Is a local elected official profiting from no-bid public contracts? [Lancaster Watchdog]

When the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020, the Lancaster County courts closed their doors. That was a blow to the countyâs 55 constables â elected officials who often serve low-level warrants and transport prisoners for the district courts and are paid per job â were out of work. A year later, one local constable s private business, which he started at the beginning of the pandemic, has won most, if not all, of the lucrative no-bid contracts to provide security to COVID-19-related facilities, paid for with public funds. Michael Chance, a constable from Strasburg, personally stands to earn somewhere between $51,000 and $90,000 from the roughly $1 million in contracts obtained by his company, Constable Peace Keeping Detail LLC. Whatâs less clear is whether his clients were aware they were contracting with an individualâs company, not the association representing all constables in the county.
