The Lodi Mayor and Council Knew for Over a Year About a Revaulation Order. They Hid it From the Public Because They Have No Money in Their Budget, Their Tax Maps are a Mess, and They Don’t Want Anyone to Know About Big Tax Increases Until After the May Election (Post Date: January 29, 2023)…

 


Marc Schrieks requested an extension because the "vendor" he engaged would need some time to upadate the Tax Maps.  The "vendor" Marc Schrieks is referencing is Gary Paparozzi- a former appointed mayor of Lodi and a current full-time Borough Employee.

Lodi By The Numbers: Gary Paparozzi, a Full-Time Lodi Borough Employee, Was Paid $25,501.80 Additionally in October. He Is Receiving Payments as an Employee and as a Vendor. (lodioverhaul.blogspot.com)

What qualifies Gary Paparozzi to update tax maps?  The only experience Gary Paparozzi has with Tax records is from when he drastically lowered the assessments for himself and others "in house" while raising taxes on everyone else.

Lodi By The Numbers: Gary Paparozzi's tax assessment “MIRACULOUSLY” dropped by over $150,000… (lodioverhaul.blogspot.com)

Gary Paparozzi is a full-time employee of Lodi and holds contracts with Garfield, Saddle Brook, Paterson, etc.  When is he supposedly updating tax maps for Lodi?  How can Lodi pay someone simultaneously as a full-time employee and as a “vendor”?

How did Marc Schrieks solicit proposals for updating tax maps?  Why did Gary Parozzi need more time when towns a lot larger like Fair Lawn and Teaneck did not seek extensions (only Lodi and Bergenfield received extensions).

How much does Lodi plan on paying Gary Paparozzi to update tax maps and why would you need an emergency ordinance to fund his payments?  The Lodi Mayor and Council have no money in their budget for any transfers when you have hundreds of thousands of dollars for Donald Scorzetti’s personal vendettas and enough money to place every member of the Luna and Martin families on the monthly payroll?

Lodi is a cesspool of corruption as our State agencies continue to look the other way. 

Gary Paprozzi is the “vendor” referenced in Marc Schrieks’ letter posted below.
