After last nights Lodi School Board of Education Meeting…….

people still have many questions that were not answered, and apparently never will be answered.

Several taxpayers in attendance did overhear comments made by Frank Licata to a female resident. The comment was about the resident's son.

The comment was sensitive, so just where did Frank get his information from…

• From his employment at the City of Hackensack?

• From his Councilwomen wife, Lodi Borough records?

• From his daughter at the County Courts?

• From his son at the Lodi Housing Authority?

• From his other son, from Lodi Board of Ed records, the unseen Lodi Drug Alliance  records, or     the Lodi Boys & Girls Club records?

If someone did have knowledge of this sensitive information, why would he make this known, aloud, at a Public Meeting, with public in attendance, in a Public Building?

Another note: A meeting was held at the Lodi Board of Education building at 8 Hunter Street, Lodi, NJ and my goodness, no one saw any part of the building falling down around them, amazing !!!

TO ALL.......

In Luna's words.....

How many times have we heard from this man, that "we" should be saving money, consolidating, share things, put things under "one roof".

But, yet, another "newsworthy" article appears in a local paper to make himself "look good", But NOT really.

The following are Luna's recent press releases.

http://garfield.dailyvoice.com/news/lodi-to-rent-out-vfw-hall/606672/


http://www.northjersey.com/community-news/town-makes-agreement-to-rent-the-vfw-hall-1.1457895?page=1

and here is a "quote", by Luna,  from those articles.

"Some of the programs we're going to be doing there are distribution of the uniforms, coaches meetings, workshops, Rutgers safety courses, anti-bullying courses, the Junior Rams beefsteak dinner, the (Junior Rams) wrestling dinner, travel and recreation soccer registration, team photos, the summer camp counseling, cheerleading clinics, AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) meetings on Thursday evenings, Italian-American forums, the PBA (Police Benevolent Association) meetings ..." said the borough manager.."

How is it that with all of the taxpayer monies spent to build and maintain some of the "PUBLIC" buildings we have around town, we once again, have to spend more of "our" money for a "New" place to rent for activities.

So lets take the above LUNA quote and break it down….

1) "distribution of the uniforms, coaches meetings"
    Okay, the words "uniforms & coach" would indicate a "school" thing….Use one of the many
    schools in town, and real sure that the Coaches have offices somewhere.

2) "workshops, Rutgers safety courses, anti-bullying courses"
    sounds like training or instruction for Boro Employees/Teachers, okay, find an empty classroom
    and use it, or the Senior Center, or the Community Building, or see Ciofalo….

3) "the Junior Rams beefsteak dinner, the (Junior Rams) wrestling dinner"
    collect donations, and rent one of the "Local" Catering halls like the Elan or Cieli Blu.

4) " travel and recreation soccer registration"
    Use the "Belli Rec Dept" office, as it should be used.

5)  "team photos"
    Use one of the many "Billion Dollar" turf fields we Taxpayers put in, would be a nice background.

6) "the summer camp counseling"
    Since it's a "Summer" thing, utilize the amphitheater, or when it rains,  the Community Building,
   or  learn to pitch a tent.

7) "cheerleading clinics"
    Once again, a school thing, use the High School or Middle School gym, if the Junior Police
     Academy can use the gym, so can the "School Cheerleading Squads".

8) "AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) meetings on Thursday evenings"
    Lets see…each Firehouse in town has a large "meeting room" in it, no alcohol is allowed in a
    Firehouse,  so it might be a good thing. (VFW has a bar) The Firemen would only lose their "free
     man-cave" for one night a week. Why is this a Taxpayer responsibility?

9) "Italian-American forums"
    If this PRIVATE Organization can afford to give out 14 karat gold awards, they can find their own
     space,  and pay for it too. This should Not be a Taxpayer responsibility.

10) "PBA (Police Benevolent Association) meetings"
    I really think 46 people can fit into the Community Building for a meeting. ( and bring your own

    cookies )

SINCE LUNA IS LEAVING, & MASOPUST IS COMING IN, I GUESS WE WILL USING THE "MOOSE LODGE" MORE.

AND THIS NEWS ARTICLE FROM OCTOBER, 2015, SO RENTING THE VFW SEEMS A LITTLE STRANGE….
http://garfield.dailyvoice.com/news/lodi-seniors-flock-to-weekly-club-meeting/594633/

 QUOTE FROM ABOVE ARTICLE

"Anthony “Tony Lodi” Cardinalle — ex-owner of Satin Dolls, the New Jersey strip club used as the Bada Bing on “The Sopranos” — is going to spend a month behind bars, according to Gang Land News, after he “[spilled] his guts about a real NJ mob crew that was run for years by powerhouse Genovese capo Tino Fiumara.”
 

http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/real-life-owner-of-bada-bing-strip-club-turns-rat
 

QUOTE FROM THE ABOVE ARTICLE

"In December 2013, and probably months earlier, big bad, Mister Real Life Tony Soprano, “Tony Lodi” began cooperating with federal agents and prosecutors.

The manager of Satin Dolls, Cardinalle’s strip club in Lodi, New Jersey, already had heard the news. According to Cardinalle’s lawyer, “Tony Lodi” isn’t an owner of the club itself, although his wife once was and his daughter is now. Cardinalle does own the real estate and the buildings the clubs are in. It’s safe to say he owns the club."

I KNOW, JUST A "LOCAL" BUSINESSMAN DOING GOOD IN THE COMMUNITY!!!!

AND NOW, WHO GETS "HANDPICKED" TO FILL MASOPUST'S  COUNCIL SEAT????(wink, wink)

Who is next in line for the Money Making Throne?

 "In the past, Luna has also run for county freeholder and state assemblyman positions.

Other members of the Luna family have a history in Lodi local government as well.

"Before me, my uncle was here, Joe Luna. He was a mayor, a five-term mayor where you had to get elected, not appointed," explained Luna.

Joseph P. Luna. this park was dedicated in his honor and dedication of his service and devotion to the borough of Lodi on September 19, 1997. Mayor Luna served as Mayor and Councilmen from 1942-1951.
He was indicted in 1951 for failure to enforce gambling laws. Later the charges were dropped in 1955

Luna’s cousin, Tom DeSomma, also served on the council in the past."

SO PLEASE VOTE & HELP THESE PEOPLE OUT !!!

Only in Lodi.....

Why do Lodi Taxpayers have to funnel money to the Lodi Boys & Girls Club and LodiCares, and promote the businesses of Jamie Edward Ciofalo.

I have NO desire to donate any monies to either organization, but it seems we, as taxpayers, do not have a choice. 

Take this as an example…….
I am a teacher in Lodi, I am required by law to be trained in HIB, I must take a day/days for that training. I am being paid for the day/days under "professional training" according to my contract. (taxpayer pays).

http://www.perc.state.nj.us/publicsectorcontracts.nsf

I enroll in the HIB class through Ciofalo at the Lodi Boys & Girls Club. I pay $99.00 or more to Ciofalo's company, but I get reimbursed for those fees by the Lodi Board of Ed. or use a Purchase Order, either way the taxpayer ends up paying.

http://www.edtraining.org/--cost--.html

Some of us do remember the "Cash at the Door" that was once advertised.

Ciofalo takes his companies portion of that fee, and turns (proceeds) the rest over to the Lodi Boys & Girls Club) and those "proceeds" are placed in Lodi Boys & Girls Club or the LodiCares.org "revenue account" how much exactly, is unknown.  (NOTE: Non-profit Officers, Directors, Trustees and Employees can be compensated.)

Although the Lodi Boys & Girls Club receives Federal, State, County GRANT monies, their books, as a non-profit, are not open to the public. Their IRS 990 forms can found online.

http://990finder.foundationcenter.org/990results.aspx?990_type=&fn=Lodi&st=NJ&zp=&ei=&fy=&action=Find

DO THEY REALLY NEED MY DONATION/TAX DOLLARS?

According to the Lodicares.org website,  "Lodi CARES is 100% volunteer-operated
100% of your donation supports our mission", but most of it's executives are part of the Lodi Board of Education and Lodi Boys & Girls Club.  Ciofalo is also the Vice-President/ Executive Board of Lodicares.org

Ciofalo's latest endeavor, is an author. Wonder how many students will have to purchase his book? Or will the Lodi BOE make it part of the curriculum? The taxpayers pay for school books, right?

http://www.haleyhousebooks.com/haley-house-authors

How does Ciofalo run all of theses businesses, hold a full-time position at School, authors books….wow. IS HE RUNNING THESE BUSINESSES ON BOROUGH TIME, OR ON BOROUGH COMPUTERS? Others have also been wondering. The following are examples of what information was found.

According to one of Ciofalo's ads.....

He held a class on May 15, 2014 at the Lodi Boys & Girls Club gym, and was paid for a "Professional Day" by us taxpayers. He was NOT there to learn something, he was there as a BUSINESS OWNER, teaching a class.

On his business twitter feed, he thanks people for attending his classes. This is being allowed by the Superintendent of the Lodi School District, The Bergen County & State of New Jersey Departments of Education.  AND BEING DONE AT THE TAXPAYERS EXPENSE.

 In the real world, if anyone took this many Thursdays & Fridays off in 184 days (extending your weekends), you would be terminated. (Special favors for special friends)

No wonder our schools are best in the state.

Do any of Ciofalo's businesses pay these fees to the Lodi Boys & Girls Club, or do we taxpayers get a discount? 

And of course EVERY month the Lodi Boys & Girls club gets even MORE tax dollars....

This is Lodi, NJ.

                          Mayor Anthony Luna says he refused to reappoint his uncle, Anthony DeSomma

                          racial remark at a board meeting last September.

                          In a recent interview, DeSomma expressed regret about "an expression that slipped                           out" during the meeting. Nevertheless, he asserted that he was ousted because he had
