Comments on: Cecil County Exec McCarthy: No Tax Rise in New Budget; Will Seek Re-election in 2020 https://ceciltimes.com/2019/01/cecil-county-exec-mccarthy-no-tax-rise-in-new-budget-will-seek-re-election-in-2020/ News and Views for Cecil County and the Eastern Shore of Maryland Fri, 25 Nov 2022 14:21:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.38 By: Ron Lobos https://ceciltimes.com/2019/01/cecil-county-exec-mccarthy-no-tax-rise-in-new-budget-will-seek-re-election-in-2020/#comment-66117 Fri, 08 Feb 2019 13:17:49 +0000 https://ceciltimes.com/?p=5415#comment-66117 I think Dr. McCarthy is doing an exemplary job with economic development. He has been able to capitalize on the Trump economy and bring new opportunity to Cecil County. I am happy to hear that he will continue to promote economic development, job creation and educational improvement to the county. However, the one thing that I hear concerns about from most Cecil County resident is the poor conditions of County Roads.

Cecil County Roads are a mess. That includes the neighborhoods too. And I don’t want to hear excuses about how the state cut funding to the County. We seem to have found over $20M for new libraries, artificial turf playing fields and Calvert park. Now it’s time to spend our tax dollars on something all of us benefit from. I have been patient but now is the time for our County Executive to spend tax dollars that affect each and every Cecil County citizen on a daily basis, not just special interests.

I trust that Dr. McCarthy will have an opportunity to read this and react in a positive manner as he always does.
