WILKES-BARRE — Anne Ward knows when tax season is approaching in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Ward, owner of three Liberty Tax Service franchises, had a waiting room full of people Wednesday at her Wilkes-Barre location on South Main Street. They were anticipating the chance to audition to become one of the company’s iconic Lady Liberty performers, who will hold signs, wave at passersby and attract customers for the next three months. “We hire about 20 to 30 (performers) between all three locations,” said Ward.
