For years, I have fought against the unethical
behavior and corruption of Lodi politicians. Many
remedial actions were taken after I exposed wrongdoings on this website. One
example: in 2014, the State removed Lodi
politicians from the public pension system after I exposed how they didn’t
belong in it.
More recently, I filed an ethics complaint against the
Lodi Board of Education President Joseph Licata. For years, he cast unethical
votes on a wide range of matters. Separate from his votes, he used his position to directly benefit family and friends. I gave
the Board an opportunity to get its act together. The Board only got worse. So I filed a complaint last January.
So far, two decisions were made by the School Ethics
Commission. Both were unfavorable to Joe Licata and his attorney. I successfully defeated their “Motion to
Dismiss”. I successfully showed “probable
cause” that violations were committed by Licata. The case is going before an Administrative
Law Judge.
Below is a link to my responsive brief that defeated their
“Motion to Dismiss”:

during the “probable cause” hearing:
