In Recent Weeks, There Were Many News Stories about a Required Public Hearing in Newark to Alter an Unexpired Superintendent's Contract...

Last week, the Newark Superintendent did not secure five votes to get what he wanted after much opposition from the public at the required public hearing.

These news stories should remind the taxpayers of Lodi how their BOE members have violated State law for years without consequence or any oversight from State agencies. Frank Quatrone's unexpired contracts were altered multiple times without any required notices and public hearings. 


Doug Petty's unexpired contact was altered without any required notice or public hearing.


I publicly raised the issue many times prior to votes that the Lodi BOE was violating State law in bypassing required notices and public hearings to further enrich it's failed Superintendents.

I was right but it didn't matter. Taxpayer funded State agencies are useless. Board Attorneys like Matthew Giaccobe are fine breaking the law in return for payments.



Has PRIDE Candidate Mark Anthony DelMonaco's Wife or Her Associates Ever Received any Payments from Lodi for Her "Business" and Why Hasn't the Appointed Councilman Listed the "Business" on His Financial Disclosure Statement?




The "business" they so heavily promote on social media is no where to be found on DelMonaco's required annual financial disclosure statement:


Is anyone appearing on the monthly Borough bills or employed by the Borough making payments to DelMonaco's wife? Will the DelMonacos be transparent and open up their books to show the public their income before DelMonaco was appointed to the council versus after? Are there any books? Is there any reported income? All Lodi voters should demand answers and transparency before November 4th.


Too Many Lying Politicians for One Photo...

Mikie Sherrill's entire political career has been built on lies. Everything about her is fake including her name. She cheats with stock trades. She cheated in the naval academy. She has been shielded from media scrutiny because she is a wealthy, white liberal suffering from TDS.

August 2025 Bills for the Lodi Board of Education...

Just on page 1, you see Lodi tax dollars in the amount of $22,757.58 going towards Nancy Cardone's April Elections to suppress voter turnout, one of Cleary Giacobbe's multiple bills on this set ($11,939.50) for a politician run firm that pays board members for its public contracts and $3,600.00 to Laura Bishop for "public relations"-to tell the Lodi taxpayers not to believe their lying eyes.

Mary Amoroso, Thomas Sullivan, and Germaine Ortiz Deserve to Be Thrown Out of Office this November for Making a Prostitution/Cocaine Peddler a Supervisor at the Bergen County Juvenile Detention…

Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, or Unaffiliated voter, you should not want someone involved in prostitution/cocaine businesses supervising Juvenile Detention.

James Tedesco and his Democrat Commissioners employed Vinny Martin during this bust:

Lodi By The Numbers: Lodi Deputy Mayor Vincent Martin Has Not Been Honest with the Residents of Lodi About His Involvement with the Charges Listed Below. These Proceedings Were All Taking Place While He was Lodi Deputy Mayor. He Was Never Mentioned in One News Story and No State Agency Informed the Residents of Lodi. If the State Was Revoking His License, He Was Not Fit to Serve on Our Council.

Read the timeline of Vinny Martin’s County employment for yourselves and then ask these horrible Commissioners to answer for their actions:

Matthew Giaccobe Has Been Giving Money to BOE Candidates During the Term of His Contract. A "Reportable Individual Contribution" is Now Defined as Over $200 so Look at What Matthew Giaccobe and His Managing Partners Did in Middletown...

Link to story on Patch:

https://patch.com/new-jersey/middletown-nj/middletown-boe-rehires-politically-connected-lawyer-bruce-padula

Some BOE members and many government watchdogs throughout New Jersey are pointing out how Cleary Giaccobe drives up legal costs yet provides worse service than previous board attorneys. They don't understand how the firm is all over the State getting BOE contracts. 

It's more than obvious that Matthew Giaccobe is paying BOE members for his contracts and is never held accountable for poor performance due to those payments.

Matthew Giaccobe's reported pay-to-play abuses in other districts like Middletown should leave Lodi residents asking: how much has this firm poured in to the Nancy Cardone campaigns in recent years where a lot of money was spent without listing contributors? 

Taxpayers throughout New Jersey should demand that all BOE members awarding contracts to Giaccobe disclose how much they sold out for.




As Hudson County Prosecutor, What Did Ester Suarez Do About Vinny Martin's Prostitution/Cocaine Business? Apparently, Nothing.

The reported prostitution and drug busts at Vinny Martin's Secaucus "business" went on for years before the State's ABC moved to revoke Vinny Martin's liquor license.

https://lodioverhaul.blogspot.com/2025/07/lodi-deputy-mayor-vincent-martin-has.html  

Secaucus is in Hudson County. Where was Ester Suarez during all of this? How come her office never charged the owners with anything?

Did Joseph Lagana act in any way to protect Vinny Martin?

Where's "Woobsie's"?

On August 24th, I posted:

http://lodioverhaul.blogspot.com/2025/08/mark-delmonaco-was-appointed-to-lodi.html

One day later, the appointed Lodi councilman, Mark Anthony Delmonaco,(handpicked by Vinny Martin and Donald Scorzetti) submitted his required financial disclosure statement:

The disclosure is dishonest.

Matthew Giacobbe and Joseph Lagana Announce a New Law Partner...

 

This is how the far-left Star-Ledger described her not too long ago:

Matthew Giaccobe was the law partner of Joe Ferriero at the time of Ferriero's indictment and conviction. They were all part of the same pay-to-play, influence-peddling circle. Link to past post:

As Soon as Lodi’s State Senator Joseph Lagana Joined the Matthew Giacobbe Firm, He Was Used to Sell Access to Other State Senators….

An email chain released by “opramachine” for the period beginning 2020 shows that Joseph Lagana and the principal partners in his firm were spending their time arranging for their client, Stephen Sacco of the Monmouth JIF, to meet with State Senator Vin Gopal.  The chain begins:

The chain ends:

Link to an online OPRA response:

RE Monmouth JIF.pdf

You would hope that law firms receiving public contracts would spend their time providing legal services to benefit the taxpayers footing the bill.  Unfortunately, this firm appears to be receiving public contracts to sell access and peddle influence.  The email chain  speaks for itself.

Matthew Giacobbe spent a lot of time at a Lodi BOE meeting whining about these posts:

Lodi By The Numbers: This was terribly disappointing to read today…

Lodi By The Numbers: Once Again, Lodi was Deceived and Taken Advantage by a Politician Run Law Firm (Post Date: September 18, 2019)…

Time has shown my posts to be very accurate.
