On February 13, NBC affiliate WBRE-TV and WNEP-TV reported that Libertarian Gary St. Fleur and fellow residents of the city of Scranton, PA, know as the “group of 8”, had their day in court.
St. Fleur and his group Save Scranton have been the force behind a lawsuit that charges the city with illegally tripling the local service tax while neglecting to cut government spending through the renegotiation of extravagant employee contracts and retirement policies.
