Vito Perillo, a former naval officer, a veteran of World War II, first engaged in politics at the age of 93. Tired of the mess and high taxes in the town of Tinton Falls, New Jersey (17 thousand inhabitants), he put forward his candidacy for mayor and won the election. During his four years in office, he managed to regularly dispose of garbage, invested $8 million in road works, and invested $4 million in parks and recreation, including building a court for pixelball (a hybrid of tennis, badminton and ping-pong) for which he was especially sought by voters.

Yesterday, the 97-year-old Perillo was re-elected for a second term, defeating three rivals, the oldest of whom was 40 years younger than him, and became the oldest mayor in the history of the United States. He says he feels great, and promises to bring in order and reopen the city library, which is currently under repair.
