In a refreshingly candid Facebook post, Dan Marchisella admits he smokes a joint every night and believes in UFOs; 'I'd rather people hate me for the truth’
Running for re-election this October, Dan Marchisella took to Facebook this week to address some “dirty campaign” rumours spreading around town. The resulting write-up is an absolute rarity in politics: a brutally honest candidate who doesn’t pretend to be perfect.
Marchisella began his Sunday post by listing some of the dirt locals are slinging his way: Drug addict. Doesn’t live in town. Turns away new restaurants, hotels, stores and other potential investors. Doesn’t attend meetings. Doesn’t care about seniors. Steals money from the city. Biggest cocaine dealer in town.“Now I will give you some background on me for those who may not know me well,” the post continues. “Born and raised in Elliot Lake.
“Have never missed a council meeting, budget meeting or standing committee, including attending the day after my oldest son’s funeral,” the post continues. “I have had heart issues over the last few years that have been resolved. I do have a criminal record, DUI in 2000 and no, I was not driving or even in my car but couldn’t afford legal counsel.
As for the rumour he doesn’t live in town, Marchisella insists that's not true, either. His family owns an off-grid property north of the city that he plans to rebuild in time for retirement, but for now, home is an Elliot Lake subdivision.
