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.
