Ross Licitra is no "fiscal conservative"

Monmouth County Republican Commissioner Ross Licitra positions himself as a fiscal conservative, but his personal income is heavily tied to various taxpayer-funded or public-facing sources.

The SPCA Salary: He is paid approximately $132,000 to $135,000 annually to run the SPCA. While it is a non-profit, the SPCA holds numerous lucrative contracts with Monmouth County municipalities for animal control.

The Commissioner Stipend: He receives an annual stipend (roughly $30,000) and benefits for his role on the Board of Commissioners.

The Law Enforcement Pension: As a retired Captain from the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, he collects a significant public pension from his 30 years in law enforcement.

This is a man who's collecting three checks, while voting for a $23.7 million tax hike on families who can barely afford one.
