Police: Vandals destroy donations at Red Lion-area food pantry for third time
York Dispatch
A food pantry near Red Lion that was created to help those in need during the COVID-19 pandemic has been vandalized for a third time, police said.
Food dropped off in the Little Free Food Pantry s collection box was dumped and destroyed three weeks in a row, founder Jerry Pilachowski said Wednesday. We think they re deliberately doing it. We don t know (why). We have no idea, he said. They re throwing it everywhere.
Volunteers thought it was an accident the first time it happened, since people throw food into the collection bin sometimes, Pilachowski said.
EDITORIAL: Pa. s friends and family appointments

Thumbs down to yet another cozy appointment to a well-paying state vacancy.
State Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman, R-Centre, named Frances “Fran” Regan to serve a two-year term on the state’s Gaming Control Board. Regan, a former federal probation officer who has spent the past six years running a private business providing fitness and personal safety classes for women, will earn $145,000 a year in the post.
Nice work if you can get it. And to get it, it helps to have personal ties to state lawmakers.
Regan is the wife of two-term state Sen. Mike Regan, R-Dillsburg. She replaces Merritt Reitzel, who was appointed by Corman’s predecessor, Republican Joe Scarnati, whose chief of staff was Reitzel’s brother-in-law.
