Nearing retirement, Victor Vigluicci reflects on nearly five decades ‘looking out for truth and justice’

- Wendy DiAlesandro

Portage County Prosecutor Victor Vigluicci will close his office doors for the last time on Dec. 31. He began his career in November of 1977, when then-Democratic party chairman Roger DiPaolo, Sr. brought him into his private law practice.

When then-county Prosecutor David Norris was forced to resign in 1994 due to private legal problems, the local Democratic party had to appoint a successor. DiPaolo urged Vigluicci to put his hat in the ring, and he prevailed over six other attorneys for the post.
