Tony Luna Continues Driving Up Legal Bills on the Lodi Taxpayers. Scott Luna Continues Concealing the Matter from the Public.




Two law firms “Florio Perrucci” and “Pfund McDonnell” have been submitting monthly bills for a matter involving Anthony “Tony” Luna, a Department of Community Affairs complaint, and the Office of the Attorney General.


Scott Luna has been abstaining on the Florio bills because he has an obvious conflict of interest.  Scott Luna did NOT abstain on the McDonnell bills at the April meeting even though he has an obvious conflict with them as well.


Scott Luna would not disclose his conflict of interest when questioned at the last council meeting.  The borough hall would not provide a copy of the DCA complaint after it was requested through the Open Public Records Act.


The Lodi taxpayers have paid tens of thousands of dollars in recent months for a matter involving the mayor’s father.  The Lodi taxpayers have right to know what type of matter they are paying for.  Tony Luna hasn’t been borough manager for five years. Why isn’t the South Bergen Joint Insurance Fund covering the legal costs for a matter involving Tony Luna? Is it a proper use of Lodi tax dollars to pay two firms for a matter involving Tony Luna?  If Scott Luna doesn’t disclose the type of matter, we won’t know if his administration is improperly using public funds to benefit his family financially.
