With the receiver’s office in Harrisburg sitting empty after David Unkovic’s abrupt resignation a month ago, a federal judge has dismissed a suit seeking to enjoin the implementation of a financial recovery plan for the insolvent city, holding that challengers to the measure lacked standing to seek the injunction.
Three city residents filed suit in December, after Act 47 the Financially Distressed Municipalities Act was amended to allow the Corbett administration to label a municipality as financially distressed and therefore pave the way for the appointment of a receiver who could implement a recovery plan.
