LV Hispanic Businesses Ask Allentown Mayor to Correct LANTA's "Insensitive Oversight"

Lázaro Fuentes chairs the Lehigh Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Pennsylvania's largest Hispanic organization. It includes 318 businesses that employ over 2,550 people with over 12,500 family and extended family members right here in the Lehigh Valley.

Today's post concerning Allentown's "head in the sand" response to the apparent discriminatory impact of LANTA's bus stop relocation, has spurred Mr. Fuentes to contact Mayor Pawlowski.
Dear Mayor,
The transportation item described below in today’s “Lehigh Valley Rambling Blog” is of grave concern to us. I truly hope that there is thought being given to correcting this insensitive oversight. Your help in this matter would be appreciated. Thank you and
Regards,
Lázaro Fuentes
Chairman,
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of the Lehigh Valley

    Good for Mr. Fuentes. These things show why a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is needed in the LV.

    When is the last time Pawloski or Fuentes rode a bus in Allentown? You have to sample the product before you judge it. How do they know what change to make. Take a ride on LANTA and find out.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
