The police, fire and public works unions in Scranton, PA are suing the Mayor in Federal Court after he cut every city employee’s pay to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. He did this even after a County Court Judge had issued a Temporary Injunction ordering him to pay full wages.

I heard of this on the CBS morning news and my heart broke for the gentleman who was interviewed who will now not be able to visit his son prior to his deployment. Can you give me some information as to where he would have to travel and the estimated cost of that travel?
Although I am not in a rich position, I wonder if maybe we could get him some help
thank you!!!
