W-B Mayor Tony George supported "Kids for Cash" Judge (Civiarella; serving 17 years). See letter to editor below. After the prison sentences were administered, Tony George proved to be one of the most stubborn and thick headed (and just plain stupid ) men alive. After all the of the irrefutable evidence was in regarding "Kids for Cash," Tony George would not relent on his apparent "man crush" of the nefarious Civiarella. In fact Tony George "double downed" on his position and continued his support of disgraced Civiarella at the W-B Mayoral candidate debate. 

Transcript (below) of the above letter written to Wilkes-Barre Citizens Voice Newspaper in 2008:

Editor:   We feel it is our responsibility to respond to the criticism that Judge Mark Civiarella has received the last few weeks concerning juvenile justice.

We can say from personal experience in Judge Civiarella's court room that he was always fair and firm with all students. 

His concern for safe schools was always a top concern for him. 

An example of his concern for safe schools is the fact that every year for the past 10 years, Judge Civiarella took the time from his busy schedule to speak to all students at Wilkes-Barre Area Vocational Technical School. 

He spoke to the students regarding the purpose of attending school and the consequences that result if the safety and welfare of any student or staff member was in jeopardy. 

Also, in the past several years, Civiarella participated in a school play in which he re-enacted a court room trial with the students acting as lawyers as well as victims of school violence.

His dedication of working with our students created a bond of trust and confidence with him, the students, and the staff. Students who have had personal experience with Judge Civiarella have expressed gratitude and thanks for his involvement in their lives. His concern for students after adjudication is what makes him so special. He has made a tremendous difference in the educational process of our school. 

In closing, Judge Civiarella will always be a part of Wilkes-Barre Area Vocational Technical School and we are thankful for all the years of quality and dedicated service he has given to our school and to our community.
