This is what the Borough answered on its questionnaire just this past October:
Vincent Caruso was required to certify that the information
provided to the state was accurate to the best of his knowledge.
At the August 21, 2018 council meeting, this
administration was asked if Donald Scorzetti has taken any borough vehicles to
his shore house. Additional questions were asked about unlimited personal use, insurance policies, etc.
Caruso replied that according to Scorzetti’s contract,
he can take a borough vehicle to his shore house.
Carafa replied, “That’s been in place for years”.
Both statements clearly show that Caruso, Carafa and
the rest of their administration have been intentionally
lying to the state for years.
Some state aid is dependent of the answers to the best practices
questionnaire. It’s a serious matter to
certify dishonest statements in return for money.
