		<description><![CDATA[HOGAN ‘GREEN BAG’ has CECIL COUNTY HOLE; STATE CAPITAL $ to CECIL LAGS The annual rite of Annapolis, the governor’s “Green Bag” of appointments to various influential and inconsequential state boards and commissions, came out recently and as usual Cecil County was bypassed for anything of consequence. Just one local name was put forward, for a social worker licensing oversight panel. In contrast, Governor Larry Hogan touted how many of his new 169 appointees would be dealing with important job creation and economic development initiatives—and they hail from the Baltimore area and the Montgomery/Prince George’s counties urbanized areas. But even some other more rural areas fared better than Cecil County in getting appointees to panels that matter. The “Green Bag,” so-named for its presentation to the General Assembly in a historic, ceremonial green velvet bag containing a list of names for appointments to various state panels, was sent to legislators 2/19/16, with Hogan touting the fact that 10 percent of the appointees would be dealing with important economic and business development initiatives such as the Maryland Economic Development Commission or the Maryland Economic Development Corporation (MEDCO) Board of Directors. (Sorry, Cecil County, none for you.) Howard, Montgomery, and Baltimore counties [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was like an amateur tennis match Tuesday when the Cecil County Commissioners whacked around lists of appointees to several advisory boards and panels. At the end of the worksession match, the players and spectators were exhausted, their necks sore from following the conflicting balls lobbed back and forth, and some names on political enemies lists were ground into the clay of the court while others got dusted off and put back into play. [UPDATE: But the morning match was upset after the team’s coaches, Del. Michael Smigiel and Sen. E.J. Pipkin (R-36)—who met with county commissioners on their 2012 legislative agenda in the afternoon— read the riot act to their three allies on the Commissioners board and demanded a do-over that would punish their political enemies, sources said. So at the evening meeting, the three-member majority complied and mopped up the court with their foes.] [As a result, Carl Roberts, Joyce Bowlsbey and Gary Stewart&#8211; who had been cleared for re-appointment to the Economic Development Commission at the morning worksession&#8211; were booted off the panel Tuesday evening.] Roberts, the former county schools superintendent who was an unsuccessful candidate in 2010 against Commissioner Diana Broomell (R-4), was also ousted from [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Poll on Same-Sex Marriage: What’s the Question? Opponents of the bill to legalize same-sex marriage in Maryland recently commissioned a poll which they claim shows a significant majority of voters oppose legalization. But the questions they say were asked are not the same questions that this reporter was asked when a pollster said to be representing the same organization called our home phone. The National Organization for Marriage states its poll of 600 registered voters found that respondents opposed legalization by a margin of 54-37. The group also states that 78 percent of respondents wanted voters, not the General Assembly, to decide the issue. (See NOM’s press release with details of its poll here: https://www.scribd.com/doc/49058222/Maryland-Poll-FINAL-02-17-11 The yes-or-no questions we were asked were different from the more open-ended questions listed on the press release that would have elicited what’s called in the polling world “volunteered” answers. Anyone who has spent time dealing with polls—as we did in our previous life supervising poll reporting for the Baltimore Sun—knows that how you ask a question can influence the outcome. In its statement, NOM and its pollster say that those surveyed were asked, “As far as you personally are concerned, should marriage be between [&#8230;]]]></description>
