		<description><![CDATA[(First of two articles) Rep. Andy Harris doesn’t know where his political home will be after the upcoming redistricting this fall but for now, the First District Republican is spending his summer “vacation” working the small towns and waterways of the Eastern Shore. “I enjoy representing the Shore,” he told Cecil Times on Wednesday in an exclusive interview over lunch in Galena. Harris had just finished a boat tour of the Bohemia River with a Cecil County waterman who harvests catfish. “I personally hope that, for political reasons, they don’t divide the Eastern Shore,” he said. “They” are Democrats. Harris is resigned to the fact that Democrats are firmly in control of the redistricting process. Democrats hold all but one seat on the governor’s redistricting panel; the state’s congressional delegation that is playing a major role in behind-the-scenes maneuvers is dominated by Democrats; and a Democratic governor will present his redistricting plan to a Democratic-controlled General Assembly during a special legislative session in October. “It’s almost shameless partisan politics,” Harris said, and a process that makes voters “cynical about government.” The current 1st District includes all of the Eastern Shore as well as parts of Harford, Baltimore, and Anne Arundel [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A judicial selection panel has recommended five candidates to Governor Martin O’Malley for potential appointment to a vacant Cecil County Circuit Court judgeship, according to the Maryland Administrative Office of the Courts. One previous candidate withdrew and another did not receive the panel’s recommendation. Initially, there was a field of seven candidates for the post. But Harry D. Barnes III withdrew his name from consideration and the panel declined to recommend John H. Buck to the governor. Both Barnes and Buck ran unsuccessfully in the 2010 election for another vacant seat on the Circuit Court. Whoever is selected by the governor will have to defend the seat in the next election, presumably in 2012, if the governor makes an appointment this year. And that could be a hotly contested race if Del. Michael D. Smigiel (R-36) runs for a judgeship as is widely expected. Smigiel did not apply for an appointment to the court. The current vacancy was created by the retirement of Judge O. Robert Lidums. It is the last seat on the local Circuit Court bench that will turn over. Last December, Governor Martin O’Malley appointed Keith Baynes to the seat previously occupied by the late Judge Richard [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seven candidates, including some well-known local legal names, have applied for a gubernatorial appointment to a Cecil County Circuit Court judgeship, according to the Maryland Administrative Office of the Courts. Five of the candidates applied for the post before the deadline to do so on Thursday, while two others are carry-over candidates placed in a “pool” of potential appointees for a previous court vacancy. Whoever is selected by the governor will have to defend the seat in the next election, presumably in 2012, if the governor makes an appointment this year. And that could be a hotly contested race if Del. Michael D. Smigiel (R-36) runs for a judgeship as is widely expected. Smigiel did not apply for an appointment to the court. The current vacancy was created by the retirement of Judge O. Robert Lidums. It is the last seat on the local Circuit Court bench that will turn over. Last December, Governor Martin O’Malley appointed Keith Baynes to the seat previously occupied by the late Judge Richard Eli Jackson. (See previous Cecil Times report here: https://ceciltimes.com/2011/01/keith-baynes-r-named-to-circuit-court-2012-election-contest-expected/ Baynes, a Republican, will have to defend his seat in the 2012 election, and with two court seats potentially on the ballot, [&#8230;]]]></description>
