Well, that's just stupidity, to default and ruin my credit. That not only hurts me, but my family as well. Despite my opinions on Scranton politics, I'm not miserable here. I like where I live, I just HATE the city's political climate.

Scranton has been ruined by a short-sighted, fiscally irresponsible mayor and council and that is a fact, not a myth. You can't make this stuff up, I see it with my own two eyes.
