perhaps nothing illustrates the nation's financial crisis more than this simple fact. scranton, pennsylvania is paying its police officers and firefighters minimum wage. the people who protect us, who put their lives on the line, how did scranton get to this point? here's cnn's brian todd. >> reporter: john judge is a 10-year veteran of the scranton fire department. when he opened his paycheck recently, he was upset but not surprised. >> $7.25 an hour. >> reporter: minimum wage, an 80% pay cut for judge, his fellow firefighters, police and other public servants.

>> they have members in our bargaining unit whose sons and daughters who are out for the summer in high school who are working at pools as lifeguards or working at small part-time job making $8.50, $9 an hour and their father is running into burning buildings for $7.25 an hour and it's ridiculous. >> reporter: he places most of the blame on this man, scranton mayor chris daugherty. recently, daugherty unilaterally cut the paychecks of 400 city workers, including his own, to minimum wage. he says he has no choice, that the city can't pay the bills. >> right now we have a $16 million deficit. i'm trying to keep the city operational. not only paying employees and keeping the garbage and fire trucks running, keeping the police cars running, being able to pave the streets, take care of the parks. so it's a challenge for us. >> reporter: one financial analyst calculated scranton only

had $5,000 cash in the bank last week, that it's up to now $130,000. unpaid bills have forced scranton to borrow money to stay afloat. now lenders are spooked because the city didn't pay a debt and the mayor and city council can't agree on a plan. the mayor wants to raise taxes. the council wants to find other sources of revenue. two other cities, stockton, california and san bernardino opted for bankruptcy. but analysts say even in this climate, scranton's problems are rare. last year, less than 2% of american cities found themselves without enough cash to coverer more than a month's expenses. scranton has averaged enough just for one day.

>> we're going to bring this home. you see the man on your home? he is a firefighter in scranton. he's being doing this for ten years and joins us live. thanks for coming in. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> so you are the face of what's happening in scranton, pennsylvania. your pay has been cut 66%. you're making $7. 25 an hour, supporting a family, two young kids. did you think this would happen, bob? >> no. we really had no idea. we were given less than a week's notice that this would occur. >> what does it mean for you personally? bring it home to the viewer who is saying this might not happen in my hometown, what does it mean for you and your family when you ohmyou opened that las paycheck? >> i'm a very proud parent and to be able to provide for my family. i'm concerned that if this main

ta tans, i won't be able to do that. >> you're putting it in perspective. there are men and women trying to support their family not having jobs, but at minimum wage, you can be flipping burgers, doing some other job and not putting your life on the job. you are every single day. does that change how you do your job? >> yeah, it does. through this, you know, we've remained unified. we are protecting the city. we're going to work as usual. really hoping for a quick resolution to this. this measure of stalled politics is basically has us caught in the middle right now. >> what about safety? you think about what you're

making and do you worry that you might hesitate before running into a burning building or your colleagues might hesitate before doing that? >> no, i always aspired to be a firefighter and i never really thought i would become rich in becoming a firefighter. we're not hesitating. we're there protecting the residents of the city of scranton. it's not their fault this is happening. just like it's not our fault. but we're relying upon each other in the stations to keep each other positive. but this is a catastrophic blow to the majority of our members. >> a catastrophic blow indeed. tell me a little bit about what you're most concerned about right now. when you go home and sit at the dinner table with your kids, family, what are you thinking about? >> with two small children, you know, the stress associated with bringing home enough money to buy formula, diapers and food, that's coming into play right now. that's not considering mortgage

costs, small amount of student loan debt that my wife and i have and regular utilities. we've always maintained a frugal lifestyle because we're very happy and satisfied with the career paths we've chosen. it's getting tight right now. i'm living on savings right now, and that can last us about three weeks. >> three weeks? >> correct. >> so what's your plan? what if this doesn't get resolved, do you move, go to another city where they need firefighters? do you go somewhere else? >> you know, i believe in the area. i'm from the area. i'm not going to quit. i'm not going to uproot my family at this point. i would like to remain optimistic right now and high pressure that both sides can come to a speedy resolution. with that said, i need to provide for my family. so my wife and i will have some decisions to make. >> absolutely understandable. bob, thank you.

i appreciate it. good luck and we'll keep following this. thank you for coming in. >> thank you. >> scranton is not alone. other cities are cutting salaries and services. san bernardino, california declared bankruptcy. tonight, we have a special for you. we're going to talk a lot more about scranton, the possible threats to public safety and security in a number of cities that are threatened right now by the financial crisis. coming up next, disturbing images of a woman assaulted in india. this video has gone viral.

it is most certainly not breaking news that jobs are hard to come by. but they are especially hard for young americans. we look at how some cash strapped cities are getting creative. >> reporter: at 19 years old, she's already endured plenty of hardship. >> our house went into foreclosure and after that we went from house to house living with other people. >> reporter: after three years of bouncing around to multiple homes with her mom and three siblings, her living situation took a toll. she was forced to drop out of high school in order to help support her family. according to the bureau of labor statistics, the unemployment rate for 16 to 24-year-olds looking for a job is more than

so this gives me more experience to show me how things work so when i get to grad school. if i didn't have this job, i wouldn't be able to pay for some of my bills that i have or for next semester, food, expenses, stuff like that. >> we're hoping that young people learn how to go to work, learn the soft skills that employers say they want when they hire somebody in terms of being on time, reporting to work every day, being able to follow directions. >> reporter: stimulus money for programs like this one ran out in 2010. but baltimore partnered with the private sector to keep it going. officials say investing in youth now will likely pay off in the long run. sandra endow, cnn, baltimore. coming up now on half past the hour. let's get caught up on the

headlines. a family and church congregation near boston waiting for any news out of egypt. this is why. a pastor, one woman from his group and a tour guide were kidnapped in egypt. the last we heard, they're being held in northern sinai. the kidnappers reportedly don't want money but demanding their relatives be released from an egyptian jail. visa and mastercard have agreed to, get this, a $6 billion settlement, settling a huge anti-trust lawsuit. it has to do with alleged price fixing of so-called swipe fees that retailers charge when you use a credit card. an attorney for the national association of convenience stores said his organization is not supporting this settlement. >> well, you have to read the fine print when you deal with credit card companies and that's true here, too. when you read the fine print, it's eye opening. they're not going to reduce the

fees, even for the eight months. what they're going to do is give merchants the equivalent of that amount of cash and keep raising the fees. the cruel joke is, by the time any merchant gets some of these -- this money, they will have raised the fees on the merchant's more than what they paid out in the first place. so merchants are paying for it themselves. >> here's why. this allows retailers to start passing on extra fees to you, the shopper, when you pay with your credit card. a judge still needs to approve that settlement. the losses mount but the stock rises at jpmorgan chase. losses linked to that botched trade out of london climbed to $5.8 billion. also today, "the new york times" is reporting that federal regulators are looking into whether or not the bank had employees trying to defraud investors. at the closing bell on friday,

a lot of americans are still learning about mitt romney's business background, and the obama campaign is trying its best to influence what they learned. romney says his years at bain capital created thousands of jox. the obama team insist romney's deals sent american jobs overseas. the latest dispute, when romney left his post as leader of bain and whether he oversaw deals that led to outsourcing. he addressed it all in an interview with correspondent jim acosta. >> governor, thanks for joining us. let's talk first about this controversy when you left bain capital. i'll put one of the documents in question up on screen. there are s.e.c. filings stating you were ceo past 1999, when you say you left bain to run the olympics. why was your name still on these documents and why didn't you clear this up sooner? >> well, i was the owner of an entity that is filing that information. but i have no role whatsoever in

the management of bain capital after february of 1999. not that would have been a problem to have said i was with the firm beyond that, but i wasn't. i left in february of 1999 to run the olympics. i relinquished all management authority and role in bain capital after february of 1999. >> how do you explain that discrepancy that your name is on these filings and yet you said you left the firm in 1999? weren't you concerned at some point these filings might become public and people would see your name was still on these file sngs >> there's nothing wrong with being associated with bain capital, but i left any role at bain capital in february of 1999. and that's known and said by the people at the firm. it's said by the documents offering documents that the firm made subsequently about people investing in the firm. and i think anybody who knows i

was running the olympics would understand that's where i was. i spent three years running the olympic games and after that was over, we worked out our departure. there's a difference between being a shareholder and a person who is running an entity. i had no role whatsoever in managing bain capital after february of 1999. by the way, this is all an effort on the part of the president's campaign to diverse attention from the fact that the president has been a failure when it comes to reigniting america's economy. we've had 41 straight months one employment above 8%. so he continues to try and find some way to attack me, other than to talk about policy. and it's time to talk about what it will take to get america working again. >> you also testified in 2002 in front of the massachusetts ballot law commission, your campaign provided us with a document from that filing, and it says, i'll read you a line,

it says the respondent, mitt romney, returned to massachusetts from utah to attend meetings at staples, a company you helped create when you were at bain capital. isn't that active participation at a bain related company? >> well, actually staples at that point was an investment by bain capital. bain capital had distributed its shares in staples, so my involvement with staples was entirely on a personal basis. i continue to be involved with the company. bain capital had no further interest in staples at that point. >> you mentioned the president's campaign -- >> yeah, i have -- there is going to be every effort to find some kind of attack piece on the part of the obama campaign. but interestingly, every independent fact checker that's looked at this in depth has said that the president's claims are false, misleading, wrong

headed. it got multiple pinocchios from one reviewer. what he's doing is everything in his power to try and divert attention from the fact that his policies have failed the american people. these kinds of attacks are simply completely out of character for what we expect from the president. >> when we come back, romney has some very strong words for the president and his campaign. >> there's no question but that his campaign is putting out information which is false and deceptive and dishonest and they know it and they ought to stop. >> deceptive, dishonest. we'll tell you what mitt romney is referring to in the second half of his interview coming up next.

mitt romney says the obama campaign has just gone too far with this latest attacks on his business career, and recent comments made by an kam aide got under his skin. jim acosta asked romney about those remarks in the second half of their extended interview. >> let me ask you about what the campaign has said. as you know, president obama's deputy campaign manager, stephanie cutter, was very harsh on a conference call on thursday. listen to what she said and we'll get your response afterwards. >> either mitt romney, through his own words and his own signature, was misrepresenting his position at bain to the s.e.c., which is a felony, or he was misrepresenting his position at bain to the american people to avoid responsibility for some of the consequences of his investments. >> she suggested you might be

guilty of a felony, governor romney. what is your response to that? >> is that really what's expected from the campaign of the sitting president of the united states? of the republican nominee of his party? is this the level that the obama campaign is willing to stoop to? is this -- is this up to the standards expected of the presidency of the united states? i don't think the american people think so. i certainly don't think so. i think it's a very disappointing revelation on their part. let's talk about what it takes to get america working again and to help the american people in very difficult times, as opposed to having a campaign doing what they said from the beginning. he announced one of their insiders said their campaign was going to be based upon the strategy of "kill romney." that's what they are doing. it's disgusting and demeaning and something the president should stop.

>> do you believe you're being swift boated in this campaign? >> well, in hadn't heard that term, but i think what the president is doing is terribly destructive to the political process and beneath what the people of america expect from someone who said he was going to rise above partisan politics and bring a new era of change to washington. we're not seeing that in this campaign so far. >> both campaigns on thursday, governor romney, were basically calling each other liars. is that the kind of campaign the american people should expect? and shouldn't your campaign take some responsibility for calling the president's campaign and their people liars? >> you know what? the president's campaign has done so far is run advertisement after advertisement, which is then shown by independent fact checkers to be wrong, false, misleading, yet they keep running them and hold press conferences continuing to speak about them. at some point, you have to

respond. you can't just have the airwaves covered with these ads day in and day out without saying those are false. >> so is the president lying about your record, governor romney? >> there's no question but that his campaign is putting out information which is false and deceptive and dishonest and they know it and ought to stop. >> they've called on you to release more of your tax returns. you released your 2010 tax return. bill clinton was on the "today" show saying you should release more. as you know, during the republican primaries, newt gingrich, rick perry all called for you to release your taxes. those are leaders from both parties saying you should release more of your taxes. when are you going to release more of your taxes and how many years? >> i've indicated that -- well, first of all, we've complied with the law. the law requires us to full out a full financial disclosure and that i've done. in addition, i've put out one

year of tax returns. we'll put out the next year of tax returns as soon as the accountants have that ready and that's what we're going to put out. people always want to get more, and we're putting out what is required, plus more that is not required. and those are the two years that people are going to have and that's all that's necessary for people to understand something about my finances and look, if people believe this should be a campaign about attacking one another on a personal basis and go back to the kinds of attacks that were suggested in some campaigns in the past, i don't want to go there. i want this to be a campaign about the direction for america and about who can get america working again and who can reign in the excessive deficits you're seeing in washington. the president apparently is not ready for an honest and important debate about the future of america. >> we have to go, governor. >> he's insisting on make thing a campaign of attacks. >> i wanted to ask you, there

was an item in the drudge report that said your campaign is vetting condoleezza rice or looking at condoleezza rice as a front runner for vice president. i know it's been your position not to talk about the vetting process or the vice presidential process. but are you concerned about your campaign and your candidacy being associated with so many members of the bush administration? you were holding a fund-raiser with dick cheney on thursday. john bolton is associated with your campaign and apparently you've been talking with condoleezza rice. are you concerned about that kind of association when that administration is still not very popular with the american people? >> well, i don't have anything to say about the vice presidential process. of course, i speak with people of a wide range of political backgrounds and views. john bolton is a very different person than condoleezza rice, who is a very different person. for instance than george schultz and henry kissinger.

i speak with people i agree with and disagree with. but my policies as relate to foreign and domestic policy are mine. they're not the carbon copy of any person's in the past. particularly with regards to domestic policy right now, what we have to do to get this economy going is very different than what happened under prior presidencies of president bush. this is a very different time with a very serious ongoing, distressed economy. i know what it takes to get this economy going. my jobs' recovery plan will do just that. and it's something i'm proud of and the american people deserve to have a discussion about that issue, not these attacks coming from the president. >> thank you very much for your time. we appreciate it. >> thanks, guys. >> interesting interview there. tomorrow on "state of the union," ed galespe will talk about his candidate's history at bain capital. and more on cnn's state of the union with candy crowley sundy
