Sen. Mike Regan of York County grabbed a 69-year-old climate demonstrator who walked with a cane, threw him to the ground, and steped over him to enter a restaurant — where Sen. Scott Martin, R-Lancaster, was hosting a $1,000-per-plate event.
"I was just aghast," said Carol Stowell, a UUCYork member who was part of Tuesday's protest and witnessed the encounter. "I just couldn't believe that a senator would behave that way." Stowell, who has spent years pushing for a gift ban in Harrisburg, said reform advocates have repeatedly tried to work directly with lawmakers but feel stonewalled. |
