I have lived in Wilkes-Barre for the past 27 years and throughout that time I have witnessed the good and the bad. As your Mayor I would like to bring back the good and try to remedy the bad. Years of mismanagement, greed, and unethical behavior have cost us our Coal Street pool, our firehouse in the Heights and our fountain on the square. Houses burned to the ground because of overworked firefighters and not enough working engines. There are now four vacant lots on my street where houses ounce stood, all of them lost during the current administration. I’m sure that on your streets and in your neighborhoods, you have your own stories to convey. So where have we gone wrong? Post your stories to my Facebook page.
