Trustee Moliterno earns another term

On Tuesday, voters gave Boardman Trustee Larry Moliterno another term, as he received 59 percent of the vote.

Challenger Richard S. Scarsella received 41 percent. Scarsella is a member of boards for the county educational service center and county soil and water district.

Moliterno said he views his re-election to a second term, and the passage of a township 3-mill renewal levy Tuesday, as sign of voter confidence.

“I think between this and the renewal and support of the police levy in August, people like the direction that the township’s going,” Moliterno said.

“People like the team that’s in place,” he added in reference to fellow Trustees Thomas Costello and Brad Calhoun.

Moliterno said his priority remains creating the Boardman 2016 plan, which will outline spending and prioritize projects throughout the township.

Moliterno and other officials have already begun work on the plan, which should be finalized next year.

“We’re going to stretch the levy dollars out as far as we can and run the township as efficiently as we can,” he said.
