If you don't know me, My name is Roger Rillo. I have lived in St. Marys for about 20 years. I came here with my family, after retiring from the Marine Corps, and now I'm running for City Council.

In my opinion, the most pressing issues currently facing us are:
- Fair tax assessments
- Fair millage rates
- Fair representation on County Board of Assessors
- Controlling Expenses/Monitoring how public funds are spent
- Improving current infrastructure
- Economic/Business development/jobs for the future
- Helping current business survive
I look forward to talking with you.
Roger
