		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT NEWS ANALYSIS/ COMMENTARY Cecil County Councilor Dan Schneckenburger, a candidate for County Executive in the upcoming Republican primary, is proposing to kill county contracts or grants with businesses or non-profits employing or aiding “undocumented workers,” tapping into a politically popular national anti-immigrant theme in the Donald Trump campaign for the GOP presidential nomination. But the proposal aims at a “problem” that data show is minimal locally and ignores how much it could cost local taxpayers to investigate contractors or grantee’s employee roster or potentially higher costs for construction and other projects. A statement outlining Schneckenburger’s proposal was emailed to members of the local and state press Monday night by Erik Robey, who has already received payments of $325 for preparation of “campaign brochures” from Schneckenburger’s campaign, according to state campaign finance records. Robey is the former Chief of Staff to Anne Arundel County Executive John Leopold, who was convicted in 2013 on two counts of misconduct in office in a wide-ranging scandal involving misuse of county employees and police in political activities and romantic affairs. Robey was a key witness in the trial but was not charged, although his testimony indicated he knew what Leopold [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[News Analysis It was almost like watching the Elkton version of “Sunset Boulevard” &#8212; the classic movie in which forgotten silent film star Norma Desmond pathetically declares, “Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up”&#8211; when the new Cecil County Council held its last formal session of the year Tuesday. Deadlocked again, the Council abdicated its role in filling a vacant District 2 seat and as a result, new County Executive Tari Moore will get to pick her own successor on the Council. Moore also stepped into the breech of a previous deadlock, when she was still a member of the old board of County Commissioners, over selection of a land preservation map mandated by the state. So she took action administratively to send to Annapolis a less-restrictive “tier” map (Map 10) that only includes lands already in preservation, such as parkland or farms that owners have voluntarily enrolled in farmland protection programs. If the county had not submitted its own map by 12/31/12, the state could have imposed a much more restrictive map on county land. “This map protects the property rights of our landowners, as well as the property rights of those with development currently going through the approval [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fundraising for candidates in the District 1 County Council race is much like the campaign itself: Dr. Alan McCarthy, a Republican, is actively engaged while his Democratic rival, Pamela Bailey, is largely absent. McCarthy, a Chesapeake City veterinarian and businessman making his first run for countywide office, has raised a total of $22,546. Cumulatively, small donations and fundraiser ticket purchases from individual members of the Cecil County Patriots, the local “tea party” organization, add up to $930— amounting to one of his largest contributions. McCarthy, who has bought and sold investment properties for many years, also received a $1,000 donation from the Maryland Realtors Political Action Committee (PAC) in Annapolis. His financial report listed the donation under receipts from “political clubs” rather than a separate section reserved for reporting PAC money. The Realtors PAC has also donated $3,000 to the campaign of Tari Moore, a County Commissioner who is the Republican nominee for County Executive. McCarthy also received $1,200 from the Cecil County Republican Club and several other local candidates shipped funds from their own political accounts to McCarthy’s campaign. Candidate donations were received from Commissioner Robert Hodge (R-5) who is seeking re-election ($273); Judge Jane Murray ($373), who is [&#8230;]]]></description>
