Many Lodi Residents Have Asked Me if Scott Luna Has a Set Work Schedule with the Lodi Housing Authority Being He Conducts Borough Business in His Capacity as "Lodi Mayor" During the Work Days and Times of a Typical Housing Employee...
#4 of “NOTICE OF CHARGES SEEKING REVOCATION” Should Provide Insight into Lodi Deputy Mayor Vinny Martin’s Hiring Practices…
Vinny Martin lists that he is a retired Sergeant of
Lodi Police Department. He knew exactly
what he was doing and not doing when he chose the manager of his business.
These are Vinny Martin’s hiring practices. Keep that in mind when you look at the
noncompetitive town contracts being awarded by Vinny Martin, the no show jobs, and the
rampant fraud, waste and abuse that add a very high corruption tax on the
taxpayers of Lodi.
You can’t flip a switch to behave one way in real life
and then the total opposite when you enter Borough Hall.

Donald Scorzetti Should Address Each of the 22 Charges Listed in the Previous Post and Explain Why He Was Attending Vinny Martin's Political Fundraiser and Displaying Vinny Martin Lawn Signs During that Time Period in 2023?
Donald Scorzetti Attending a 2023 Vinny Martin Political Fundraiser
Vinny Martin really wanted Donald Scorzetti to be Lodi Police Chief and got him a lot of special treatment to get there. Donald Scorzetti should address each of the 22 charges listed in the previous post and explain why he didn't have a problem with any of them. Would he feel the same if those crimes were committed in Lodi instead of Secaucus? Very likely. Vinny Martin's "business partner" was running a "strip joint" in Lodi during the same time period.
There Were At Least 22 Charges Listed When the State Was Revoking Vinny Martin's Business License. Vinny Should Address Each Charge Individually and Explain Why Each Charge Should Not Disqualify Him from Public Office. Have You Ever Seen a Public Official Get Away With So Much Without Answering for Anything? Every News Reporter that Covered the Multiple Prostitution/Drug Busts at Martin's Business Failed Badly by Not Naming the Owner, Questioning Him, and Seeking any Answers. Were They Intimidated or Incompetent?.
Vincent Martin (Lodi's Deputy Mayor and Controversial Planning Board Member Responsible for Overdevelopment Monstrosities, Developer Funded Campaigns, Excessive Variances in Return for Payment, etc) Was a "50% Owner" and "Managing Member" of "AJ's" When it Was Repeatedly Busted for Prostitution and Illegal Drugs. Vinny Martin Settled Before the Hearing to Revoke His License and Bar Him from Holding a License for Two Years.
The State's Division of Alcohol Beverage Control filed to revoke Vinny Martin's license and bar him from holding a license for two years.
Vinny Martin and his partner settled before the hearing.
How can the State not allow Vinny Martin to continue running his business but still allow him to run Lodi?
Why hasn't one news reporter confronted Matthew Platkin about this blatant abuse and political favoritism?
Post Date: November 1, 2025
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.

During the years of violations and proceedings, Vinny Martin was listed as 50% owner and Managing Member of See Entertainment.

On Sunday, a Question Was Emailed to Vinny Martin Giving Him an Opportunity to Disclose a Possible Conflict of Interest. There Has Been No Response.
The email submitted to vmartin@lodi-nj.org is now a public
record. If a conflict of interest exists,
the public record will show that Vinny Martin refused to disclose it to the
public.
The Borough should remove the link vmartin@lodi-nj.org from its website if
Vinny Martin does not want to hear from any residents. The link vmartin@lodi-nj.org
should be removed if Vinny Martin is incapable of answering the most simple,
straightforward questions.
This blog has shown over the years that the Lodi mayor
and council, its Borough Attorney Alan Spiniello, and others have been using their
personal emails (not those listed on the Borough website) to conduct Borough business
so their unlawful actions and bad behavior would be hidden from the public record. Being they use their personal emails for official borough business; they should explain what their town emails are used for.
Maybe the Comptroller's Office Can Tell the Lodi Mayor and Council this Groundbreaking Information....

2010 Law Prohibited Sharon Salvacion from Receiving Any Annual Cash-ins for Unused Sick Days. Limited Payment Can Only Be Given One Time at Retirement. Sharon Salvacion Voted with a Conflict of Interest for Frank Quatrone’s Illegal Sick Day Payout While She Was Receiving Unlawful Annual Payments for Herself.
For how many years did Sharon Salvacion receive a special December Christmas present from the Lodi taxpayers which was unlawful? How many tens of thousands of dollars did it add up to? How much was she paid after the laws went into effect but before I began posting payroll?
A very quick blog search showed the following:
December 2020
December 2019
December 2018
Sharon Salvacion should return all money she unlawfully received. It belongs to the Lodi taxpayers.
Many Lodi taxpayers saw a $1000 municipal tax increase
last year. Sharon Salvacion did
not.
Matthew Giacobbe Really Didn't Want His Hanover Bills Posted on this Blog Because They Could Easily Be Searched. Taxpayers of Hanover Should Carefully Review His Bills, Redactions, and Disregard for the Open Public Records Act. They Should Research Giacobbe's Role in Pushing the Same Transgender Policy that He Billed So Much to Rescind. (Repost- the Bills Link is Restored)
Matthew Giacobbe
Matthew Giacobbe (using Strauss Esmay) misled Boards of Education throughout NJ into passing radical transgender Policy 5756. Then Giacobbe got rich off of the Hanover taxpayers to repeal that very same policy. In 2023, Matthew Giacobbe billed the Hanover Board of Education $111,141. You saw an August bill spike to $28,474 when the monthly bills were around $4,000 at the start of that year. I saw first-hand how Giacobbe was playing both sides of the issue and cashing in big time so I OPRAed his 2023 bills in Hanover. The Hanover BA took 53 days to fulfill my OPRA request and the bills are badly redacted. I received the bills right after my blog of over 10 years was suddenly removed. Link to Giacobbe’s 2023 bills for the Hanover BOE (Giacobbe begins on page 4):

Karen Viscana Was NEVER Elected Mayor. She Was Never a High Vote Getter for Council or Even Top 2 (She Spent Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars on Campaigns to Get to 4th Place). UNEARNED Titles and Zero Accomplishments Have Left Her Insecure and Constantly Seeking Attention.
Karen's greatest contribution to Lodi was leaving the council.
