The Politician Run Law Firm “Cleary Giacobbe” Has Been Using Joseph Lagana’s Campaign Account to Funnel Money into Political Campaigns Throughout New Jersey in Return for Public Contracts. These Campaign Contributions are Not Showing on the ELEC Website When People Search by Contributors. (Post Date: September 5, 2022)

Let’s just take a look at one of many examples:  East Brunswick Council Elections.

Joseph Lagana is a State Senator representing some towns in Bergen County and Hawthorne.  Why would Joseph Lagana have so much interest in local council races in East Brunswick NJ?  Multiple campaign reports show Joseph Lagana funneling money into East Brunswick campaigns.  Joseph Lagana is not contributing as an individual.  He is using his State Senate Campaign Account so he will not show on the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission website if people were to search for contributions from Jospeh Lagana.  Joseph Lagana is making hundreds of campaign contributions that most would be unaware.

The law firm “Cleary Giacobbe” is receiving non-competitive professional contracts from the East Brunswick council in return for Joseph Lagana’s campaign contributions.

Joseph Lagana used his campaign account to funnel money into Lodi Board of Education campaigns and the political campaigns of Lodi’s current mayor and council.  “Giacobbe” received non-competitive legal contracts from both public bodies.
