Lodi’s BOE Budget is Approaching $100,000,000. Spending Has Increased $33,047,733 Since the 2019-2020 School Year. All While the Public Has Never Been Provided a Detailed Budget and All BOE Members are Claiming to Vote on These Increases Without Seeing a Detailed Budget.

The item below appeared on this week’s BOE meeting agenda.  It’s absurd.  The new business administrator should be embarrassed to recommend it.

Lodi residents can’t afford their gas and groceries.  Homeowners can’t afford this tax increase, and neither can the tenants in which it is passed onto.

Nancy Cardone who has hundreds of thousands of Lodi tax dollars and public pension payments flowing into her household each month (and likely has her taxes frozen) has no empathy for her Lodi neighbors.
