Most people in
Lodi have no idea that the politicians are spending 7.5 Million TAX DOLLARS
to demolish and rebuild the Lincoln school offices. The building is structurally sound according
to their paid engineer. It is in good
condition. It isn’t used as a
school. There is no urgency for any
recommended repairs.
The Capizzis plotted this for a very long time (years)
behind the public’s back. The Capizzis didn’t reveal it during a contested election because they knew how
controversial it was. The Capizzis won’t put it to a referendum vote because they know how unpopular it is.
The Capizzis are benefitting greatly due to the fact
that the public has no knowledge of what is taking place. Other districts are covered by the papers for
smaller and less controversial projects.
Projects in other
districts involve actual schools attended by students. Grants are
secured. Residents vote on
referendums. None is true for Lodi.
When residents learn about the “Capizzi Plan” for the
first time, the second
most asked question is: “Why hasn’t this been in the papers?”
The most asked
question is: “Who’s getting a kickback?”
Those
are the first things that cross people’s minds when they see such a high price
tag on something so unnecessary, all taking place behind the public’s back.
