The Monmouth County Republican Government has never done anything wrong

And I'll argue why

The Monmouth County Republican controlled commission didn't illegally raise their wages by $3,000 dollars while simultaneously increasing taxes on the rest of us by 23 million. They also didn't waste nearly a million in taxpayer money to attempt, and fail at seizing a private airport for Netflix. The Monmouth County Republican Chairman, and Sheriff, Shaun Golden, also didn't advise the whole Republican County Government, including himself, to avoid the only publicly held debates as hosted by the League of Women voters in Monmouth County last year. Republican Commissioner Ross Licitra also didn't call a worker a "nobody" for disagreeing with his organization's decision to euthanize a dog. Ross Licitra also didn't threaten to slice open the throat of workers who are quote on quote "rude" to him.

Monmouth County Republican Chairman, and Sheriff Shaun Golden also didn't block a woman from his official government account because he doesn't like it when residents, or anyone disagrees with him, or criticizes his policies. April fools, the Monmouth County Republican Party, and government did all of the things I mentioned. You know what isn't an April fools' joke? The fact that there's an election on November third this year for county commission to vote out one of the Republicans who has long enabled this county government, and to vote in a Democrat for the open county commission seat recently vacated by Ross Licitra. It's time for a change.
