ONE SIDED FOR A REASON

The following information is a matter of Public Record.......

http://www.northjersey.com/story/news/2017/06/29/boe-wrongfully-approves-ballot-question/436460001/

Both of Kristie Cattafi Larkin's parents work/worked for LBOE member Michael Nardino, the former Director of the Lodi Boys & Girls Club….. Kristie's husband is a Police Officer here in Bergen County….(got to honor that thin blue line, right President Dom?)

Kim Antista Cattafi. Finance Director at Boys & Girls Clubs of Lodi/Hackensack

Thomas C. Cataffi,President
Boys and Girls Club of Lodi and Hackensack
December 2011 to ?

Really have not heard much about him since his arrest last August. He did have to appear in front of then Lodi Municipal Judge Tracie Nunno D’Amico — who is married to Lodi High School Principal Frank D’Amico, whose mother is Lodi Borough Clerk, Carole Lynn D'Amico. Tracie is sister to…

Alisa Nunno DiChiara, the Lodi Board of Education attorney.

A quote from above article:
" In an email sent to board members on Tuesday, attorney Alisa Di Chiara said that after reviewing the state statute she believed the ballot question can be submitted to the county clerk only by a "governing body." Chiara(sic) was not present at the Wednesday meeting. "

Alisa appears to be the dedicated type. Admitted to the Bar in 1996 at the age of 25, but managed to get some court experience prior to that, by suing her relative down in Florida in 1995.

Not only one-sided, but really twisted……So just who is the "PR" person for the LBOE, Nardino or Miller?

Que the music...

Just friends being friends

WHILE I WOULD NEVER BEGRUDGE A "SPECIAL NEEDS" CHILD, THESE PEOPLE ARE DOING THIS TO MAKE THEMSELVES AND THEIR FRIENDS AT THE BOARD OF ED,  FELICIAN AND THE BOYS CLUB LOOK GOOD, AT THE EXPENSE OF THE LODI TAXPAYERS.

http://www.northjersey.com/story/news/bergen/lodi/2017/06/22/plans-special-needs-park-moving-forward/416602001/

"The special-needs playground has been lobbied for by Councilman Vincent Martin, who said the area is wasted space.

"It's a blighted area now and a waste of space. The only negative is that it is a flood area, and we are aware of that," Martin said."

" "It's not an area that floods regularly, but if there is a major storm like Sandy, a lot of that area becomes affected. We will have to take that into consideration while designing it," said Borough Manager Vincent Caruso." "

"The district's Child Study Team serves more than 500 special-education students. Felician University in Lodi also runs a specials-needs program and rents space from the Boys & Girls Club near the proposed location, Martin said.


IS THERE A CONNECTION HERE ?
http://www.northjersey.com/story/news/2017/05/08/november-ballot-question-fails-boe-vote/312772001/
"The existing administration building at 8 Hunter St. — a former elementary school — currently houses 24 employees, the school board offices, the superintendent's office and the district's child study team."


SO WHY ARE THESE "CHOSEN" FEW PUSHING FOR A YET ANOTHER PARK.
Emil Carafa:  Adjunct Prof. Felician College
Laura Hendricks-Schmidig-Cima: Assistant Professor at Felician College
Vincent Martin: Member of the Board of Directors of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Lodi/Hackensack
               Former Lodi Board of Education Trustee
Patricia Ann Caso Licata: Wilson Elementary School Teacher
                (Going to do what Boss Emil wants, and help out her son who is director at the Boys  Club)

AND OF COURSE THE PARK WOULD BE SO CONVENIENTLY CLOSE TO BOTH THE BOYS CLUB & THE BOARD OF ED BUILDING.

THE TAXPAYERS OF LODI HAVE "DONATED" SO MUCH TO BOTH FELICIAN & BOYS CLUB, MAYBE THEY SHOULD SPEND SOME MONEY FOR A CHANGE, YOU KNOW, GIVE BACK TO THE TAXPAYERS FOR ONCE. THEN USE IT AS THEIR USUAL TAX "WRITE-OFF".

http://lodinjprimafaci.blogspot.com/2015/06/where-is-logic.html

 NO THOUGHT WAS GIVEN TO THE FLOODING OF THE BRAND NEW VOTO TEDESCO FIELD AT  THE END OF CHESTNUT & RICHMOND STREETS EITHER.

AND WHY CAN'T ANNA BELLI GIVE UP SOME SPACE FROM ONE OF HER "MONEY MAKING" FIELDS FOR THIS PARK?

How Great is This ??

Yes, Lodi needs new businesses, with the upcoming tax increase. Taxpayers need all the revenue the Borough can muster.......

 After all, Lodi Taxpayers are still paying out all of those retirement payouts, those brand new Borough vehicles which were desperately needed to accomplish your job. Add all of the "special" tax reductions given, yep we do need more businesses here in Lodi.

http://www.northjersey.com/story/news/bergen/lodi/2017/06/26/lodi-hopes-attract-more-businesses-commercial/423944001/

"It will show why it's a great place to live and why it's a good place to bring your business here," Borough Manager Vincent Caruso said. "It's for economic development to let people know what Lodi has to offer that people may not know about."

Lodi is so great, Borough Manager Caruso does NOT live here, nor do the upper echelon of the Police Department he once headed.

But, WAIT.....

How ironic, the Mother  in-law to David "Boomer" Jones in the prior article is,  Dawn Paladino-Smith....Mayor Emil Carafa's secretary at Washington School....Wow, who knew?????

re-post of older article. "The law is the Law"

THE LAW IS THE LAW

Unless, of course, you have special privilege here in Lodi, NJ.

The following is NOT an attempt to harass, intimidate, certain persons, but to point out just how much information the "Powers That Be" here in Lodi hide, sweep under the carpet and disregard the Laws of this State. ALL INFORMATION PRESENTED IS A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD.

Back in 2000 a Lodi resident was arrested and charged with sexual assault of a minor, under the age of 16 years old. The Lodi man pleaded guilty to the charge of Child Endangerment and received a sentence of 5 years probation, and "should have been placed" on Megan's List. This man never made it onto the NJ Megan's law list. Why this is, we do not know, but the local police are responsible for entering persons into the system. I do not think the law says, at the "discretion of the Local Police Department."  However, for whatever reason, this man DID make it onto Florida's sexual offender list and is still shown there as of this writing.

https://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/flyer.do?personId=82216

His New Jersey arrest can be found here.

https://mccs.njcourts.gov/webe4/ExternalPGPA/index.jsp

http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/index.html

Do the circumstances about the arrest matter, maybe not. Could have been a Boyfriend/Girlfriend type thing and the victim's parents pushed for the charges. But, the law is the law.

On June 6, 2002 this man was arrested again & charged with Failure to Register as a Sex Offender here in Bergen County (around the same time a Paparozzi family member was charged with the same thing, never saw that one on Megan's List either)

Turns out, the man was an Emergency Medical Technician with the LODI VOLUNTEER AMBULANCE & RESCUE CORP./INC for several years.

http://www.nj.gov/health/ems/reg-enforcement/legal-action/

The entire Lodi Police Department would have had to have knowledge of this mans arrest, and knew that he was an EMT on the Lodi Volunteer Ambulance & Rescue Corp./Inc. The Lodi Volunteer Ambulance & Rescue Corp./Inc's Board of Directors and Officers also had the same knowledge. Some of the Lodi Police Department officers & detectives are, or were members of the Ambulance corp.

This man also received "Honors" from the Ambulance corp. at the LVARS annual Dinner Dance in 2009.

THE POLICE OFFICERS IN THIS PHOTO WOULD BE NARCOTIC DETECTIVE SGT. CHRISTOPHER PERRELLI AND SGT. DOMINIC MILLER.......

and participated in LVARS functions

Note: Ashley Ward was a member and a Line Officer with the Lodi Ambulance Corp, and, for a short time, fiancee to Sgt Russell Inserra. Heather Jones is his wife.

As of 2015, Mr. Jones did not have to register with, or appear on NJ's Megan's List. (Not that he ever did).

Several important questions will NEVER be answered…Like,

1.) How many Juveniles, or females did this man treat, evaluate, transport or have contact with while on the Lodi Ambulance Corp.?

2.) Would this have been a liability to the Borough, and ultimately the Taxpayers of Lodi ?

3.) Should we continue to reward the persons responsible for "hiding" this information by electing/ appointing them to the Borough Council and various Borough Boards?

But yet, some of these same persons were so eager to publicly post information on a DUI arrest of a Lodi Teacher back in January 2016…..Yes, the Law is the Law, except for the privileged few.

Wow, Lodi makes into a TOP TEN......somewhere.

 I just knew we could do it...

" 30 N.J. towns where property taxes hurt the most "

http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2017/06/nj_towns_where_taxpayers_feel_the_biggest_pinch.html#incart_river_home_pop

 

 NICE ! NUMBER "7" OUT OF 30.

and what would the Lodi Families do...????

 " Nepotism ordinance forces Saddle Brook councilman to resign "

http://www.northjersey.com/story/news/2017/06/20/saddle-brook-councilman-steps-down-because-ordinance-he-supported/400507001/

QUOTE FROM THIS ARTICLE; 

" Saddle Brook's anti-nepotism ordinance was modeled after policies in effect in other towns, including Montvale, Washington Township, Fair Lawn, Bogota, Tenafly, Bergenfield and Maywood.

Under the new ordinance, "You can't have immediate relatives who are on the governing body or who are department heads, because you can't have people who are in positions of power that can influence others or do favors for that person," said Mayor Robert White. "

and 99% of Lodi's employees would have to resign.... from

THE BORO OF LODI
          Mayor/Council
          Planning Board
          Zoning Board
THE LODI POLICE DEPARTMENT
THE LODI HOUSING AUTHORTY
THE LODI BOARD OF EDUCATION
THE LIBRARY

That is why you will never, EVER, see a "Nepotism Ordinance" in Lodi, NJ.

BLOCKED DRIVEWAYS........

According to New Jersey Motor Vehicle Laws.....

AND....

Since Lodi DOES NOT have Borough Ordinances on line....

No such Ordinance can be found on the Public Notice sites going back to 2002.

Some Bergen County towns show some common sense....

 Yet, NO ONE in Lodi brings up these questions with regard to ALL of our turf fields.....

$$$$$$$$$$$


http://www.northjersey.com/story/news/bergen/englewood-cliffs/2017/06/13/englewood-cliffs-talks-turf-lights-witte-field/378801001/

"The plans proposed by Borough Engineer Andrew Hipolit include options for turning all or part of the field into artificial turf. He recommended an option that used turf for the soccer field — since it saw the most wear and tear — while keeping the Little League field grass.

Citing studies and articles linking crumb rubber infill for turf with cancer and other health issues, many in attendance spoke out against its use, saying even if a definitive link hasn't been proved, it's not worth the risk.

The mayor and council all agreed to take it off the table as an option, instead looking into cork as an infill."

And, of course this name looked familiar.

Great weather for it

MORNING MEET & GREET ?

This morning around 8:15, Lodi Police Sgt. Dominic Miller paid a visit to the Washington School.

Was it for a School Post?

Was it to smile & wave to the LODI EDUCATION ASSOCIATION executive board members ?

Was it for Lodi Board of Education business?

Was it to smile & wave to the Mayor of Lodi, you know the school principal?

Was it to smile & wave to the TEACHERS he supports?

Could be all of the above, as Sgt. Miller is SOOO special, he can do anything on the taxpayers dime.

Show of support

Not.

The Lodi NJ Police department is showing, as a means of support, a blackened British flag with the "thin Blue Police Line" running across it.

So, are they showing support for just British Police, and NOT the British people.

I dislike seeing our own flag being blackened, with a Thin Blue Line running through it. 

I DO NOT PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE THIN BLUE LINE.

My opinion, blackening any flag is disrespectful.
