Vinny Martin should step out of his strip club and volunteer his time to video record some public events…




It’s so sad and unfortunate that Joe Leto and Vinny Martin try to make everything about politics and themselves.


All public meetings should be taped.  That brings about transparency.  For years, I attended council meetings asking this administration to video record their meetings and post the videos on the borough website.  Most normal communities have been doing that for years.  This mayor and council refused to consider my suggestion.


This mayor and council video record their swearing-in and play it on public access for years thereafter.  But this mayor and council refuse to tape their meetings.


Joe Leto was the president of the Lodi BOE last year.  Not once did he suggest that the BOE video record its meetings and post them on the district website.  I have been suggesting it since I joined the board in January 2017.  I have been raising the issue each month since the most recent BOE Reorgorzantion. Mr. Quatrone reported at this week’s meeting that he and the tech department are working on the initiative.


Joe Leto and Vinny Martin show themselves as self-serving hypocrites in their Facebook exchange.   


“Lodi Live” is a cell phone.  Joe Leto has a cell phone.  He can’t put his down.  Vinny Martin has a cell phone.  He drives around with one in his hand.




Everyone knows that Al M would have taped the meeting if he could have last night.  He volunteers at all events where he can. 


Vinny Martin took a cheap shot.  It was uncalled for.  But that’s Vinny Martin.  And that’s why it’s time to send him packing.
