FUNNY HOW THINGS WORK HERE IN LODI !!

So what is the connection between John John Giaquinto and Lodi?.

1.) Vincent J. Caruso,

Caruso was hired by Lodi Police in August, 1987, retired July, 2014 (with a super big payout)
•with the sale of his company CityCigar to John John Giaquinto.
• after the Luke Hoffman incident…
"Shortly after the raid, Bergen County prosecutor, William Schmidt, made a motion to have all charges against Caruso dismissed. Caruso was reinstated and promoted to deputy chief, and he currently runs the day-to-day operations of the Lodi Police Department and will collect a reported $200,000 in back pay." (one hand washes the other, so to speak)

•Caruso maintains a very close friendship with Lodi Councilman Vincent Martin and the Luna family;

According to Luna, there will never, ever be another mariners team.
