At our December 4th Council meeting Roseto was presented with a check for $3,000 by District Attorney John Morganelli. Roseto asked for the funds to upgrade the operations of our Police Department. The office of the District Attorney responded quickly to our need to cover the cost of upgrading our police department, which speaks highly of the dedication to law enforcement that District Attorney Morganelli has.
