Councilwoman Patty Licata once again used her council
seat to pay her son Joseph consulting fees during the month of May. She refused to explain them once again. This month she yelled “Call Mike Nardino at
the Boys Club!”
The problem is the Boys & Girls Club is not paying Joe
Licata’s monthly bills that I post every month.
The taxpayers of Lodi are.
Months ago, Marc Schrieks said that it is Joe Licata’s
job at the Boys Club to apply for grants.
I am sure the Boys & Girls Club pays him a salary. Why would the town pay him additionally for
what he is already being paid for?
Years ago, when first asked to explain her son’s consulting
fees, Mrs. Licata answered, “I don’t know what they are for. I can call and ask him if you really care.” I am sure Mrs. Licata did ask him.
Three years have passed. Still no answer. In
fact, she has only grown angrier and more defiant when questioned.
Joe Licata was NOT receiving consulting fees from
the borough prior to his mother sitting on the council. Joe Licata was NOT employed by the Boys & Girls Club
prior to joining the Board of Education.
Hopefully, someone can help Mrs. Licata answer the following
questions as she enters year four:
Why did Joe Licata’s consulting fees begin only
after his mother joined the council?
Is Joe Licata doing his “consulting” or “coordinating”
during his hours at the Boys & Girls Club?
How many hours does he supposedly work when he
bills $550 to Lodi? How about for a $350 invoice?
Why type of work does he supposedly do for the
borough?
Why won’t this council produce any of his supposed work? (If he fills out a grant application, show
the public what is entailed and what is the outcome).
How descriptive are the invoices that Joe Licata
submits to the borough?
Why didn’t this council ever advertise for this work?
