Albert DiChiara should explain why he was seeking a
pay raise for Gary Paparozzi when Gary Paparozzi was not an employee of Lodi and
was submitting bills for any supposed hours, he put in as “Planner”.
Alan Spiniello should explain how you can amend a contract when there is no contract. OPRA responses show that Gary Paparozzi never had any labor agreement in 2020 and still does not have one in 2026.
You can’t add a list of additional no work to a list
of current no work.
This illegal pay scheme would be low hanging fruit for
any auditor. However, Lodi has not undergone an
independent audit in decades. The Lodi
taxpayers are paying an auditor but not receiving an audit. Frank DiMaria is funding Pride’s political
campaigns. He is partying with Pride members. He recommended Gary Paparozzi for a contract
in Belleville. But he is not auditing
Lodi.
Please look at who was present at the August 18, 2020 closed session meeting. Frank DiMaria was present.
Why did "Auditor" Frank DiMaria not interject
that Gary Paparozzi was a contracted professional service provider billing for
any supposed hours (submitting laughable invoices)? Why did he not explain
that Gary Paparozzi had no labor agreement, no attendance records, and was
working at his private business and for other towns during the business operating
hours of Lodi’s zoning office?
Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves. They know they are complicit in robbing from
the Lodi taxpayers. They continue do so
just because Phil Murphy interfered with ongoing investigations in Lodi to
protect the politicians and prolong the theft.
