Who’s gonna get a pizza-de-action from Maro Testa? From Brian Lockhart, CT Post:
Not only is Testa juggling two restaurants, but, as the city’s veteran Democratic Town Committee chairman, he is juggling mayoral candidates and their assorted allies.
Testa this week scheduled the party’s endorsement convention for July 21. Endorsements must be made between July 21 and July 28, according to the Secretary of the State.
Testa is aware some see the move as helping buddy ex-Mayor Joseph Ganim, should he fail to wrest the endorsement from incumbent Mayor Bill Finch. Choosing July 21 would give Ganim an extra week to collect the roughly 2,000 petition signatures needed by Aug. 12 to appear on September’s primary ballot.

Mario Testa, who is this guy who determines what politicians can and cannot run? Why don’t the citizens tell this guy to run his business and stay out of theirs?
Yes Charlie–for a humble restaurant owner he certainly is paid homage to by the local DTC.
That’s a “Spicy Meatball!”

I thought the entire article in the Connecticut Post was very respectful. Clearly, Mario is a good friend to Joseph Ganim and he felt Joe was a good Mayor. He also was extremely respectful of Mayor Finch stating he was squeaky clean and a hard worker. Those are two exceptional qualities for a mayor, no?
Mario, why do we have to go to Vazzy’s for twin lobsters again! It has been four years or pretty close to that since you had a special on twin lobsters. Yes, this information is important to me.
I’d like a thin crust scamorz’ with eggplant, shrimp and well-done bacon made before the grease saturates my pie and turns it into a heart attack waiting to happen! 🙂
The Post article said, “What are you gonna do?” Testa said in the heavy Italian accent that those who know him say he uses to dupe people into underestimating his savvy. A lot of people get fooled by Mario because of his accent, they think he’s slow and not too smart, wrong, Mario is like a fox.
Brian, get your facts straight. The restaurant is in Fairfield, not Bridgeport.
