Los votantes de Hazleton pueden decidir la forma futura del gobierno de la ciudad el martes.

The city's primary election ballots have a question that asks voters if they favor creating a commission to study adopting a home rule charter

Case accused Hazleton and its leaders of violating federal law by thwarting the election of Hispanic City Council candidates.

"Nos quedamos preguntándonos a quién está apuntando ICE si incluso los ciudadanos estadounidenses no están seguros," preguntó el hombre.

A small group of young people from Hazleton organized a demonstration to be a voice for their friends and family — people they say are scared under President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. On the corner of Broad and Church Streets in the majority Hispanic city in Luzerne County, they waved Mexican and American flags and held up signs in Spanish and English.

The suit says the city's at-large system for choosing five council members prevents the election of Hispanic candidates in violation of the federal Voting Rights Act.

NorthPoint Development’s large-scale technology processing center in Luzerne County is on its way to breaking ground – faster than ever before thanks to a new state program. Inside another, unrelated NorthPoint Project in the county, Governor Josh Shapiro signed a ceremonial executive order officially establishing Pennsylvania’s Permit Fast Track Program.
