[naviga:h3]Wagner’s metaphor criticized by Wolf[/naviga:h3]

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania Republican gubernatorial nominee Scott Wagner is using what his campaign calls a metaphor and saying that he’ll stomp on the face of Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf with golf spikes.

Wagner made the comments in a nearly 3-minute Facebook video post Friday.

Wagner’s campaign says the comments aren’t to be taken literally and are a metaphor for how he’ll approach the campaign’s final stretch before the Nov. 6 election. Wagner was in the midst of complaining about ads attacking Wagner’s waste-hauling business.

Wolf’s campaign says the comments show Wagner is “unhinged and unfit for office.”

It’s the latest in a string of comments Wagner made that references violence.

A primary opponent’s attack ad in April called him “violent Wagner” and teased a video clip from last year when Wagner grabbed a camera from a campaign tracker working for a liberal political opposition group.

[naviga:h3]Pa. law sets fines for spy drone use[/naviga:h3]

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania will start imposing criminal penalties on people who use drones to spy on other people.

Gov. Tom Wolf signed the bill Friday, and it takes effect in 60 days.

Under it, the state imposes a fine of up to $300 on someone who uses a drone to invade someone else’s privacy or puts someone in fear of being physically harmed.

The law imposes a more serious penalty for someone who uses a drone to ferry contraband to an inmate in a prison. That’s a prison sentence of up to 10 years and a fine of up to $25,000.

The law prohibits municipalities from regulating drones. The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Jeff Pyle of Armstrong County, says he developed the bill’s wording with the Federal Aviation Administration.
