing outrage, Marco Navarro — a current Board of Education trustee, city employee, and Republican candidate for the New Jersey State Assembly in District 37 — confirmed that he personally received one of the political letters at his home. “This is beyond unethical,” Navarro said. “As both an employee and an elected trustee, I find it deeply troubling that our personal information is being used to send political propaganda from our employer. This crosses the line between governance and coercion. I don’t even live in the district currently to be receiving this letter!” Navarro, who has been outspoken about the need for term limits and greater separation between local government and school boards, called the move “an outrageous abuse of power and a perfect example of why the political machine of Brian Stack in Hudson County must be dismantled.”

🚨 What Happens Now?

This explosive situation is now too big to ignore. The following questions demand answers:

Who provided the private home addresses of school employees to a political actor? Why is the Mayor acting on behalf of the Board of Education without authority? What legal boundaries have been crossed by using city resources for political campaigning?

Whistleblowers are stepping up — and this is only the beginning. The wall of silence is crumbling. The people of Union City and New Jersey deserve better than a political system built on fear, manipulation, and unchecked power.

The truth is coming out. And Brian Stack can’t run from it anymore.
