“The best way I can describe is one of those days you’re really thirsty and you’ve think you’ve quenched your thirst, and realize you might want another glass or two,” he told the Sun Tuesday.

“I don’t think I’ve quenched my thirst yet.”

Originally a labourer with Toronto Housing and CUPE local 767 head, Mammoliti entered politics in 1990 as part of Bob Rae’s Ontario NDP upset majority.

He served as an NDP MPP until being unseated in 1995 by former North York councillor Mario Sergio.

Mammoliti’s successful byelection win to replace Sergio started his 23-year stint in municipal politics that ended Monday.
