No wonder New Jersey has the highest taxes in the nation (the bulk of which are school taxes, a good part of which fund "administrative" paper-pushers like this thief), take a look at how this Toms River NJ school superintendent Michael Ritacco (I'm not even going to say it...) lives!
Mercedes Benz? Check!
Three-story home a block from the ocean? Check!
Water fountain in the front yard? Check!
Lush green lawn at the beach? Check!
"Federal investigators raided the offices of the Toms River Regional Board of Education and the of home of its superintendent today, impounding his Mercedes Benz and seizing dozens of boxes of records and as part of an ongoing corruption investigation."
Reports the NJ Starledger newspaper.
"More than a dozen agents from the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service arrived early this morning at the district office and at the Seaside Park home superintendent Michael Ritacco."
Now you would think living a Sopranos lifestyle like this as a public school superintendent would raise a few eyebrows. Not in New Jersey!
"Ritacco, 62, has worked for the district for roughly 40 years, earning more than $226,500 annually, according to state records. He is somewhat of a local icon. The Ritacco Center -- a 3,500 seat arena that opened in 2003 to host sporting events, concerts and trade shows -- is named in his honor."
No wonder there’s a tax revolt in the state of New Jersey. People are out of work and losing their houses, and a dirtbag like this thieves for years in the public education racket and gets a fucking arena named after himself?
