The Lodi Board of Education voted to stop the $8M
administration building on January 4, 2017 by a vote of 4-3-1. A $6,053,500 contract had been awarded a week
earlier for the demolition and replacement which was scheduled for March 2017. It was a memorable meeting because it was my
first meeting as a board member.
Joe Leto didn’t join the BOE until January 3, 2018, a
year after we already cancelled the contract.
Leto contributed NOTHING to our efforts in stopping the unnecessary
project. He never attended one BOE meeting
in 2015 and 2016 when people were organizing against the project. He never discussed the issue period. He didn’t even tweet about it.
After all the hard work was done, Leto joined the BOE
in 2018 and tried to take credit for something he had nothing to do with. The resolution in 2018 wasn’t necessary as
the contract was already cancelled and never went back out to bid.
This shameless self-promotion by Lyin’ Leto is nothing
new. People that tune into to BOE
meetings witnessed his behavior and made sure he didn’t return as BOE president
for a second year.
