DohertyDeceit is another Scranton political forum started by resident Joe Pilchesky, who was frustrated with the way the city, namely the administration of Mayor Doherty, treated its residents. He apparently had noble intentions, but I'm not impressed by some of their "out-there" types of claims.

When did the "deception" start? Before or after the last mayoral election? When did Montage Mountain go bankrupt??

Montage Mountain Ski Area was taken over by the county in 1991 for $14 million and has lost money every year but two since then. Losses in '03-'04 were $200,000. In '06 it was sold to Sno Mountain LLC for $5.1 million, not including $8.6 million in county debt left over from the 1991 purchase. All this for 20 full-time jobs.

Personally, I thought it was a tad strange putting a ski area there. Go figure......
