Snakes in the grass

By Rosaldo Russo Allow me to begin this column by thanking the Oshawa/Central newspaper for allowing me the opportunity and access to the press. Not to many if any allow an average person like me to tell the world what I see and think. In my opinion. The Editor/Publisher is a real upstanding type of guy. He shoots from the hip and hold traditional core values. My name is Rosaldo Russo. I came to this great country to make a better life for myself and my family. I thank Canada for everything it has allowed me to do and earn. I worked construction all my life. I know the value of hard work and honesty. I remember as a boy my father always telling me to work hard and buy land. So I did. I remember days when I did not have enough to eat. I go to work... but I did not wait for hand outs. I rounded up my pride my skill and my determination to succeed and went to work. In those days the only benefits we received was the fact we were employed. Before retiring I was the owner and operator of local material supply company that allowed me to retired without worry. Now that I have time to enjoy life. I look around me and have some concern for future generations. I see that the world is finished. You can’t even trust those that call you friend. What is wrong with people? I remember in my upcoming days... worked like a horse. No one even gave me a second look. Today I am running for office a self made man. Everyone wants to be my friend. I am made like the virgin at a perv convention. Ok stop laughing. People are not genuine anymore. They sneak and hide and pass judgement and on the same breath shake your hands and smile. Sad. This is why our society if falling. Politicians and their cronies are horrible human beings. In part this is why I am running. I want to bring municipal government back to the people. It breaks my heart to see how people in our city are being treated. It disgusts me to see that we the taxpayers are treated with disrespect at city hall. The elect that are supposed to represent us don’t return calls. This is not right. I will bring you 100% representation. I will as I have all my life work hard to assure you have the best services possible. I will get tough on developers that keep raping our lands. I will work with the new mayor in order to control planning and development in order to assure citizens that their interest will come first. We will not be bought or sold. We will not play the cronies game. We will not be influenced. Our future depends on solid planning and execution. I ENDORSE JOE INGINO FOR MAYOR OF OSHAWA IN 2022 VOTE INGINO
