Fiastro Named To Human Relations Commission

John C. Fiastro Jr. was named to the Baltimore County Human Relations Commission by 5th district Councilman David Marks. 

Established in 1963, the Baltimore County Human Relations Commission enforces the county’s anti-discrimination law.  

A resident of Ridgeleigh, Fiastro formerly served on the Governor’s Commission on Hispanic Affairs and on the Baltimore County Ethnic Diversity Advisory Council.  

Fiastro, a Towson University graduate, is fluent in Spanish and has been a manager at Aldo’s Ristorante Italiano in Baltimore's Little Italy since 2001. He was a Republican nominee for the Maryland House of Delegates in 2010 and currently serves as  president of the Friends of the Loch Raven Library.

In a press release, Marks, a Republican, said: “I am very happy to appoint John Fiastro to the Baltimore County Human Relations Commission; I believe his business background will be very useful on this panel, as well as his fluency in Spanish and understanding of the Latino culture. Like many communities in Maryland, Baltimore County is experiencing an influx of residents for whom English is not an original language.”

“I thank Councilman Marks for this appointment,” Fiastro said in a press release.  “I look forward to working with other commission members to ensure equal and fair treatment for all Baltimore Countians.”
