SEVERAL PROTESTERS ARRESTED AT STATE CAPITOL

Capitol Police arrested several protesters at the state Capitol after a demonstration calling for stricter campaign finance laws. According to the Tribune-Review, members of the group MarchOnHarrisburg marched through the building Monday and refused orders to disperse, resulting in citations and misdemeanor charges. Protesters were pushing for a ban on gifts to lawmakers, arguing current disclosure rules don’t go far enough. The group has advocated for similar reforms for years, as efforts to tighten Pennsylvania’s campaign finance laws have repeatedly stalled in the Legislature.
