Perks are only given to new businesses in Scranton if you're a political crony. I'm not 100% positive, but I believe that Cosmo's may be a KOZ site (no taxes for 10 years). And you don't get a KOZ in Scranton without being connected or making the right campaign contributions.

According to the PA Courts docket sheet website, he has 7 traffic tickets in the past 6 years. No surprise.

I'm copying an pasting from a past post by ScranBarre, but I thought this was appropriate, seeing that this guy apparently used to reside in Pittston....reminds me of that song by The Wackjobs (from KRZ), "Pittston Man" (sung to the tune of "Macho Man" by the Village People). Here's some of the lyrics:

"Although he has a good job, he can not leave the nest. His paychecks buy the gold chains hanging from his chest."

"You can always find him at Tink's or in "Da Woods." All the foxy women checkin' out his goods."

"Even his own mother thinks he's the son of God!"

"Body. Body. Come and touch my body. Body. Go ahead, call me Guido. Body. Body. Lookin' hot in my speedo!"

"Hey there sexy lady, how 'bout I lick your cleavage?" "EWWW!! Get away from me you creep!" "MINGA! But I'm a Pittston man! I drive an IROC!" "BA-DA-BING! BA-DA-BOOM!"

The following is all true...when I got frustrated with this "man" I called him Gudio...and he said "...yeah, you can call me that..."! Now, I did not know where he was from or that song...but boy did I peg his type! LOL
