Just heard an NPR story on Scranton, PA. ...

Not knowing the party affiliation of the Scranton's House and Senate Reps (and too lazy to look it up) ... I think it would be reasonable for someone to ask the Scranton employees:

"Gee, I wonder if we'd be getting minimum wage today, if our Congress had passed the part of President Obama's Jobs Plan that would have sent federal money to shore up local governments?

I wonder who voted against it ... But more importantly, I wonder if we will vote for them again?"

1. Here are Scranton's representatives in Congress:

Louis J. Barletta (born January 28, 1956) is the U.S. Representative for Pennsylvania's 11th congressional district. He is a member of the Republican Party. He is the former Mayor of Hazleton, known for his vocal opposition to illegal immigration and his efforts to keep illegal immigrants out of the city. (from wikipedia)

Senators are Bob Casey (D) and the awful Pat Toomey (R).

But the question remains.
