Corporate lawyer Michael Tibollo, who is running provincially for the Progressive Conservatives in the new riding of Vaughan-Woodbridge, will have a well-known Michael in his corner over the next nine months.

Michael Di Biase, the former deputy mayor of Vaughan who resigned in May after the city's integrity commissioner found he sexually harassed an employee, is a volunteer on Tibollo's campaign.

Tibollo, asked about Di Biase's role, said, "I have known Michael and his wife for many years and hope that they will assist me given their experience and involvement in the community."

For his part Tibollo, who won the nomination at the end of May and has just set up a campaign office at the corner of Weston and Langstaff roads, is eager to take on the Liberal government.

“After 14 years of power, it doesn’t seem like they’ve got anything under control and it seems like a lot of things are getting worse,” Tibollo said.

“In the area of mental health and addiction, autism, there’s so much more that needs to be done. In the area of seniors, it’s deplorable we’re putting them through all these expenses with higher and higher hydro rates.”

The provincial election is scheduled for next June.
