After a week of PRIDEful boasting and flat out lies by corrupt politicians, Lodi residents are left to deal with another very unfortunate ranking (#451 out of 512 towns)…







Link to the full list:




Lodi is in the bottom 12%.  Lodi should have racked up some points just by being in close proximity to hospitals.  Even with that, Lodi is ranked 451 out of 512 towns.


How much further can PRIDE politicians drive down Lodi?


Are we living in the Twilight Zone that we see people taking such PRIDE in such failure?


People can read the methodology for this ranking.  It included tax rates, average home sale prices, school performance, etc. 


The methodology is credible.  PRIDE candidates are not.


Rankings like these drive down home values.  They deter families from investing in Lodi. 


PRIDE had their chance to serve Lodi.  They only served themselves.


A month before an election, they can fix some roads with your money.  They can pretend they have awoken and are suddenly interested in resident complaints on social media.  They can show up to a few more community events.  They can promise out a hundred jobs to the same hundred people they promised them to four years ago and never delivered.  They can take credit for other's hard work.  The reality is: their records in public office are deplorable.


The numbers speak for themselves.  The truth is the truth. 


Lodi deserves better.
