There was a story about this a few days ago.

Average household income in Scranton is $29K/yr.

Average cop salary is almost $70K/yr. Average fireman salary is $65K/yr.

The city has lost half it’s population in the last 40 years, but it’s government is the same size if not bigger.

This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

I read an article recently where some arrogant control freak from government said:

"We have to pay our people top dollar to attract the best and most qualified"

If I could of spit in his face, I would have.
