Beginning on April 28th (or earlier), Dominic Miller ran
up thousands of dollars in legal bills for Lodi by having Anthony Sciarrillo
review my blog posts and then draft an ethics complaint against me. He used public funds for a private
purpose. Some of the bills appeared
in this post:
Below is one email chain that shows Miller withholding
information and being very dishonest:

Mr. Capizzi,
Can you please forward me
the correspondence between Board President Dominic Miller and
the attorney regarding the bill posted on page 6 (of 8):
"4/28 Receipt and review of emails and attachments from D. Miller in
Re: Website Posts".
I would like to know the bills I
will be voting on next week.
Thanks.

Mr. Curioni,
Per your request below,
I do not have any correspondences in the Business Office related to the
item in question. It is my understanding from Mr. Miller that the
services in question were the result of a verbal conversation between him
and the Attorney.
Please direct any
further questions regarding this matter directly to Mr. Miller. Thank
you.
Regards,
Marc A. Capizzi

Mr. Miller,
Mr. Sciarillo is the board's
attorney and he bills by the hour. He is not a personal attorney for
any board member. If a trustee corresponds with the
attorney and expects the rest of the board to approve the bill, the rest of
the board has a right to know what was submitted and what was
discussed.
Please forward me all emails and
attachments that are clearly referenced in the invoice: "4/28 Receipt
and review of emails and attachments from D. Miller in Re: Website
Posts".
You should also supply Mr.
Capizzi with the "emails and attachments" because he stated that
he doesn't have any correspondence in the Business Office. When you
send emails in your capacity as Board President, they must be preserved as
public records.
I would like to see the emails
and attachments before I vote on the bills at this week's meeting.
Thanks.
Ryan Curioni

Mr Curioni:
Attached please find the email
and attachment as requested. After receiving this email, I contacted Mr.
Sciarillo by phone to discuss the communication that was received. During
that conversation, I inquired of your blog to ensure the legality of it to
protect your rights as a Board Trustee. if you have any further questions
regarding this, you can contact Mr. Sciarillo directly at his office.
Please note, I have copied Mr.
Sciarillo on this email as well.
Regards,
Dominic Miller

Mr. Miller,
I never mentioned the union or
negotiations on my blog until May 24th which was a month after the date on
the invoice. I have a right to see all materials for this
invoice. I will be voting on the bills this Wednesday.
I don't believe an attachment
sent to Mr. Mastrofilipo about mediation has anything to do with the
invoice: "4/28 Receipt and review of emails and attachments from
D. Miller in Re: Website Posts".
As a trustee, I have a right to
this information without an OPRA request. Please forward me all
email communications between you and Mr. Sciarillo for the months of
April and May. If I do not receive them by Tuesday, I will
file an OPRA request for your emails. Please do not delete them,
as that would be destroying public records and agencies can retrieve them
anyway.
Thanks.
Ryan Curioni
