		<description><![CDATA[“Alexa, bring 700 jobs to Cecil County, ASAP.”—Cecil County government “Of course. My Pleasure.”—Amazon Echo’s “Alexa” virtual assistant Online retailer Amazon will open a $90 million mega-warehouse, employing up to 700 full-time workers, in the Principio Business Park off Route 40 near Perryville. State loan/grants of over $1.2 million and a Cecil County government contribution of $120,000 drawn from casino revenues will assist the project. The Baltimore Business Journal first identified Amazon as the tenant of the planned 1 million square feet distribution center in its Friday editions. Since all parties to the transaction had signed confidentiality agreements, the transaction had been shrouded in secrecy, even as a resolution was introduced into the Cecil County Council on Tuesday 1/3/17 to endorse a state loan for the project and to commit county aid to it. In documents submitted to the Council, the project was referred to as “Project Iron.” However, CECIL TIMES has since verified the identity of the new warehouse tenant as Amazon with several sources. A public disclosure of Amazon’s project is expected to be made on Tuesday, 1/17/17 when the Council is slated to vote on the resolution at its evening meeting. Members of the County Council were [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS It was hardly a surprise when the Cecil County Council adopted, by a 3-2 majority vote Tuesday evening, a minimally revised version of County Executive Tari Moore’s proposed Fiscal 2015 budget. The key decisions had all been thrashed out at a worksession last week and another session Tuesday morning. But before the ink had even been applied to the final document, the budget was negative political fodder for some election candidates who’ve never shown up at a budget worksession or presentation to the Council by county department heads, and some who criticize the county public schools while demonstrating they could use some remedial English lessons. Even as the Council was meeting on the budget, one political challenger was sending out negative campaign robocalls and attacks. That prompted an unusually blunt response, in an email to county schools employees obtained by Cecil Times from confidential sources, by County Schools Superintendent D’Ette Devine—noting the voting records of two current Council members who have consistently opposed school program spending and advising about challenger candidates who also oppose education spending. The two Council members who voted against the county budget and who are both candidates for re-election—Councilors Diana Broomell (R-4) and Michael [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s been a rough winter on Cecil County roads, as multiple snowstorms and freezing temperatures have buckled pavement and opened up crater-sized potholes on many streets and highways. So county roads officials are asking to tap reserve funds to pay for emergency repairs as well as new budgeting flexibility so that allocated funds don’t expire before the repairs can be made in spring and summer. County Department of Public Works director Scott Flanigan and county Finance Director Winston Robinson explained the two-part initiative to the County Council at a Tuesday morning worksession, describing the plan as a more cost-efficient and work-efficient way of handling the damage inflicted by this winter’s non-stop battering of roadways. The two officials proposed tapping $2 million of the county’s “fund balance” reserve funds, with $1.5 million used for pothole filling, “mill and patch” repairs of many damaged roads, and full reconstruction of four severely damaged roads. In addition, about $500,000 would be used to repair bus loops at several schools that are so damaged they pose a threat to school bus and student safety. Flanigan emphasized that the project list drawn up by road officials is still growing, as new storms and freeze/thaw cycles in [&#8230;]]]></description>
