Advisory Opinions
prohibit Donald Scorzetti from negotiating the teachers’ contract. The endorsement is one reason. The other is Councilwoman Patty Licata is
part of the bargaining unit. Patty
Licata brought back the “Deputy Chief” position for Donald Scorzetti. She plans on making him the next chief (despite
his lack of ethics, poor judgment, and the fact everyone else deserves it more).
Neither of these two conflicts were listed on the "Doctrine of Necessity" Resolution even after I requested that they be included. The School Ethics Commission will not know the true extent of Lodi's conflicts. Whoever drew up the Resolution was negligent of his/her responsibilities.
Joe Leto (multiple conflicts) named Donald Scorzetti as one of three members to negotiate the teachers’ contract.

Allowing someone with
Scorzetti’s multiple conflicts to negotiate is legalized corruption. So is promising
out tax dollars in return for endorsements and campaign support.
