		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore on Friday submitted to the County Council proposed changes to the county’s animal law that would convert an independent citizen ‘oversight’ panel into an ‘advisory’ board dominated by county government officials to supervise the county’s private animal control contractor. The revisions also remove language allowing the panel to consult with a licensed veterinarian on animal matters. Moore unilaterally suspended operations of the Animal Care and Control Oversight Commission (ACCOC), which was established under county law, several months ago after an incident following a panel meeting when several Girl Scouts were allegedly subjected to racial slurs outside the county building. The scouts spoke up to advocate humane treatment of animals housed at the Elkton shelter rented by A Buddy for Life, Inc., which holds a $2.24 million county animal control contract. A videotape of the incident has gone viral on the Internet and reports of the incident have received state, national and international media attention.

Instead, county administrator Al Wein and county attorney Jason Allison responded, saying Moore had asked them to reply [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A citizen’s budget advisory panel told the Cecil County Council on Tuesday that it should slash county public schools spending to the bare bones level required by state law, ban overtime pay for guards at the county jail, and freeze almost all hiring. But the panel also cautioned that the county executive’s new budget proposal is endangering the county’s fiscal future by draining reserve funds in an uncertain economy to pay for current spending. A similar list of recommendations by a citizens’ panel including some of the same members was virtually ignored by the County Council last year. Several of the latest proposals drew obvious skepticism from Council members on Tuesday. But this time, there was more interest in some more detailed and intriguing analysis by the panel on the county’s economic future and concerns about a pattern of raiding past reserve funds accumulated over decades as a cushion against economic adversity but now being used to pay for current spending. James Butkiewicz, an economist and chair of the seven-member panel, emphasized that the local economy, especially the real estate market, was still troubled and the county government should not be overly optimistic about economic recovery to support local government [&#8230;]]]></description>
