Rosario Marchese is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on January 1, 1952 in San Nicola da Crissa, Calabria, Italy. Rosario Marchese, born January 1, 1952, is a former Canadian politician from Ontario, Canada. From 1990 to 2014, he was a New Democratic member of Ontario’s Legislative Assembly. He represented the downtown Toronto riding of Trinity–Spadina before moving on to the old riding of Fort York.

Marchese and other trustees voted to increase their salaries by 35% and 86%, respectively, in 1985 and 1988. Salary had risen from $18,000 to $44,000 by 1988’s end. The increase was supported by trustees who claimed that the salaries were too low to attract qualified candidates. Sheila Cary Meagher stated, “You need to think…about the people who want the job and who, even if it’s kept in a rich person’s ghetto can’t do it.” Both years, trustees rejected citizen suggestions for lower increases.

In 1990, Marchese was elected to the Ontario parliament in the provincial election of 1990, defeating incumbent Liberal Bob Wong by about 1500 votes in the riding of Fort York.

In June 1994, he introduced a private member’s bill to give Toronto the ability to regulate after hours clubs. The party decided to take over the bill and expanded it to encompass the entire province. It was passed on November 24, 1994.

From 1982 to 1990, he was a member of the Toronto school board. He was a strong advocate for racial and lingual rights. He helped establish alternative schools, international language programs and school childcare. He also worked to end the practice to stream students into narrow learning programs.
