The Lodi Mayor and Council endorsed grant applications for Joe Licata without seeing the applications?





For the past two years, readers of this blog saw that Joe Licata provided false information on his block grant applications.  Joe Licata used false statistics or outdated figures to show the Lodi schools performing worse than they actually were.  As board president, he bragged about how great the schools were doing.  At the same time, he was making the schools out to be the worst.


Last week, the Lodi Mayor and Council endorsed Joe Licata’s applications.


Joe Licata could have provided the Mayor and Council with copies of the applications without the endorsing letters.  What would he be uploading to the electronic system? The Mayor and Council should have included those applications in these Resolutions at the time they were approved.


You can see the amount of money requested by Joe Licata on pages 5-11 in the link below:
