Sharon should also explain what responsibility she would
have if she knew someone in her department was being paid for a no-show job. Would she be required or obligated to report
it?

Sharon Salvacion Should Explain a Regular Workday with Her Co-Worker Gary Paparozzi...
Gavin Newsom is Like the Lodi BOE (Nancy Cardone). They Need a PR Firm and Your Tax Dollars to Tell You Not to Believe Your Lying Eyes or Your Tax Bills.....
A "Work Day" is Just One Big Party for James Tedesco and His Political Appointees...
There is never enough time in a work week for these politicians to celebrate themselves in the way that they most deserve. Everyone should be so grateful for the "service" that these politicians provide. You can't put a price on their "service".

In Addition to Gary Paparozzi's NO SHOW Job on Payroll, and Monthly Billing as "Planner", the Mayor and Council Just Gave Paparozzi $40,000 More for "Lodi Tax Map"...
Paparozzi's bill appears on page 26 of the March Bills
Below:
If you haven’t realized yet, Paparozzi is a fraudster. The Mayor and Council have never been able to justify
his different pay arrangements or made-up titles. They can't provide any records for his salaried position.
OPRA Request Just Submitted Regarding Gary Paparozzi's Payments to Conduct "Tax Map Upgrades" that Were Supposed to Have Completed by 2023.
A copy of all invoices submitted by “Paparozzi Associates” (Gary Paparozzi) for Tax Map upgrades during the Calendar Years 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026.
A copy of the contract between the Borough of Lodi and
“Paparozzi Associates” to conduct a Tax Map Upgrade.
A copy of the Resolution in which “Paparozzi
Associates” was hired to conduct Tax Map Upgrades.
A copy of any advertisement or request for proposals
posted by the Borough of Lodi seeking vendors to conduct a Tax Map Upgrade.
A copy of Gary Paparozzi’s resume on file at the time
he was hired to conduct Tax Map upgrades showing that he was a qualified vendor
and had prior experience in conducting Tax Map upgrades.
A copy of any emergency ordinances adopted by the Lodi
mayor and council to pay for the Tax Map upgrades.
It is Being Reported that Nancy Cardone Was on the Premises of “Paparozzi Associates” on Sunday. Can She Please Explain?
The Lodi Mayor and Council increased municipal taxes
this year by 15.65%. Gary Paparozzi funds their political campaigns with our
tax dollars.
Nancy Cardone voted for a big School Tax increase this
week. Is Gary Paparozzi also funding her
political campaign with our tax dollars?
She did just vote to hire Paparozzi’s son a few months ago.
Nancy Cardone should disclose if her campaign is being
funded with stolen Lodi tax dollars.
As Lodi property taxes are skyrocketing, Nancy Cardone
should comment on the controversy surrounding Gary Paparozzi’s illegal pay arrangements
funded by an unbelievable amount of our tax Lodi tax dollars.
Marc Schrieks Told the Bergen County Tax Administrator in 2022 That They Expected the Tax Maps to Be Completed in the Calendar Year 2023. Lodi is Still Making Payments to “Paparozzi Associates” for Tax Maps in the Year 2026. Maybe Lodi Should Have Hired a Legitimate "Vendor".
This is the letter from Marc Schrieks dated September 20, 2022. Marc Schrieks said they would adopt an “emergency ordinance” to pay Paparozzi which means they didn’t budget for the expense.
This is “Paparozzi Associates” on the March 2026 bills
with a description “PRIOR YEAR BILLS”.
Here are some prior payments that went to Gary
Paparozzi for “Tax Maps”.

"for the purpose of achieving greater efficiency and voter turnout,..." Post Date: April 18, 2025
This Resolution has directly led to record low voter participation in Lodi Board of Education Elections.
Nancy Cardone knowingly and deliberately lied with her Resolution for the sole purpose to maintain power so she can continue to add even more family members to the BOE and Borough payroll (as you will soon see).
It's one thing to lie on campaign mailers. It's another to lie on Board Resolutions. The Board Attorney and Business Administrator should be held accountable for their participation in presenting Nancy Cardone's fraud on the Resolution posted above. It was a very costly lie.
The Lodi Taxpayers should not be paying tens of thousands of dollars more each year just so nobody will vote and Nancy Cardone can hire more relatives.
The Lodi Taxpayers should not be paying a dishonest Board Attorney and Business Administrator to draw up Resolutions that list the exact opposite outcome of what is intended.
Nancy Cardone’s Lies About Moving our BOE Elections are Worse than You Thought. (Post Date: March 20, 2024)
Nancy Cardone took tens of thousands of your tax dollars
that were earmarked for “education” to move our BOE Elections from November to
April. She did this shortly after her
two running mates were defeated. That
showed clear motive. It was 100% politically
motivated. It was all about Nancy’s thirst to retain power at any expense.
Nancy Cardone used dishonest hack, Matthew Giacobbe, to draw up a Resolution stating that the move was for “purposes of achieving greater efficiency in voter turnout.” An article by Kristi Cattafi and Megan Burrow quickly debunked that claim. Link to article below:
Lodi moves school elections back to April. Here's what changes (northjersey.com)
Here are two more items to add to the list of Nancy
Cardone lies:
Lie: Nancy Cardone said she was moving the Election
to let people vote on the School Budget.
Truth: The Lodi voters will NOT be voting on the
school budget.
Lie: Nancy Cardone and Matthew Giacobbe spoke of efficiency
in voter turnout.
Truth: Nancy Cardone cut our Election Day voting hours from 6 AM- 8 PM to 2 PM- 8 PM. She cut our voting day from 14 hours to 6 hours. Nancy Cardone took away our opportunity and access to County run Early Voting Sites. I had been voting in Garfield on a Sunday for the last few Lodi BOE Elections held in November. Nancy Cardone removed that option.
Nancy Cardone and her five board puppets took our tax money
to limit our access to vote. They are
using our tax dollars to work against us.
The Lodi Board of Education did not budget for an
additional Election. That means Nancy
Cardone took money that should have been going into the classrooms to pursue her
desire for power and control.
That is NOT someone that cares about students. That is someone consumed with herself.
The only recourse for the Lodi taxpayers
that were deceived and defrauded by Nancy Cardone and Matthew Giacobbe is to
make sure you vote in this Board race and make sure you soundly reject Nancy
Cardone’s newest hand puppets.
You must elect people that properly use
public funds for education and not for corrupting our Elections with voter suppression.

With this Proposed Bill in the News Today, Nancy Cardone Should Disclose Whose Idea it Was for Lodi to Schedule Spring Break Weeks After Easter...
Did Nancy Cardone schedule Lodi's Spring Break to coincide with her wasteful April Elections to further suppress voter turnout (knowing many voters will be away)?
Or did she schedule it far from Easter to insult Christians? Although she reads in Church for votes, she is a far left, woke activist.
There has to be some reason.
Did Nancy Cardone consult school employees that might be inconvenienced by her odd school calendar? Did she consult Lodi families that could have siblings attending a combination of Lodi, Charter, County, South Bergen Jointure, private school, etc.?

Why is Scott Luna Still Taking a County Vehicle Home When His Name Has Already Been Replaced on the County Website?
Bergen County taxes have been going up too much and the County forced a revaluation upon Lodi to collect more in taxes.
It's not the taxpayers' responsibility to pay for politicians personal vehicles even after their employment ends.

The Lodi Housing Authority's Meeting Agenda Shows it Created a New Position for Scott Luna for April 1st...
As Mayor, Scott Luna voted to appoint these Housing
Commissioners. They turn around
and create a new position for him. There
are too many conflicts of interest for the Lodi mayor to be working for the
Lodi Housing Authority.
The "Chairman" of the LHA is Albert DiChiara- Scott Luna's former running mate and council member.
The Lodi Housing Authority is Not Picking A Person to Fill a Job. They are Picking a Job to Fill a Politician.
Reminder: this was the job description written specifically for LHA Vice Chairman Daniel Cody’s son in 2024.

Lodi
By The Numbers: Search results for cody son
Soon, we will see the job description written specifically for Lodi Mayor Scott Luna so the public can see what changed from Dan Cody to Scott Luna and why (Operations/Maintenance Administrator vs. Director of Staff Operations).
How Many Marijuana Business Do the Lodi Politicians Want to Place in a Two Square Mile Town? They Want Everyone Broke and High Because a Sober Mind Would Never Vote for Them.
Michael Apicella's board wants to fill Lodi with
oversized apartment complexes and marijuana businesses because there is big
money behind both of them.

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.

Lodi's Nancy Pelosi Changes Her Educational Background Every Election. Honesty is the Best Policy.

http://lodioverhaul.blogspot.com/search?q=Cardone+Montclair+degree
An elementary teacher with a supposed master's degree from Jersey City in "Urban Administration" (lacking any knowledge or ability in school technology & lacking any high school experience or secondary certifications) was placed in the Lodi High School library to indoctrinate high school students how to vote in elections to benefit the political organization that enriched her and every member of her family.
Nancy's Cardone sister was the superintendent at the time and arranged this.
"M.A. Nepotism Specialist". She couldn't tell you how to turn on a computer, but she could tell you how to vote.

How Can Nancy Cardone Push a 5.5% Tax Increase Without Providing the Public With a “Detailed Budget” for the 2026-2027 School Year (or Any of the Last Six Years)? People Don’t Hide Public Records Unless they Are Doing Really Bad Things.
The last “Detailed Budget” provided to the Lodi residents was for the 2019-2020 school year and it was posted by me.
Link to the 2019-2020 Lodi Board of Education Budget:

Some of the LEA activists at the time accused me of
posting wrong salaries for employees. I
didn’t make the budget. Frank Quatrone
and Marc Capizzi created the budgets and created the figures. I posted their
budgets so the public can match their tax levy and operating expenses to
something concrete.
The public had the right to see what they were
supposedly paying for. The public quickly learned that Frank Quatrone were Marc
Capizzi were padding the budgets really bad for the purpose of attaining millions
left over each year for their $7.5M administration building, illegal payouts and other pet projects.
The Lodi BOE’s budget increases are off the
charts. They are not normal. They were camouflaged in recent years by millions more in
additional aid that poured in. The Lodi
BOE was irresponsible and reckless as it never prepared for when its aid would decrease
or even remail flat.
The BOE is operating with public funds. The public has every right to demand a detailed
budget. The public has every right to question
why one hasn’t been provided during the last six years. The public should ask
Nancy Cardone why she had Douglas Petty and at least two of her business
administrators wrongfully deny OPRA requests for a “Detailed Budget” (a basic
public record).
Are New Jersey’s Establishment, Uni-Party State Senators Frequently Getting Together at the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City While Using Their Campaign Accounts and Listing it as “Candidate Travel”?
Every Campaign Report shows “Democrat” Joseph Lagana using
his special interest campaign cash at the Borgata Casino.
Campaign Reports show “Republican” John Bramnick using his special interest campaign cash at the Borgata Casino during the same filing periods.

Matthew Giacobbe boasted at a Lodi BOE meeting that he had both a Democrat member of the legislature (Joseph Lagana) and a Republican (Sean Kean). I told Giacobbe that both his partners are bad for billing and selling influence.

Nancy Cardone Never Apologized for Voting to Hire Her Running Mate’s Girlfriend and then Lying in a Sworn Statement to the School Ethics Commission ("Under Penalty of Perjury")...
In 2017, Nancy Cardone and Donald Scorzetti were running
mates for Lodi Board of Education.
During their first month on the Board in January 2018, Nancy Cardone voted
to hire Donald Scorzetti’s girlfriend in the most unfair process where not one
other external candidate could apply, and the internal candidates were not considered.
Nancy Cardone is on video where a discussion took place
prior to the vote disclosing the relationship, the conflict of interest, and
the unfair hiring process.
Yet, Nancy Cardone sent this sworn statement to the School
Ethics Commission.
Nancy Cardone managed Donald Scorzetti’s failed 2016 campaign.
Nancy Cardone ran as Donald Scorzetti’s running mate
in 2017.
Nancy Cardone is on video where the Scorzetti relationship
was discussed.
Yet, Nancy Cardone swore that she had no knowledge of
the relationship.
Someone as dishonest as Nancy Cardone should not be
serving on a Lodi Board of Education.
This was the ethics complaint:
