Pa. politician has drive-through window

[April 18, 2009]  SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) -- A politician in northeastern Pennsylvania has been getting some ribbing from his colleagues for it, but he said having a drive-through window at his office is working great.

State Rep. Kevin Murphy said his office in Scranton has the drive-through to make it easier for his constituents to see him. He said senior citizens, the disabled and those who have children in the car especially like the convenience of not having to walk into the office to drop off or pick up paperwork.

The first-term Democrat said he personally staffs the drive-through most Thursdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
