As Your Municipal Taxes Went up 16%, the Wealth Developer that Was Paying Scott Luna's Father Is Getting Money Back and Paying Even Less. This Resolution Appeared on the October 21, 2025 Meeting Agenda...

Mark DelMonaco Should Not Be Accepting $250 Worth of Alcohol from Someone Involved in Cocaine and Prostitution Businesses...
Both Mark DelMonaco and Donald Scorzetti (supposed former and current law enforcement) owe their promotions, protections etc. to Lodi Deputy Mayor Vinny Martin. They owe the jobs for all their relatives to Lodi Deputy Mayor Vinny Martin. And that should tell you everything you need to know about both of them and why neither should hold any position in Lodi Borough Hall.
Both Gary Paparozzi ("Senior Planning Aid") and Sheryl Luna ("CFO/Treasurer) Have NO SHOW Positions in Lodi Borough Hall...
Paparozzi and Luna spend more time in limos at Atlantic City than they do rendering any service to the taxpayers of Lodi.
They lived it up on your hard earned tax dollars as they raised your municipal taxes 16%.
Who thought it was a good idea for them to post these photos on social media?

Pride Nepotism has Failed the Lodi Taxpayers. Lodi Taxpayers are Being Ripped Off and Robbed.
Link to post and video from a recent council meeting:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2936147843133245/posts/24457789573875761/
Marc Schrieks and Sheryl Luna (and according to Pride also Frank DiMaria) are responsible for Lodi's screwed up budget where they were off by millions. The Lodi Mayor and Council give big raises for failure. And for not showing up.
Borough Manager Marc Schrieks Was Soliciting Money from Lodi's Contractors and Builders for Delmonaco's Campaign. He is Very Experienced in this Area.
Marc Schrieks has become quite the shakedown artist.
I am sure none of his solicitations took place during Borough hours where he would conveniently have access to all the contact information from those cashing in on Lodi.
Why couldn't Mark DelMonaco or Woobsie solicit the cash? They wouldn't carry as much influence as the Borough Manager that deals with the contractors on a daily basis?
I am sure there is a complete split between Schrieks' professional life and his shakedown activities.

Marc DelMonaco Does Not Represent Lodi's Interests. His ELEC Report Shows Horrible Pay-to-Play Abuses (Schrieks/Paparozzi/Spiniello/DiMaria, etc.). It Also Shows that Mark DelMonaco Solicited and Took Money from Builders that are Overdeveloping the Town...

Neither Mark DelMonaco, "Woobsie", or their Puppet master and Role Model Vinny Martin Will Address How the Clear Examples of Waste, Abuse, and Fraud Listed Below Have Contributed to Their 15.64% 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.

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.

Get Over Yourselves, You Pompous Fools. You Just Raised Taxes 16% and You Have only Been on the Council for a Few Months.
Raising taxes 16% to fund a corrupt system in which you, your relatives, and closest friends are the beneficiaries, is nothing to take Pride. Mark DelMonaco has done nothing but spread lies. If the two of you weren't so in love with yourselves, you would be ashamed and embarrassed.
Swain and Tully Always Endorse High Taxes and Poor Character for Lodi. They Were All Partying as "Pride" Was Mailing You Its 16% Municipal Tax Increase.
Too much Pride. Too much corruption. Too much partying -always with your money, never with theirs.
Lodi Pride has yet to report it's campaign contributions and donors because it's all pay-to-play. Which means higher taxes.

The Lodi Mayor and Council are Holding Off the New Revaluation Assessments Until After November 4th Because They Are Going to Be Devastating to the Lodi Taxpayers...
The County taxes could double for Lodi Taxpayers because most of the County has already been reassessed multiple times in the last twenty years. The County has a set rate and says Lodi is very undervalued (not paying it's proper share).
And County taxes could be the least of the Lodi taxpayers' worries.
The Lodi Mayor and Council are buying time to help Mark DelMonaco but also help the three incumbent County Commissioners who have been giving double digit percentage tax increases without the Revaluation.
The County employs Scott Luna and had employed Vinny Martin even as his business was busted multiple times for cocaine and prostitution. The phony Lodi Mayor and Council Members placed a letter in your tax bill showing how bad Mary Amoroso, Thomas Sullivan, and Germaine Ortiz have been with double digit percentage County tax increases yet they campaign for them because they care more about their own self-enrichment than Lodi's interests.
The County ordered Lodi's Revaluation because they said Lodi was paying less than the other Bergen County towns due to its outdated assessments. But then it allowed Lodi to delay for years. Past posts on the subject:
http://lodioverhaul.blogspot.com/2024/08/scott-luna-and-lodi-council-knew-about.html
Don't take my word for it. Ask Scott Luna or Marc Schrieks now so they are not given an opportunity to lie after the fact. Ask them about the Revaluation release date and how the new assessments will impact the Lodi taxpayers.
The Mayor and Council, Marc Schrieks, Gary Paparozzi, and others have been nothing but secretive and dishonest about their Revaluation process. Gary Paparozzi somehow managed to make a real lot of money during from the Revaluation (besides being paid as a fake full-time Borough employee and "Planner" with a noncompetitive professional service contract).

to September 15th Payroll:
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.
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...
Past post on the subject:
"Vote with Pride" for Donald Scorzetti's contracts:

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.
