		<description><![CDATA[William C. Manlove narrowly retained his seat on the Cecil County Board of Education, according to final vote counts, and he slightly widened his election night winning margin over challenger Kevin Emmerich. Although the contest was officially non-partisan, the closeness of the race indicated there was spillover from the national political climate. Manlove, a former County Commissioner and an Earleville Democrat, defeated Emmerich, a Republican, by a final vote of 18,756 (51 percent) for Manlove to 17,756 (48.3 percent) for his challenger. The election night tally was 17,832 (51 percent) for Manlove, to 16,892 (48.3 percent) for Emmerich. During two rounds of absentee ballot counts plus a provisional ballot tally, Manlove easily retained his frontrunner status and expanded his final vote margin of victory. The final tally was not unexpected, since the number of absentee ballots distributed before the election was about evenly divided between Democrats and Republican&#8211; unlike past years when local GOP backers waged active campaigns to sign up their voters for absentee ballots and got a much stronger absentee tally. &#8211; But overall, the School Board race was much closer than had been expected, as conservatives rallied around Emmerich, a Republican and member of his party’s Central [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Republican Tari Moore made history Tuesday, winning election as Cecil County’s first County Executive by defeating her Democratic rival, Pam Howard, with 52.7 percent of the vote. Republican Alan McCarthy overwhelmingly won election to the District 1 County Council seat and incumbent Robert Hodge (R) won a decisive victory to retain his county commissioner seat on the new Council in District 5. “I am humbled and honored to be part of this historic moment in Cecil County’s history,” Moore posted on her Facebook wall after the results were tallied. Cecil County also re-asserted its increasingly conservative voting patterns, rejecting the winning candidacy of President Obama, the senatorial candidate and ballot questions that won support from a majority of voters statewide. From the tabulation of the early voting counts—after voting hours and days were extended due to the impact of Superstorm Sandy—through the final Tuesday night counts of all 19 county precincts plus the early vote results that are tallied as precinct 20, Moore consistently held the lead in the election returns. Only for a brief period—when the count was at 5 precincts—did the County Executive race get neck and neck, but with Moore still in the lead. The big local [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rep. Andy Harris (R-1) has been using teleconferences to talk with constituents in the far-flung district, in what have often been love fests with like-minded voters. But his Wednesday 6/29/11 telechat prompted some sharp questioning from several constituents worried about the current political battle over raising the ceiling on the national debt. Harris joined fellow Republicans in rejecting the Obama administration’s request to raise the ceiling on the national debt to $2.4 trillion in a 5/31/11 vote. Republicans are demanding major cuts in federal spending while Democrats have proposed closing tax loopholes for corporate jets, hedge funds and the wealthiest citizens. Harris’ mid-afternoon telechat was on the same day as President Obama’s press conference on the showdown, at which he challenged Republicans to work through their scheduled July 4 recess and avoid a last-minute crisis before a projected August 2 deadline for resolution of the stalemate. Unlike a telechat several weeks ago&#8211; during which Harris prefaced most of his answers to questioners with “You’re absolutely right”&#8211; this time the debt ceiling issue prompted some sharp questions and a few rebukes from constituents, reflecting concerns of many economists and business analysts that a default on US government bond payments could trigger [&#8230;]]]></description>
