The "machine" is TWO VOTES AWAY from delivering their $7.5M scam...

There are five seats up on November 7^th.  There are 4 members not up for re-election.  I am the only independent, anti-machine member not up for re-election.  I fought against the scam before I joined the Board and then voted to stop it once I was sworn in.  The other 3 members not up for re-election are all “machine” members that voted over and over again for the $7.5M scam.  Those members are Dominick Miller, Phil Carbonetti, and Mike Nardino.

If the “machine” has 5 votes after November, the building will go up.  Lodi taxes will soar.  And some people will probably be getting kickbacks.  The “machine” only needs two votes.

If independent, reform minded members fill five seats, the scam can be taken off the table.  The people of Lodi need to win at least 4 seats in November to stop the scam.

The following ten candidates expressed where they stand on the issue (click on the links below to view answers):

  Kerry Mastrofilipo, 1 year seat

  Louis Tuccillo, 1 year seat

  Alfonso Mastrofilipo Jr., 2 year seat

  Antonino "Nino" Pitti, 2 year seat

  Jeff Telep, 3 year seat

  David Kim, 3 year seat

  Burton Weiner, 3 year seat

  Joseph Ramos, 3 year seat

  Pamela Lavezzola, 3 year seat

  Michael Ravenda Sr., 3 year seat

Donald Scorzetti and Nancy Cardone demonstrated they are in full support of the scam.  Joe Leto has proven to be a “machine” puppet that will go along with anything no matter what the cost to Lodi.

I am awaiting answers from candidates Joseph Bigica, Jason Jacoby, Sharon Salvacion, and Robert Marra.
