Lawsuit: Trenton Mayor Reed Gusciora accused of running junkyard 'kickback' scheme

TRENTON — It's tough being mayor.

A city resident is really, really mad about his junked-out car getting towed and has accused officials of running an impound lot “kickback” scheme.

In a page rumored to be stolen from the playbook of Paul Perez’s cronies, John Moses, of the 800 block of Carteret Avenue, is going it alone in a recently filed federal lawsuit brought against Mayor Reed Gusciora and his acting police director, Pedro Medina.

Also named in the pro-se lawsuit is mayoral aide Andrew Bobbitt, police officer Lawrence Davis, Risoldi’s Automotive, and Jackie – just Jackie – from records.

“I’m sure the person is upset. Maybe I’ll settle for Dunkin' Donuts,” Gusciora said, referring to the notorious munchkin man litigation that went nowhere. "I know people are inconvenienced with getting towed. As far as kickback, I have no idea what he’s talking about.”
