Masino, president and business manager of the Sheet Metal Workers Local 19, has never held public office. He said he is“Forty-four years is a long time for anybody to be in office. I never see Brian O’Neill around,” Masino said. “It’s no secret that the Northeast is going in the wrong direction. I’ve been here many years.”
“If I’m a criminal, I’m going to the Northeast, and that’s what’s happening,” he said. “The Northeast has problems like any other place.
