The difference between Lodi and Paterson is Lodi's school taxes account for over 60% of the property tax bill whereas Paterson's school taxes account for 20%. Lodi's increases will be much worse than Paterson's. No amount of increased state aid can sustain the reckless spending you see in Paterson and Lodi.
Lodi taxpayers are being set up now for big tax hikes in upcoming years. Refer back to this post when you see it happening.

In 2016, Christ Christie nominated Elissa
Mizzone Testa for Administration Law Judge (along with a long list of other horrible appointments).
As ALJ, Elissa Mizzone Testa allowed
NJEA Attorney Gail Oxfeld to write the Decision for her: Kwapniewski v
Curioni. That decision has been used
over the last 5 years to harass and silence any reform minded, decent BOE members
throughout New Jersey that don’t support Phil Murphy’s destructive indoctrination
directives for our public schools. Phil
Murphy and the NJEA used Elissa Mizzone Testa to weaponize our state government
to go after speech not agreeable to them.
In 2019, I had filed a judicial conduct complaint against Elissa Mizzone Testa for her abuses.
The Advisory Committee on Judicial
Conduct informed me that ALJs are not considered "Judges" and therefore they could not investigate Testa. It advised me to provide my complaint to Testa's assignment judge. That assignment person told me to provide my complaint when I filed "Exceptions". Nobody in the Phil Murphy administration ever acknowledged the complaint or addressed it one way or the other.
I am sure Elissa Mizzone Testa will find herself at the center of many controversies as Superior Court Judge in Passaic County because she has proven to be such unethical and dishonest. And next time, she can be investigated by the Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct for her blatant abuses.
The Lodi Mayor's sister is a full-time employee of Paramus and receives other part-time positions in other towns via Luna's political activities. Below is a recent financial disclosure statement.
The Lodi Mayor's sister is receiving a full-time salary form the Lodi taxpayers for very limited part-time work (her two weeks pay is listed below). Since being named CFO, the Lodi mayor and council have been packing in "Financial Administration" with a bunch of new employees to perform the duties of the person they named CFO/Treasurer.
