Shareholders of a Dunmore bank said its board of directors mismanaged the institution so badly it drove the bank's stock price down 80 percent in three years. Now they are taking the bank to court.

The suit claims the board of FNCB of Dunmore gave the go-ahead to high risk real estate loans. Many of them went to other board members and their friends.

Those behind the suit said the move cost the bank tens of millions of dollars and hurt several local investors who bought stock in the bank.

"In the desire for some of these lead directors to help their friends acquire some financial worth, particularly those friends on the board, their vision became blurred in making those loans," said Joe Solfinelli, attorney for the plaintiffs.

Wednesday afternoon the bank responded to the suit in an e-mail, writing, "As a matter of general policy, neither the company nor the bank comments on pending legal or regulatory matters."

A hole that opened in a road last Friday in Lackawanna County is getting bigger.

Experts from the state said the hole on Keystone Avenue in Peckville was 25 feet deep and 25 feet across when they examined it Friday.

Now PennDOT officials said the hole has doubled in size, growing to 50 deep and 28 feet across.

Crews tried to file the subsidence Monday with concrete from seven full-size concrete trucks but the hole was too deep.

A geologist is now expected to inspect the hole.
