Donald Scorzetti Should Publicly Disclose All of His Personal Conflicts of Interest With Those He Hired to Work in the Lodi Police Department Under His Supervision Within the Last Year…

Lodi residents were told that Donald Scorzetti did away with the entry level police exam so he can give preference to Lodi residents.

Lodi residents learned that the Lodi Mayor and Council never adopted the required anti-nepotism and conflict of interest policies once they eliminated the entry level police exam requirement.

Lodi residents are being told that Donald Scorzetti hired his nephew and his daughter’s boyfriend within the last year (Things that should have been addressed by anti-nepotism and conflict of interest policies.  Also, by residency preference policies.).

Lodi residents are being told that many qualified Lodi applicants have been denied employment opportunity within the Lodi police department during the same time period that Donald Scorzdetti was hiring his family.

Donald Scorzetti’s unfair hiring practices and nepotism abuses are openly inviting a lawsuit by applicants denied fair employment opportunities.

Donald Scorzetti should explain what his defense would be if a lawsuit were brought against the Borough for his unfair hiring practices. 

How much more is the Lodi Mayor and Council willing to confiscate from the Lodi taxpayers to defend Donald Scorzetti's unfair hiring practices?
