Doug Petty continues to be paid by Lodi not to work because Lodi has a really bad board attorney and some really bad board members.

What did Laura Cima see in Doug Petty when she led Nancy Cardone's efforts to get him a $27,000 raise? Can she please explain?  What did anyone in Lodi ever see in Doug Petty?  

Doug Petty spent his time in Lodi doing favors for the Luna and Cardone families so they would allow him to continue hiring all his friends from Hanover, Newark, his high school days, etc.

Interesting How Matthew Giacobbe Facilitates Illegal Payments in Lodi But Challenges a Payment in Wayne in Which Two Courts Already Rendered Decisions...

Link to today's article on nj.com:

Matthew Giacobbe always trash talks about wanting to depose people just so he and the politicians at his firm can drive up their legal bills. He stands for nothing, disregards State statures, and shows no consistency from town to town.

Link to past posts about Matthew Giacobbe's actions with Frank Quatrone's payout that he tried to hide from the public:

The Lodi Mayor and Council Have No Records for Soliciting the Services of John Molinelli, Ever Receiving Proposals from Anyone, or Appointing Molinelli Hearing Officer Until After the One-Sided Hit Job Was Already Conducted…


Below was item #3 on of my recent OPRA Request:

3) A copy of the Borough`s initial solicitation of John Molinelli to be hearing officer in the Teresa Grillo case (emails, written correspondence, proposals, etc. from whoever was representing the borough in seeking services from John Molinelli)

 

This was the only record turned over:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ooeBavWIn7gOiD00zhLOhT1wvteRpjuU/view?usp=sharing



The first Resolution was dated January 11, 2022.  Hearings already took place.  The second Resolution was dated February 15, 2022.  Hearings already took place.


Donald Scorzetti already slept his way through hearings in December 2021.



This is what the Lodi Mayor and Council want you to believe:

They had their Borough Manager Vinny Caruso call John Molinelli or meet him somewhere (because they claim no written letters or emails exist) and hire him without any written proposals, approved Resolutions, contracts spelling out agreed upon compensation, campaign contribution disclosures, etc.


And then the Mayor and Council want you to believe that that the hearings were fair and impartial.


This OPRA response raises the following questions:


Why did the Lodi Mayor and Council have Vinny Caruso hand-select John Molinelli without any selection process (none whatsoever)?  Why was Molinelli the one and only choice without ever reviewing one proposal from any prospective hearing officer? What instructions were given John Molinelli prior to any hearings?  How can you not produce one public record for your selection? Who made the decision to not keep any records until after hearings were already conducted?


This is the one and only candidate that the Lodi Mayor and Council considered  for their political hit job:

Christmas in July or Whatever the Inverse of that Would Be…

Lodi Mayor Scott Luna has his niece on the Lodi payroll all year round and is listing her as “Recreation Summer Workers" during the Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall.

 

Lodi Mayor Scott Luna has his niece working under his son.

 

This same niece is a full-time employee of the Lodi Board of Education.  She appears on the Lodi BOE payroll and the Lodi Borough payroll simultaneously each month.

"...resulting in the following person's acquiring in the aggregate all of the ownership thererof..."

 

“Lodi Prima Facie” was the first to report on Lodi Deputy Mayor Vicent Martin becoming an owner:

 

• Lodi, NJ - prima facie •: "Tony Lodi" plus... (lodinjprimafaci.blogspot.com)

 

Once again, why has Vinny Martin gotten a free pass when records show that he is the owner on paper?


Vinny Martin lives in New Jersey.  The other listed owner lives in Parkland, Florida.  Who was running the New Jersey business during the multiple prostitution/drug busts?


Why haven't any Lodi council members called for Vinny Martin's resignation?  Why are Lodi council members holding political fundraisers with Vinny Martin without disclosing where the money is coming from?  Dirty money. Complete lawlessness by Vinny Martin and the rest of the Lodi Mayor and Council.


Foolish Pride

Because the Lodi BOE Chose to Hire Incompetent Paramus Politicians instead of Legitimate School Attorneys, Doug Petty is Still Being Paid $17,781/Month Not to Work and Continues Collecting Under an Illegal Contract…



Lagana’s lackey, Joseph Garcia, was never pro-active in the Doug Petty matter.  He continues to waste Lodi taxpayers’ money and time.  His incompetence and failures are overlooked because Joseph Lagana got Garcia his job at “Cleary Giacobbe” and pays for Garcia's public positions through campaign contributions. 



Reminder:  Doug Petty’s current contract that replaced an unexpired contract was approved illegally because the Board was represented by the politician run firm "Cleary Giacobbe".

Vinny Martin Recently Changed His Linkedin to "Retired". Why? Why Hasn't He Ever Listed "Ownership" of a Strip Club?


Vinny Martin was so proud of being made an "Owner" of Aj's Secaucus when he spoke to a Record reporter in 2017.



But Vinny Martin has never listed his ownership/employment with the strip club on any of his campaign literature or on his borough bio page.  What is he hiding?  Why did Vinny Martin go from being a prideful owner to being ashamed?

Vinny Martin never mentioned whatever this is ("ALL ATM LLC") either:



Below is Vinny Martin's Linkedin page as of today (very recently changed).  No mention of his strip club or other businesses that he proclaimed to own.
