SPRIINGFIELD The city’s Collector’s Office began accepting tax payments on Thursday at a new outdoor tent at City Hall, aimed at creating a safe option under the coronavirus pandemic.
The tent, located in the rear parking lot at City Hall has three window counters staffed by the Collectors Office. People can pay their bills including their current motor vehicle (excise) taxes, property taxes and personal property taxes and trash fees. Excise taxes are due Monday.
Charges filed against three current and former Scranton School District officials accused of endangering children and the public are based on a flawed investigation that is wholly unsupported by evidence, attorneys for the defendants said in court papers.
In a sharply worded legal brief, attorneys Frank Nocito and Brian McMonagle contend the state attorney generalâs officeâs filing of charges against their client, Alexis Kirijan, Ed.D., and her co-defendants, Jeff Brazil and Joseph Slack, is a âmiscarriage of justice.â
Facing the reality it has no case, the office now seeks to forgo a preliminary hearing because prosecutors fear the charges will be dismissed outright, the attorneys said.
