I was assigned to work at a facility North of Scranton by my employer about 15 years ago. They offered me a permanent position there, but after touring the area, I decided I’d rather be laid off. I can only imagine how much worse it has become considering our current situation.
Several months ago I was reading comments off TOPIX on Elmira, NY. Another hard hit area. Binghamton as well. Someone said,”Last person to leave Elmira please turn off the lights.” Another poster responded, “Hell, nobody in Elmira can afford to keep their utilities on!”
Very sad what has happened up there.
Kanjorski, being in a tight race, is pulling out all the stops. He’s an understudy of Murtha, so Barletta better watch his ass.
