		<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. Furthermore, in response to previous questions by CECIL TIMES, Allison acknowledged in a footnote to his letter that Eden Rehab and Rescue—which is currently under investigation for alleged [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT NEWS ANALYSIS A majority of the Cecil County Council indicated support this week for county purchase of an existing private animal shelter facility, but some members reserved judgment on County Executive Tari Moore’s plan to create a fully government-operated program, with county worker payscales and benefits. But Moore refused to say how much total county operation of the program would cost. Many of her proposals fly in the face of financial facts about operations of animal control services in the state, including her claim that she can create a government-related non-profit charity to get grants and donors to subsidize the employment of government workers with county payscales and benefits. In fact, her proposals run counter to the trend of local governments increasingly moving to contract with private non-profit groups to operate government- owned shelter facilities to save taxpayer money. And Moore is putting most of the power to create and oversee her new untested animal services plan into the hands of one county employee whose experience and portfolio covers transit buses and a senior citizens exercise facility. Moore, who has conducted a secret and unilateral review of county animal control options for several years, finally [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[HARRIS CLOBBERS SMIGIEL IN GOP $ Incumbent US Rep. Andy Harris (R-1) has raised some princely sums for his re-election campaign while his challenger in the Republican primary, former state delegate Michael Smigiel, is a relative pauper, according to new filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). As in past elections, Harris’ reports look like the office directory at a major medical center, with donations from political action committees (PACs) associated with medical specialty groups, from radiologists to orthopedists to surgeons. Harris is a physician who practiced anesthesiology at Johns Hopkins Hospital. So a surgeon’s PAC donated $3,500 in two contributions, while orthopedists chipped in another $3,500 and the uniquely named “Brain PAC” thought Harris deserved its $1,000 donation. Overall, for the first six months of this year, Harris reported total contributions from individuals of $271,000, and $144,290 from PACs, for a total raised of $415,370 in new money. He already had a cash on hand balance from previous fundraising of $297,598. So even after campaign expenditures, such as printing expenses, fundraiser events, etc, amounting to $133,563, Harris ended up with a total of $579,620 cash on hand in his campaign warchest.
