There is no question that ethics violations were committed by Charles Cuccia and Tony Luna:
With all of Charles Cuccia’s and Tony Luna's connections to state politicians and officials, the “State of New Jersey Local
Finance Board” still found them guilty of violations.
They did so because the violations were so blatant and serious. The penalties were too small. Charles Cuccia and Tony Luna should have been
ecstatic to only receive $1,200 and $1,000 fines and still keep their
jobs. The State of New Jersey was too
kind and generous to them.
Why didn’t Charles Cuccia just pay his
$1,200 fine instead of running up tens of thousands of dollars of legal bills for
the Lodi taxpayers? It’s mind boggling. Why isn't Charles Cuccia using his own money to appeal his fine?
Everything in Lodi is upside down. The Lodi mayor and council are using Mary McDonnell to appeal Charles Cuccia’s fine for something in which he is clearly guilty. The Lodi Mayor are also using Mary McDonnell
to go after a Lodi Police Captain that did nothing wrong. The Lodi taxpayers should not tolerate these
abuses and misappropriation of public funds.
