SCRANTON — The mayor and city council president in financially struggling Scranton say they’re confident they’ll receive approval for a compromise financial recovery plan after a long standoff that forced temporary pay cuts for hundreds of workers.

Mayor Chris Doherty attended a city council meeting Thursday for the first time in several years after being invited to sit in following last month’s agreement on a recovery plan.

The Times-Tribune of Scranton reported Doherty and council President Janet Evans said they’re still modifying the plan to address concerns raised by the city’s recovery coordinator but ultimately expect the plan to be approved.
