	Mario Racco at AllExperts
		Mario G. Racco (born in 1955) is a politician in Ontario, Canada.
		Racco was elected to the city council of Vaughan, Ontario in 1982, and retained this position until his election to the Ontario legislature.
		In the 2003 provincial election, Racco defeated Susan Kadis for the Liberal nomination in Thornhill and ran against Tina Molinari, an incumbent from the Progressive Conservatives.

		I agree...Mario Racco has gone so far as to have his wife run for Ward Councillor in Vaughan...add to that the fact that she is using his surname, something she has never done, and the fact that she registered on the last possible day, so as to avoid potential media flack.
		Mario Racco was also implicated in a few questionable funding issues, and is genuinely thought of as, well, kind of slimy.
		Racco is not necessarily the most "popular" of politicians who has coasted to victory in municipal campaigns by being acclaimed in 2000, and relatively little challenges in prior contests.

		Racco, an Italian-born former separate-school board trustee and long-time Vaughan councillor who has a parkway named after him, concedes that position could "hurt" him at the ballot box, but that over all, he thinks voters there want a change in government.
		Racco, the father of two children, said during a recent interview at his campaign office in Vaughan.
		Racco said the Liberal positions on other hot-button issues, including education, health and transportation, are selling well in this riding where the median household income is $79,436 and 85 per cent of people own their own homes.

	35089 - Thornhill
		Maybe it was some hard hitting questions from the crowd or the presence of Mario Racco in the room, but in the end the edge has to be given to Reale.
		Susan doesn't have the support of her provincial counterpart, and as much as I don't like Mario Racco's politics, that is going to hurt her more than it will help.
		Kadis and the Liberals are losing some of last years support due to federal issues which is out of the control of Kadis since she is a backbencher but the majority is not supporting Kadis for her acts of cronyism locally and her lack of consideration for the Italian community of Thornhill.

		Racco told her he read the petition into the record in the legislature on May 15, but Martow noted that he omitted the phrase, “Whereas Ontario is the only western democracy that fully funds faith-based schools of one religion to the total exclusion of all other religions.”
