Charles J. Catrillo (August 13, 1945 – February 19, 2004) was an American Republican Party politician who served in the New Jersey General Assembly from the 32nd Legislative District from 1986 to 1988.[1]

Born in Jersey City, Catrillo graduated from St. Peter's Preparatory School, Seton Hall University and Seton Hall University School of Law.[2]

As the Assembly considered a bill that would allow the state to takeover school districts, Catrillo argued that the Jersey City Public Schools, which he cited as a "patronage mill" that poorly serves handicapped students, should be among the first to be taken over.[3]

Catrillo, Republican of Jersey City, said his city's $162 million school system was generally acknowledged to be the first that will be taken over. He called the system a 'patronage mill' that doles out jobs like that of 'furniture inspector' for $31,000 a year, while education programs for the handicapped are underfinanced."
