Hi, I am a business owner and lawyer with an office in downtown Allentown. I am also a resident of South Whitehall. I represent many underprivileged people and minority groups. The map that has been drawn was clearly for Senator Browne. I have no other explanation for why there would ever be a district that split Allentown. My primary goal is to minimize any breaking of Allentown into two districts. Also it makes no sense that parts of Northampton County are drawn into a district with Allentown, but South Whitehall is excluded. South Whitehall is more similar to Allentown than any of the districts in Northampton (other than West Bethlehem). West Bethlehem is a part of Bethlehem and should be put back with that district. I have attached a map that has been circulating in the community. I believe it provides Senator Browne with a district he can win; it consolidates Allentown; and restores South Whitehall to its closest city. The Lehigh Valley does deserve the new 14th. We are one of the fastest growing areas in PA. If we are going to build a district around Pat Browne, lets make it fair. It should include far more of Lehigh County
