“P” stands for Political Patronage…





Right after Lodi learned about a new made up title “Recreational Lead” with a $50,000 starting salary, I began receiving emails with bold predictions.  Lodi residents had emailed: “don’t be surprised if Scott Luna and Joe Leto run with the Carafa team to protect Garrett’s new position and guarantee another big pay raise following the Election.”


Those predictions may turn out to be true.  Scott Luna is Garrett’s father.  Joe Leto is one of Garrett’s best friends.  The night that the corrupt political machine made Joe Leto BOE president (his first day on the board), Garrett Luna took to social media to congratulate Joe Leto whom he described as “one of his best friends”.


Those that run to benefit their relatives and “best friends” financially are running for the wrong reasons.  And when they do it for so long, their actions become very predictable.
