Mike Allison, a South Abington Township resident and professor and chair of The University of Scranton’s Department of Political Science, was the program presenter at the lunch meeting of the Rotary Club of the Abingtons. He was the guest of member John Hambrose. Allison discussed the university’s recently updated “Living Wage Report” that studies the economic and life challenges facing Lackawanna County’s least privileged families and households. The report also offers a series of recommendations that would help these families and households meet basic needs and enjoy a modest but dignified existence.
