August Wilson Center seeking to hire executive director

Report: Cheating, misconduct at Pennsylvania police academy

SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — The City Council in former vice president Joe Biden's Pennsylvania hometown is trying to stop a state lawmaker from naming a bridge after Biden. Scranton Councilman Pat Rogan says he love's Biden "as much as almost every other Scrantonian" But he says the bridge being constructed is already named for a veteran. The Col. Frank Duffy Memorial Bridge honors the city's highest-ranking soldier killed in World War I. Democrat state Rep. Kevin Haggerty tells the Scranton Times-Tribune (http://bit.ly/2jG5Edy) he plans to submit a bill to call it the "Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. Bridge." But Rogan says council plans to send Haggerty a letter asking him to find another way to honor Biden. Democratic state Sen. John Blake sponsored the 2015 bill to name the bridge after Duffy. ___ Information from: The Times-Tribune, http://thetimes-tribune.com/
