Having previously lived in the WB/Scranton area for over 25 years, I can tell you that there are many people there who STILL are living as though it were 40 years ago. Political corruption is rampant, which is why Hillary is so adored there (in addition to the fact that her father was from the area).
You are so right. I Just wanted to comment on the airport that the Hazleton area citizens are against. You have an aging population that will not allow progress. That is why the area is in the shitter. What is wrong with allowing a Cargo Airport into the area. It will bring jobs and money.
