Gary Paparozzi's Pay-to-Play Continues with Belleville Mayor Michael Melham. Paparozzi Gave Melham Another $521.15 Payment Last Month.

ELEC records show that Gary Paparozzi began making campaign contributions to Michael Melham in 2023 and Belleville records show that “Paparozzi Associates” began receiving contracts in 2023.

Gary Paparozzi was never a “Town Planner” anywhere until Tony Luna began creating all made up positions for him.  Gary Paparozzi used his title from Lodi and campaign contributions to purchase public contracts with Garfield, Paterson, Saddle Brook, Belleville, etc.  He paid for every appointment. Gary Paparozzi is NOT an engineer.  Paparozzi's past record of "Planning" is partnering in housing projects without disclosing his conflicts to the public and trying to seize private property from others in the name of eminent domain while receiving payments from prospective developers.
