Scranton to Pay Government Workers Minimum Wage

This is harsh. And given the over the top corruption and malfeasance at the local level (at least in California), I can't see how the public employees should have this deep a cut. Minimum wage? They say it's a temporary stopgap, but how about the cuts at the top?

At the Los Angeles Times, "Scranton ignores judge's ruling, cuts worker pay to minimum wage."

And at the Fiscal Times, "Scranton's Fiscal Mess May Lead to Bankruptcy":
