“I'm running for township council because, as a veteran, small-business owner and father of two young children, I know how important it is to ensure we preserve and enhance the great quality of life we have in Verona through deliberative and responsible decision-making. As councilman, I will always put the needs of our community before politics,” Fio Rito told the source.
