Lodi hiring practices: whose friend was John Pinzone?




In 2013, Tony Luna stated that then Police Chief/BOE member Vincent Caruso would be responsible for hiring the new school security guards.


The link below is the first return for a search of "John Pinzone Fairview".  Searches yielded the same results at the time Lodi hired its school security guards.

Coucilwoman Patricia Licata is a Lodi BOE employee/councilwoman.  Did she bother to search who was being hired in the building where she is employed?  


BOE candidate Marc Schrieks was on Lodi council at the time.  Did he bother to search who was being hired?  


Were the newly created positions posted anywhere?  How many applicants were there?  What hiring method was used?  Usually none.


Will the person responsible for the hiring step forward and explain if the articles from Fairview mattered at all during the selection?
