Hazleton, PA Author Publishes New Book with Dorrance

October 28, 2011 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
Betrayal and Deliverance of a Community, a new book by Pasco L. Schiavo has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

For any sovereign state to fail to allow a community whose people are deprived of the benefits of regional government to have its own regional government is an injustice against those people.

The Hazleton area in Pennsylvania is an example of such a deprived community, whose predicament is further complicated by its being divided among three counties: Luzerne, Carbon and Schuylkill. Because this community does not have a county unto itself, it is deprived of all benefits and advantages afforded to county governments.

The sovereign state of Pennsylvania has failed to allow its deprived communities the opportunity of having their own county government.

Pasco L. Schiavo, in Betrayal and Deliverance of a Community, makes a case for the creation of a county for the Hazleton area community and other communities like it. He has drawn up a proposal supporting his argument, affirming that such communities deserve their own county governments.
