Musto helped many in the community

Dear Readers:
I am proud to see the late Mayor William V. Musto name on the new Cultural Center on the 15th Street. I see no wrong in this matter. He helped so many people in this community where latin roots were established. People seem to forget if it wasn’t for Mayor Musto United States Senator Robert Menendez would not be where he is today. Bob Menendez was his “aide” and Musto treated him like a son. Mayor Musto welcomed a wave of Hispanic people to the Union City community and encouraged growth, employment and a better way of life. I remember when I campaigned with him, my son would come with me and now I can see were the love of politics started. Musto was a great person and so was his family. You look at all the good Mayor Musto did for Union City in his 35years of service and history should not judge him for a mistake he has paid for many times over until his death. God bless Mayor William V. Musto and forever watch over Union City.
