		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Low voter turnout, a confusing state election schedule that pushed the primary election to the dog days of summer, and secret campaign money that financed a slew of negative and juvenile, cartoonish glossy flyers combined to make the recently concluded local election the nastiest since the infamous nose-biting incident at the polls not that many years ago. But the chief target of this year’s attacks, County Councilor Al Miller (R-3) survived, with 51.5 percent of the vote, and did so while walking the high road&#8211; without resorting to the sort of cheap shots orchestrated and financed by Del. Kevin Hornberger (R-35B). Kevin Hornberger assembled a “slate” of candidates trying to take over the Council to create a compliant majority to support his wife, Danielle Hornberger, the county executive whose $98,000 a year salary will be on the line in the 2024 election. Danielle Hornberger will still get a majority on the Council that will be sworn into office in December, but there will still be two independent voices—Miller and, depending on the issue, current Council President Bob Meffley (R-1). But it remains to be seen if Hornberger’s chief ally and advocate&#8211;Jackie Gregory (R-5), the current vice president of [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS We’ve seen it before in Cecil County politics: a disgruntled lone wolf creates a rump group with a name similar to a well-established organization to confuse the public and launch political attacks on the original group. So, a dissident online presence created in 2016 by conservative activist Vincent Sammons that had existed as a little-known Facebook page suddenly emerged in recent days as a “new” voice by attacking the original group whose name he co-opted. The Republican Club of Cecil County has functioned for many years as a local GOP organization that supported national, state and county Republican political candidates, held fundraising events and, until a few years ago, operated a Political Action Committee (PAC) registered with the state Board of Elections to make donations to candidates it endorsed. [The club&#8217;s &#8220;Republican Club of Cecil County PAC&#8221; operated from 2006 to 2012.] Sammons sought nomination as President of the Club in 2016, and received the support of a nominations committee, which he headed, sources said. But then other club members opposed his nomination and put forward the name of Alan McCarthy, who had won the general election for Cecil County Executive. The full club membership picked McCarthy as [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In what has become a sad annual ritual, Cecil County Sheriff Scott Adams pleaded with the County Council this week on behalf of his office’s budget while wearing a mourning band around his badge in honor of a Delaware state trooper murdered a few days ago just a short distance over the Cecil County line. Last year, local deputies were mourning the murder of two deputies in adjacent Harford County, as Adams urged local budget support for his agency.* But Adams said during his Tuesday (5/2/2017) appearance before the County Council that it was “not the time to be sad,” but instead to renew commitments to serving the public. He said he was “grateful” to County Executive Alan McCarthy for authorizing a budget proposal that would increase the number of deputies slightly and approve pay boosts and salary modifications that could help address a longstanding problem: recruiting and retaining officers both for law enforcement and running the county detention center. Escalating numbers of violent acts against law enforcement officers nationwide, as well as the murder of a corrections officer in Delaware recently, make it that much harder to recruit and keep qualified officers, Adams said. Adams is asking the County [&#8230;]]]></description>
