Lodi taxpayers had no way of knowing that Marc Schrieks was receiving health benefits in 2013 as a part-time councilman…




The question above is from Lodi’s completed 2013 “Best Practices”.  The question is straightforward.  It is unambiguous.  Lodi answered “Yes”.  No comments are listed to the right.


State:  Does your municipality exclude from healthcare coverage part-time elected and appointed officials (less that 35 hours per week)?

Lodi:  Yes


The State of New Jersey puts out a list of best practices that it wants all municipalities to implement.  If a town does not implement enough best practices, it can lose some State aid.


The State stressed the importance of answering honestly.  It required the following certification of the Borough Manager and CFO.




Both Tony Luna and Charles Cuccia blatantly lied to the State to conceal the fact that Marc Schrieks, a part-time Lodi councilman, was receiving taxpayer funded health benefits.


Link to the Lodi’s 2013 “Best Practices” questionnaire:




Five years later, you can see even more clearly how dishonest they were with their certified answers to the State.  They still haven’t implemented the best practices they certified in 2013.


BOE candidate Marc Schrieks is a dishonest person that has always used public office for personal gain.
