Today is World Press Freedom Day, but here's what Senator Scott Wagner did yesterday

By -

On yesterday's "About Town" post, we cited a quote by State Senator Scott Wagner that demonstrated his ignorance of science. We said the quote tells you all you need to know about Senator Wagner.

We were wrong. 

There's more you should know about the senator. 

Yesterday, he disrupted his own speech, stole a videographer's camera and apparently assaulted him. Fortunately, the videographer continued filming with a cellphone. 

The two videos plus the rest of the story can be found here:

So this is not okay but Berkeley can deny conservative speakers,deny freedom of speech, riot, protest and become violent?

Berkeley has nothing to do with it. Wagner disrupted his own speech, stole the guy's camera, allegedly assaulted him, and then hid in his office. The only mistake the photographer made was relinquishing his camera.

He entered a private meeting, even admitted to it on camera. So his initial mistake is what prompted everything after that. My point is, when will you post ANY of the wrong doings of the Democrats and their bad behaviors?

So Wagner's people should have called the police to deal with it. Not personally commit assault. If he can't handle one troll with a camera, then how the hell is he going to handle being a governor?

And this isn't kindergarten. One wrong does not allow another.

Yeah, it's just too bad that RWNJ's like Wagner have to have closed meetings at country clubs!

“I don’t want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member.” Reportedly said by Groucho Marx.

Ditto that, good buddy.

If the senator has nothing to hide, he should welcome anyone from the media. Escalating the issue is not the answer.

Columbia's decision to ban former employee from its property may be 'unconstitutional' [Lancaster Watchdog]

By Columbia Spy -

Chris Vera [Columbia Spy file photo] The following information is excerpted from a December 6, 2025 LNP Watchdog article by LNP | LancasterOnline reporter Jade Campos. Still reeling from an abrupt firing from his role as head of the Columbia Market House in March, Chris Vera was surprised to get a letter in the mail from a Columbia Borough attorney two weeks later telling him he was banned indefinitely from borough property. The letter gave no reason for the ban. Nine months later, Vera, who has served as president of the Columbia Historic Preservation Society for more than a decade and has helped with the borough’s comprehensive plan, is still banned from borough property. He believes the ban includes borough parks, which is part of the reason he moved his annual Albatwitch Day festival, which celebrates the myth of a local cryptid, to Wrightsville. Vera said he’s not sure why the borough went to such lengths to keep him away from public spaces given his termination from the borough s...

NATHAN WILLISON | LNP Staff Writer An East Donegal Township man is facing criminal charges after police say he struck a 13-year-old with his truck and fled the scene last month.  Derek Scott Mohr, 28, is charged with causing an accident involving death or injury without a license, failing to stop to render aid, driving at an unsafe speed and related charges.  Mohr had been driving a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado through Chestnut Street in Columbia around 8 p.m. March 20 when he struck a 13-year-old boy riding a motorized scooter and continued driving, according to charging documents filed by police.  When police arrived, they found the boy with a broken leg and a cut to his forehead. His scooter was lying nearby, its handlebars completely snapped off.  Another teenager who witnessed what happened described the truck to police and said that the driver made no attempt to stop after striking the boy. Surveillance footage collected from the area shows the truck striking the b...

Mayor Lutz must accept responsibility

By Columbia Spy -

  GUEST COMMENTARY [Name withheld by request out of fear of retaliation] For two decades, Leo Lutz has occupied the mayor's office in Columbia, and his supporters are quick to credit him with every positive development in our borough, but leadership is a two-way street. If Mayor Lutz is going to accept praise for Columbia's successes, many of which, frankly, he had little direct involvement in, then he must also be held accountable for our failures. The facts paint a troubling picture. Despite the mayor's repeated assurances that our streets are safe, we've witnessed a disturbing rise in assaults, shootings, and vandalism. His promises have fallen by the wayside: the foot patrol we were promised never materialized, nor did the bike patrol that was supposed to increase our sense of security. Fiscally, the situation is equally dire. Taxes have increased at least twice during Mayor Lutz's tenure, yet the borough now finds itself millions of dollars in debt. This isn...
