		<description><![CDATA[Dan Schneckenburger, an engineer and past member of numerous county advisory panels and business groups, filed his candidacy on 1/6/13 for the Cecil County Council seat now held by Michael Dunn (R-3). In the recent past, Schneckenburger, a Republican, was highly critical of Dunn and his fellow members of the old “Three Amigos” majority of the county’s Board of Commissioners—a faction that also included current Council member Diana Broomell (R-4) and former Commissioner James Mullin (R-1). In December, 2011, the Three Amigos refused to re-appoint Schneckenburger as a volunteer member of the Susquehanna Workforce Network board—shortly after he wrote an op-ed column for the Wilmington News-Journal that criticized the Amigos’ majority, calling the group “quite possibly the worst administration in the history of Cecil County.” He criticized the group’s record on “crony” appointees to various boards and commissions and the politically-tinged ouster of the county’s former director of economic development. But in a statement announcing his candidacy this week, Schneckenburger never mentions Dunn’s name or the Amigos and seeks to bolster his credentials as a rock-ribbed conservative Republican: “I strongly support the principles of the Republican Party – with less government, protection of personal property and second amendment rights, and [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, a long-debated and much needed expansion of vocational/technical education in Cecil County has been resurrected with a proposed deal, announced Friday by the County Executive, to acquire the former Basell building and its 91-acre property on Appleton Road in Elkton for conversion to a new, state-of-the-art tech school and possible multi-use site for parkland and economic development opportunities. But past rejections and delays of the project by the old “Three Amigos” political faction of the Board of County Commissioners will yield a quick, nearly $4 million profit to Baltimore-based real estate interests, who snatched the property up a few months ago at a bargain-basement price in the aftermath of the “Three Amigos” group’s refusal even to consider a county purchase last year. Cecil County Public Schools (CCPS) officials were ecstatic at the revived proposal, which came about in recent weeks in top secret negotiations between CCPS and the new Baltimore owners of the site. Their efforts were encouraged by the shift to Charter government and the results of last November’s election, which yielded a new majority of political support for moving ahead with the conversion of the Basell building—which already features state-of-the-art science [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a final swan song before Charter government begins next Monday, the Three Amigos faction of the Cecil County Commissioners late Tuesday suddenly scheduled two “special” meetings so they can award an animal control contract to A Buddy for Life, a Delaware dog rescue group with no animal shelter and no experience in animal control, by the end of this week. A few minutes before 5 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, an email alert and posting on the county government website announced that there would be a “special meeting” of the Commissioners tomorrow, at 2 p.m. on Wednesday 11/28/12, and another “special meeting” at 10 a.m. Friday 11/30/12, “regarding the animal care and control contract between A Buddy for Life and Cecil County.” There was no public mention of such meetings, no details of a contract or pending action at the regular, public worksession of the County Commissioners held Tuesday morning. That worksession was previously scheduled as the last official meeting of the Commissioners before they go out of existence upon the onset of Charter government on Monday, 12/3/12 at noon.
