Fox News: PA lawmakers demand Scranton revert 'Biden Expy' name, calling it a 'scar' following Kids-4-Cash scandal
Officials in Scranton, Pennsylvania, are urging the city to reverse the 2021 renaming of a freeway spur to honor President Joe Biden. This push follows Biden's recent pardon of a judge involved in a "kids-for-cash" scandal, which led to the wrongful sentencing of juveniles to for-profit prisons.
State Rep. Jamie Walsh criticized the pardon, calling it a "grave error" and suggesting it tarnishes Scranton's reputation. Local leaders argue that removing Biden's name from the expressway would help restore confidence in city leadership and separate the issues of public corruption from the president's legacy.
