Another US city goes belly-up
Spend it all... it's not our money. What's the worst that could happen? Unions? Oh, they're great.

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/scra...29063.html

Quote: Cash-strapped Scranton, Pa., has slashed pay for all city employees—including police and firefighters—to minimum wage, sparking furor among unions that now say they plan to sue in federal court.

A lawyer representing three unions told Scranton's Times-Tribune he will file several motions, including one to hold Mayor Chris Doherty in contempt of court for violating a judge's order to pay full wages.

Did the judge mention what Scranton is to pay the police with? Peanuts? Dirt? They have NO MONEY. It's like milking a rock.

BTW, 3 California cities have now filed for bankrupcy this year. Is it coincidence they are all in Liberal areas? Nah.

Sure there's money in Scranton. Just eminent domain the paper company.

Is it any coincidence that these bankrupt cities are all bastions of liberalism? Nah, didn't think so.
