Joe Biden’s hometown of Scranton is broke, the Mayor reduces the city workers pay to minimum wage, cuts overtime, disability and worker’s compensation. He has only has given his employees 8 days notice. Following the tracks of the California towns of Mammoth Lakes and Stockton that have declared bankruptcy under the Obama’s administration.
Scranton’s Mayor Chris Doherty (D ) the State of Pennsylvanian’s sixth largest city claims his city has no money. Blaming it on a city councils block on his proposed tax increase of 29 percent to thwart a deficit of $16.8 million. Doherty’s move is to try keep his city running of essential functions. This is not limited to police, firefighters, road construction workers and other city workers including himself.
Scranton also was made famous from the TV series The Office. The City Scranton is nestled high in the Pocono mountain of PA
It once claimed to be No. 10 Strongest Job Market: Scranton-Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Say it isn’t so Joe. Why don’t you ask your boss Obama to help with your old neighborhood financial difficulties?

I wonder how many other cities are in the Red and will file bankruptcy due to Obama’s taxation/regulations regarding small businesses?
I love this story. When he said that the City had only $5 grand. He did what he had to do. He can’t print his own. More cities will be doing this or go into bankrupcy. They could cut the welfare checks!
I bet there will be more Cites that go this route before Nov 6th. Obama has dug a deep hole in our economy, Now want to take away the tax cuts. Doesn’t want to cut his spending though. I guess he never had to balance a check book. 🙂
He probably was well taken care of by Ayers and others. I see you have incog on your blog roll. Good going;)
