Cut the number of public employes in half and immediately stop all public assistance programs. That will put a dent in the deficit.

This is the most ridiculous non-nonsensical ruling ever. One week of original pay would wipe Scranton clean. WTH are these miscreants union dumbasses going to do when there are NO funds to pay them with the next week, demand more???

Declare bankruptcy, dissolve the city’s incorporation, and then no one can be paid.

Oooo, Oooo, call on me, I know the answer!

Raise the minimum wage to a living wage.

See, it is simple.

Prominent on the city website ( http://www.scrantonpa.gov )
is a large, pretty banner:

Pennsylvania's Progressive City

LOL!
No, that rates a full ROTFLMAO!

With a motto like that, how could they possibly lose?

So, what is the next thing for the Mayor and the City Council? They can’t pay these guys if there is no money. They can’t declare bankruptcy because of the Legislature blocking that.

Part of me says that’s it’s Popcorn time! Part of me says put a barb-wire fence around the place. It’s finished and we need to keep the infection from spreading further.
