Republican Freeholders are scrambling to put the right spin on recent actions taken against Senior Citizen Area Transportation (SCAT) and other non-profit transportation services by Monmouth County Freeholder Director Robert Clifton and Kathleen Lodato, the new director of the county's Division of Transportation. Each has taken abrupt steps to rein in county funding of senior citizen and disabled persons transportation. According to APP, MCDOT has stopped funding SCAT and is seeking reimbursement for funding already received in 2010 and 2011. If these services don't go away completely, rates will be rising.
Lodato, President of the Monmouth County Federation of Republican Women, is being paid less than half the salary of her predecessor and has little if any practical experience for the job. She worked in Republican legislative offices for nearly a decade as an events coordinator, then spent five years with a now-defunct home builder. She's unwilling to discuss her resume after 2007. According to APP, the Republican Freeholders signed up Lodato outside of regular Board business.
