The first thing that stands out in this board of councilmen and woman is there is no diversity. The new guy they just picked also fits the old school disconnect between today's generations, and it feels like Scranton is stuck in a consist loop going no where into the future. I also noticed the smudge look or smirk on a few faces when the mere few residents poured their concerns and hearts out on deaf ears. Zommers say that this council doesn't depict or represent them and has a severe generation gap of unreal expectations. This is one of the main reason kids grow up and leave this city. There is basically nothing for them to do here, everything is targeted to Elementary school levels, so it leaves tweens and teens completely voiceless and bored to death. Never mind if you are elderly, disabled, ethic, or LGBTQ, because this panel doesn't speak for a huge percentage of the community. If you are listening but not really hearing people's concerns, and not pushing for change as city leadership, you might as just have empty seats on this Council platform.

I think Scranton does need an audit I think that if every concern citizen would flood congressman state representatives and officials with calls in a three or four day period and keep the heat on they would have a audit and some people would go to jail again in Scranton this needs to be done you need to all get together and contact your officials and demand it
