Hum Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 SALEDUCIO, Italy, May 14 (UPI) -- A 101-year-old woman in Saleducio, Italy, is campaigning to become the oldest town counselor in the country in the upcoming June 6-7 elections. Maria Donati, who will be 102 in September, is running for the town council on the Civic Non-Party Ticket For the Common Good in the same village that her granddaughter, Roberta, is running for mayor, ANSA reported Thursday. Donati's daughter and son-in-law are also running for positions on the Saleducio council. ''I want to improve the roads around here and listen to everyone's problems as I have always done,'' said Donati, who has eight grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren. ''One thing is sure: I have a century's worth of experience to draw on." :happy: source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted May 15, 2009 Veteran Share Posted May 15, 2009 Canada's 6th largest city (population over 700,000) has a mayor who is 88. She has virtually no political opposition either. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazel_McCallion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississauga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
