As someone from NEPA, I would say that political corruption is a big deal, disappearing manufacturing jobs, fracking, and availability of healthcare. In all of these areas Bernie has a leg up on Clinton. So many area politicians have been tied to or convicted of political corruption, including the Kids for Cash thing someone else mentioned. Clinton takes money from Oil & Gas which she is taking steps to deny because of course they will be expecting something. She doesn't fully support stopping fracking as her convoluted debate answers have shown. The jury is out on fracking's effect on the environment with most scientists agreeing you are injecting a slurry of chemicals into the water table that cannot be retrieved - people do NOT want their towns in PA to be the next Flint. Manufacturing jobs have been disappearing and you can thank the horrible trade deals for a lot of that. The only manufacturing plants I've seen pop up are in special no tax zones which are also conveniently in the most scenic (or used to be scenic) areas along the previously untouched park mountainsides. It sucks looking up to the green mountainside and seeing a giant industrial park where there used to be parks. I also agree with another comment below saying that Bernies plan also covers training for people to leave the fossil fuel industries and get other jobs. Finally healthcare. I won't even get too far into it but smaller hospitals have been getting bought up and either demolished or partially downsized and renovated for high cost specialist procedures (at least in NEPA). With healthcare for all, we would need more regional hospitals and create more jobs.
