		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County Council member Jackie Gregory (R-5) has filed as a candidate in the 2022 Republican primary for state Delegate in District 36, potentially casting aside the Council seat to which she won re-election just 14 months ago and challenging the all-Republican delegation that has worked together as a “team” for the past eight years to represent the four counties that comprise the 36th. If she succeeds, it would mean that the Cecil County Republican Central Committee would get a second opportunity to pick a successor to fill a vacant County Council seat, as the panel did recently to submit a list of its choices to replace Council member George Patchell (R-4) But Patchell, who resigned to become the Perryville town administrator, had just a year left on his term while an appointed replacement for Gregory would get to serve for more than two years without having to stand before voters. Gregory filed her candidacy papers on 1/5/2022 and created a new campaign finance committee to support her bid to move her political career to Annapolis. Unlike the three incumbent delegates, who are banned from campaign fundraising during the General Assembly session that begins on Wednesday, Gregory will [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County will have a new, non-local Health Officer with impressive educational credentials and experience in public health issues, taking over an agency that has struggled to address the drug crisis even as a new state report shows the county again has the second-worst opioid overdose death rate in Maryland. Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy has announced his selection of Lauren Levy, of Towson, as the new health officer, coming to the county from executive and research positions in public health with the University of Maryland School of Medicine and School of Law. She will replace Laurie Humphries, a veteran employee of the local Health Department, who has been the Acting Health Officer since Stephanie Garrity announced her retirement in mid-2018. Levy, who assumes her position later this month, will face the challenges highlighted in a new report issued by the state’s Opioid Operational Command Center (OOCC) that Cecil County’s opioid overdose death rate, measured on a population/ per-capita basis, was second only to Baltimore City in 2018 and also over a longer period from 2013 to 2017. “I am privileged to welcome Ms. Lauren Levy to this exponentially important position in Cecil County,” McCarthy said in a [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sen. Wayne Norman (R-35), a cheerful political presence in Harford and Cecil Counties who pursued a conservative legislative agenda and a personal agenda of kindness and humor, died suddenly Sunday at his home. He was unopposed for re-election in both the Republican primary and on the November general election ballot. Gov. Larry Hogan issued a statement, saying: “The First Lady and I are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Maryland State Senator H. Wayne Norman Jr., a distinguished public servant, husband, and father. Our hearts go out to Senator Norman’s wife, Linda, their two children, and granddaughter. “Senator Norman devoted decades of his life to serving his constituents in Harford and Cecil Counties, first at the local level, and then as a Delegate and Senator. His important and dedicated work on the Judicial Proceedings and Ethics Committees will not be soon forgotten, nor will his steadfast advocacy on behalf of rural Marylanders and our veterans.” Hogan added that state flags would be flown at half-staff in Norman’s honor Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy said he was “deeply saddened by this shocking news and our thoughts and prayers are with the Norman family at this most difficult time.
