		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS New Cecil County Executive Danielle Hornberger may have gotten her political dream team when she installed two Annapolis Republican political consultants as members of her administration: a consultant who specializes in financial disclosures required of political campaigns to become county finance director and a prominent lobbyist and campaign consultant, who has no record of ever handling a court case, as the county attorney. But what county taxpayers will get in return for the six-figure salaries they will likely be paying for each of them is less clear. While they lack relevant local government and legal experience. they bring in strong Republican political ties to Annapolis power brokers, especially State GOP chairman Dirk Haire, who aided the Hornberger campaign with polling in the party primary here and represented her in court when her campaign financial disclosures and other documents were challenged by outgoing County Executive Alan McCarthy, who lost overwhelmingly to her in the GOP primary. The appointments of the two Annapolis consultants, along with several other new department heads named by Hornberger, were rushed through the County Council Tuesday evening (12/8/2020) less than 24 hours after council members first learned their names and received resumes&#8211; and about an [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS The old political wisdom, “all politics is local,” is being turned on its head in the District 5 race for Cecil County Council, with the incumbent, Jackie Gregory, raking in Annapolis and Washington campaign donations while her opponent in the 2020 Republican primary election, Don Harmer, is relying on Cecil County supporters, according to new campaign finance reports filed with the state Board of Elections. Gregory has received a total of $6,303 in contributions, political committee transfers, event ticket proceeds and “in kind” donations of services, with expenditures of $1,001. She reported a remaining bank balance of $5,301 in as yet unspent money. Her donations included money from residents of Delaware and Pennsylvania as well as the Annapolis area and other non-Cecil County locales. The most interesting aspect of Gregory’s campaign finance report, which covered activity in 2019 up until 1/8/2020, is the proportion of her political money that came from state and federal political candidates’ accounts&#8211; $2,350 of her total of all funds raised. That figure is almost as much as the $2,638 she received in direct contributions from individuals. State Sen.
