The Truth about your Lodi Property Tax Bill…


Lodi BOE Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2018 p. 110


The school tax levy approved by the Lodi BOE this month was $38,556,561.  This is lower than the BOE tax levy in 2013 (when Lodi was overtaxed for the unnecessary administration building).


School spending has gone up a lot in the last few years but the school tax levy has not.  Lodi has been receiving millions more in state aid and the Lodi BOE now has five members that provide oversight (checks and balance). 


Lodi PRIDE wrote on a recent campaign mailer that the BOE “is the reason why taxes have gone up the last two years”.


You can see for yourself with the figures above that the Lodi mayor and council are liars and frauds.  They are the reason why Lodi taxes have gone up. 


Two weeks after the Election, PRIDE still has NOT disclosed its campaign contributors and campaign expenditures (clear violation of the law).  PRIDE sent out multiple mailers full of lies and slander and Lodi still doesn't know who paid for it.
