I believe I read another FR posting on Monday that indicated the public unions had gone to court and the ruling was that Scranton could NOT cut pay to minimum wages. ........Essentially, that means the city will be bankrupt (and would have been even after paying minimum wages), so they will file for that, IMO.
The firefighter union did win a decision on this. The dem scum Mayor said “make me”.
Keep in mind that the cut to minimum wage is temporary, the mayor has said all back pay will be paid once he get’s the money.
Scranton is a city where about 4 in 5 residents are on food stamps. (my estimate)
Scranton needs to declare bankruptcy, desperately, but neither the mayor nor council are willing to even talk about it.
There’s a guy name of Gary Lewis mentioned in an article above that’s been making the case for BR. He may run for council next year.
He maybe Scranton’s only hope.
