Marc Wrongfully Billed Lodi for his Health Benefits and Violated his Own Resolution.

The Lodi council passed a Resolution waiving their health benefits from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 in order to “grant the taxpayers of this community with some measure of financial relief.”

The State enacted a new law on May 21, 2010 prohibiting part-time elected officials from receiving health benefits through SHBP if they were not enrolled or eligible on that day and continuously thereafter.

Marc was not enrolled on that day.  Nor was he eligible on that day.  His benefits were waived (by Resolution) through December 31, 2010.  The Resolution was written by a Borough Attorney.  It is a legal document.

Key words from Resolution No. 10-184:  "that health and life benefits, to which they would, in absence of the Resolution, be entitled,..."  

The Resolution made Marc NOT ENTITLED at the time he began charging the Lodi taxpayers.

 There was no Resolution un-waiving them.  Yet, Marc decided to take them anyway. 

Marc needs to right his wrong.  He needs to pay back the taxpayers of Lodi for the cost of his health benefits.

Joyce Decker should have taken the initiative to review Lodi’s Resolutions before she invented a new way of transferring Marc’s bill from the Meadowlands Commission over to the Lodi taxpayers.

Below is a link to the Minutes of the Council Meeting where Resolution 10-184 was passed.  Alan Spiniello's name is not listed on the Minutes but he was Lodi's Borough Attorney at the time the Resolution was written and approved.

Mr. Spiniello gets paid by Lodi to represent Lodi.  He should sue Marc Schrieks on behalf of the Lodi taxpayers to recoup their money.
