September 2025 Payroll for Lodi Borough Hall...
Vinny Martin Voted to Raise Your Municipal Taxes 15.64% As He Continues to Receive a Very Special Tax Break Reserved for Lodi Politicians…
Tax records show that Vinny Martin purchased his home
in 2006 for $500,000 yet George Reggo gave him a very special low assessment of
$321,000. The assessment never changed over the years after many improvements were done to the property.
https://taxrecords-nj.com/pub/cgi/m4.cgi?district=0231&l02=023100174__0500019_________M
Zillow currently estimates the value at $674,000:
When Lodi’s Revaluation numbers come out, Vinny Martin’s
taxes should increase at a higher amount than other Lodi homeowners. If not, the process was corrupted like last
time when family and friends of Lodi politicians had significant tax reductions
without tax appeals being filed.
Instead of Vinny Martin explaining his extremely low
assessment, he had an attorney send me a letter a few years ago demanding the information
come down.
Vinny Martin should not be voting for 15.64% municipal taxes and lying about it when he has been saving thousands of dollars each year at your expense.

In 1990, Scott Luna's Father, Bruce Masopust, and Emil Cara Raised Municipal Taxes 35% in Just One Year...
A big part of the problem is the entire Mayor and Council consists of 4 retired Lodi employees and one current County employee- where their jobs and promotions were based on dirty Lodi politics and not merit. They are out of touch and lacking real life experience with respect to budgeting and management. They want to manage other people's tax dollars because they wouldn't be able to manage their own. They can run political campaigns and nothing else. Their actions and votes on the Lodi council would have bankrupted any private business. They increased taxes 15.64% as they borrowed ridiculous amounts of money for basic Borough expenses.
Vinny Martin announced that he would be a business owner in 2017. It turned out that it was a cocaine and prostitution business. It didn't turn out well. That is the only business experience brought to the council chambers. And that is why your municipal taxes just increased 15.64%.

The Mayor and Council Should Be Ashamed to Show Their Faces in Lodi After Raising Municipal Taxes 15.64%. They Do a Horrible Job and then Use Your Tax Dollars to Lie About it.
Lodi's Tax Bill Will Show that the Lodi Mayor and Council are Lying to Get Mark Delmonaco Elected. Their Rampant Corruption Has Led to a Big MUNICIPAL TAX INCREASE.

They created an illegal pay scheme for Gary Paparozzi.

They paid Alan Spiniello hundreds of thousands of dollars without any invoices.

They spent hundreds of thousands of Lodi tax dollars unfairly targeting Captain Grillo.

They gave the Mayor's sister a big pay raise. The CFO was rewarded for this financial mess.
http://lodioverhaul.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-sister-of-lodi-mayor-scott-luna-got.html
Lodi taxpayers are paying a very high corruption tax.
Scott Luna, Vinny Martin, Emil Carafa, Bruce Masopust, and Mark Delmonaco need to stop lying and start taking responsibility for their failures.
The Lodi Mayor and Council Held a Special Meeting on September 5th to Amend Their 2025 Introduced Budget from June. They are Showing an "Anticipated Surplus" Decreased by $5,205,000 and the "Local Tax for Municipal Purposes" Increased by $2,352,857.86...
Link to Resolution from the Lodi Mayor and Council:
A recent letter from "Pride"(for Mark Delmonaco) shows that all five council members are incapable of understanding their own budgets and incapable of telling the truth.
"Pride" created a financial mess and they delayed their Revaluation Order for years. They are just buying time.

Sign of Hypocrisy. Good Thing for Donald Scorzetti that DelMonaco's Step-Son Won't Harass and Fine Him $1000 for Pride's Sign Ordinance...

Lodi's Deputy Mayor Vincent Martin Was a "50% Owner" and "Managing Member" of a Strip Club When it Was Repeatedly Busted for Prostitution and Illegal Drugs. Vinny Martin Settled Before the Hearing to Revoke His License and Bar Him from Holding a License for Two Years.
The State's Division of Alcohol Beverage Control filed to revoke Vinny Martin's license and bar him from holding a license for two years.
Vinny Martin and his partner settled before the hearing.
How can the State not allow Vinny Martin to continue running his business but still allow him to run Lodi?
Why hasn't one news reporter confronted Matthew Platkin about this blatant abuse and political favoritism?
How Come Lodi Deputy Mayor Vinny Martin Was Treated Differently than These Strip Club Owners?
Probation seems too lenient for running a "house of prostitution" and failure to pay income tax. With that said, those listed above were charged, plead guilty, and sentenced to probation. Vinny Martin's name never even appeared in one news article where his business was busted multiple times for prostitution and illegal drug sales.
There is a two tiered justice system in New Jersey.
If "Pride" Was Mark DelMonaco's First Choice for Slogans, What Was the Second Choice: Vinny Martin's "Pimps and Hoes"?
Mark Delmonaco is only running to cover up Vinny Martin's and Donald Scorzetti's abuses while adding to Pride's nepotism and conflicts.

Lodi is Part of the 38th Legislative District Where Not One Candidate for State Assembly Is Endorsed by the New Jersey Right to Life...
Lisa Swain is so obsessed with abortion, she is
incapable of speaking about anything else or accomplishing anything:
Maybe the Bergen County Republicans would be more competitive
if they ran on any conservative principles instead of generic talking points.

In Recent Weeks, There Were Many News Stories about a Required Public Hearing in Newark to Alter an Unexpired Superintendent's Contract...
https://www.chalkbeat.org/newark/2025/09/26/board-rejects-superintendent-roger-leons-contract-extension/
These news stories should remind the taxpayers of Lodi how their BOE members have violated State law for years without consequence or any oversight from State agencies. Frank Quatrone's unexpired contracts were altered multiple times without any required notices and public hearings.
Doug Petty's unexpired contact was altered without any required notice or public hearing.
I publicly raised the issue many times prior to votes that the Lodi BOE was violating State law in bypassing required notices and public hearings to further enrich it's failed Superintendents.
I was right but it didn't matter. Taxpayer funded State agencies are useless. Board Attorneys like Matthew Giaccobe are fine breaking the law in return for payments.
Has PRIDE Candidate Mark Anthony DelMonaco's Wife or Her Associates Ever Received any Payments from Lodi for Her "Business" and Why Hasn't the Appointed Councilman Listed the "Business" on His Financial Disclosure Statement?
Is anyone appearing on the monthly Borough bills or employed by the Borough making payments to DelMonaco's wife? Will the DelMonacos be transparent and open up their books to show the public their income before DelMonaco was appointed to the council versus after? Are there any books? Is there any reported income? All Lodi voters should demand answers and transparency before November 4th.

Just on page 1, you see Lodi tax dollars in the amount of $22,757.58 going towards Nancy Cardone's April Elections to suppress voter turnout, one of Cleary Giacobbe's multiple bills on this set ($11,939.50) for a politician run firm that pays board members for its public contracts and $3,600.00 to Laura Bishop for "public relations"-to tell the Lodi taxpayers not to believe their lying eyes.
The Lodi BOE Approved a Starting Salary of $225,000 for Its Next Business Administrator Who Has Yet to Demonstrate His Worth to Lodi. Seems Excessive for a Town Facing Tax Increases and Uncertainty Over Future State Aid.
