"Tony Luna came to see him on behalf of the Redeveloper..."-Report of Vincent Caruso





The item above appeared on the August 8, 2017 minutes of the Executive Meeting of the Mayor and Council. Link to minutes:




On Thursday, March 17, 2016 8:47 PM, I submitted the email below to the Borough Hall:

 
Subject: Main Street Developer

Can you provide me with the name of the Main Street developer?  

For full disclosure, is Tony Luna working for them in any capacity?

Thank you.

Ryan Curioni


On Fri, Mar 18, 2016 at 11:11 AM, I received this response from the Borough Hall:

 
Ryan:
 
The re-developer's name is Crowne Properties LLC in Mr. Joseph Marino is a principal.
 
It is my understanding that Mr. Luna is working for Joseph Marino/JPM Holdings and other entities where Mr. Marino is principal (Marino & Companies). The Borough is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Marino's attorney dated March 17, stating that Mr. Luna will not represent their firm in any activities in Lodi but will do so in other communities.

Thank you,


Tony Luna and the developer were not truthful when they submitted a letter to the Borough stating that Luna would not represent the firm in any activities in Lodi.  Vincent Caruso should not have been meeting with Tony Luna or having any discussions with him pertaining to any of the developer’s activities in Lodi. 


This administration follows no code of ethics.
