A view of the Pennsylvania State house from the State Street bridge in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, January 18, 2012. The Keystone State's capital city faces a $317 million debt that accumulated after a municipal incinerator was repaired and retrofitted in 2003. After Harrisburg's attempt to file bankruptcy was rejected by a judge last fall, Pennsylvania's governor installed a receiver that has sole authority over how tax dollars are spent. Compounding the financial mess, the city council and mayor barely speak, little money is available for routine road and streetlight repairs, and high crime and poor schools have fueled suburban flight.
