2014 Monthly Bills:
In 2014 alone (November and December bills not even
included),
The Lodi taxpayers paid Neglia
Engineering $ 127, 855. 93
The Lodi taxpayers paid Maser
Consulting $ 85, 891. 66
All bills can be found on:
Campaign Contributions:
Last election cycle, Neglia
contributed $ 7,500 to the
Lodi politicians.
Last election cycle, Maser
contributed $ 5,000 to the
Lodi politicians.
“Donations”:
Neglia “donates” high
priced NFL tickets to beefsteaks run by the Lodi politicians.
Maser “donates” to those same
causes.
Both are praised and acknowledged by the Lodi
politicians for their generous donations.
Their “generosity” began when they began receiving NO
BID contracts from Lodi.
What isn’t known yet?
What is the extent of the gifts received by the Lodi
politicians in return for awarding the NO BID contracts?
Someone other than myself posted the following article
and asked the question: who from Lodi
attended? The post was removed every
time. Why did that post strike a nerve?
Link to Star Ledger article:
No justification for two Borough Engineers:
Despite not being reflected on the published meeting
meetings, I questioned the council in 2012 after I noticed that they awarded a
second NO BID contract for Borough Engineer.
I asked why Lodi would be paying both Neglia
and Maser when Lodi always only had one
firm.
It was clear at the time that the Council had no
answer. Marc Schrieks eventually made up
a story, saying that Maser would only be
working on issues with the parks. He couldn’t
explain why Neglia could no longer provide
the work for the parks.
It turned out that Marc was not honest. You can see on the March bills alone that Maser is submitting a whole bunch of bills for
work having nothing to do with parks.
What’s it called when a politician receives something in return
for delivering NO BID contracts paid for with tax dollars?
