A PHILLYCLOUT favorite,former City Councilman Rick Mariano could be doing electrical work at a job site near you any day now.Mariano, who was sentenced to six years for corruption, is set to leave the minimum-security federal prison in Lewisburg, Pa., Monday and move to a halfway house in Juniata Park, according to an e-mail he sent to friends and family on Sunday titled “8 Days to Go.”
In the note, Mariano said he hoped to soon move from the halfway house to home confinement.
Wherever Mariano is residing, he should be able to get to work soon. The former electrician is still a dues-paying member of Local 98, the electricians union that backed him in his political rise.
“Rick Mariano is an active member of IBEW Local 98 and will have the right to work the day after he completes all of the official requirements of his release,” Local 98 spokesman Frank Keel told us yesterday.
PhillyClout guesses this is one ex-offender who wont need re-entry services to land a job.
