		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES Special Report Cecil County Animal Services failed to inspect multiple kennel businesses in 2018 and is only now scheduling inspections, according to the county attorney, after CECIL TIMES reported previously that many inspections were not conducted or licenses issued as required by county law. “The County acknowledges it has been late in performing several kennel inspections in 2018,” Jason Allison, the county attorney, wrote in a letter to CECIL TIMES that was sent via email late Friday (2/8/2019) afternoon. He further admitted that four commercial and/or boarding kennel businesses had applied for licenses but the county failed to inspect the facilities or issue licenses as required in 2018. He said that the four premises would be inspected soon, and that the owners would not be fined or extra fees imposed for their 2018 licenses that were not issued previously. Kennel license applications must be submitted in April of each year, and county inspections of the premises are usually conducted in May, with licenses issued upon completion of the inspections.

		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES Special Report Cecil County’s government-operated Animal Services agency recently raided two locations, in Elkton and Rising Sun, and took into custody 63 animals as part of an investigation of alleged animal “neglect” by a non-profit animal rescue organization, according to county officials. But there are many unanswered questions about licensing and inspection of “rescues” and kennels by the county animal agency, including information provided to CECIL TIMES contending that many kennels were not inspected or licenses issued in 2018 as required by county law. CECIL TIMES had arranged in advance a telephone conference call to discuss kennel license and inspection issues, including the “rescue” raided by the county, for Tuesday afternoon with key county officials, including Abigail Bingham, the animal services director, and her boss, David Trolio, the Community Services and transit head, and county attorney Jason Allison. But Allison abruptly cancelled the call via email 15 minutes before it was due to start, saying that no discussion would be allowed and only written questions would be considered for response at a future date. He stated that the “ongoing investigation” of the rescue group precluded any discussion of the matter. But in subsequent emails, he declined to [&#8230;]]]></description>
