I find it interesting how Licata was a loyal Stanfa guy at one point, and among the "old guard" of that administration. From what I hear the guy was a major earner in South Jersey though, so Natale & Merlino probably just let him resume business but for them.
Joe scoops is a north jersey guy and stays up here. He was / is very tight with michael perna ( lucchese).
Merlino didnt let scoops do anything, he just does it. He earns with or without merlino.
