		<description><![CDATA[William C. Manlove narrowly retained his seat on the Cecil County Board of Education, according to final vote counts, and he slightly widened his election night winning margin over challenger Kevin Emmerich. Although the contest was officially non-partisan, the closeness of the race indicated there was spillover from the national political climate. Manlove, a former County Commissioner and an Earleville Democrat, defeated Emmerich, a Republican, by a final vote of 18,756 (51 percent) for Manlove to 17,756 (48.3 percent) for his challenger. The election night tally was 17,832 (51 percent) for Manlove, to 16,892 (48.3 percent) for Emmerich. During two rounds of absentee ballot counts plus a provisional ballot tally, Manlove easily retained his frontrunner status and expanded his final vote margin of victory. The final tally was not unexpected, since the number of absentee ballots distributed before the election was about evenly divided between Democrats and Republican&#8211; unlike past years when local GOP backers waged active campaigns to sign up their voters for absentee ballots and got a much stronger absentee tally. &#8211; But overall, the School Board race was much closer than had been expected, as conservatives rallied around Emmerich, a Republican and member of his party’s Central [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Lou Peck Contributing Editor, Cecil Times/ National Journal Despite a seven-figure financial effort by national Democrats to rescue him, freshman Rep. Frank Kratovil went down to defeat Tuesday in a rematch of his 2008 contest against GOP state Sen. Andy Harris. With more than 90 percent of the vote counted late Tuesday, Harris held a 54-42 percent lead over Kratovil, for a margin of more than 30,000 votes. In 2008, Kratovil &#8212; then the state’s attorney in Queen Anne’s County &#8212; defeated Harris by fewer than 3,000 votes out of more than 360,000 cast. He became the first Democrat to win the district – which includes the entire Eastern Shore along with portions of Baltimore, Harford and Anne Arundel counties on the Western Shore – in two decades. Kratovil’s 2008 victory came despite the fact that Republican presidential nominee John McCain captured the district by a 59-40 percent margin over President Obama. But Kratovil triumphed by capturing every county on the Eastern Shore. It was a very different story Tuesday: A partial breakdown of Eastern Shore counties showed two of the most populous going to Harris. The Republican won Cecil County by a 55-40 percent margin, and took Kratovil’s [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   The federal government has dropped its plan to build a State Department security training center on farmland in Queen Anne&#8217;s County, after intense local opposition from environmentalists and community activists. The decision was announced Monday in a letter to Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-MD.    The decision removes what could have been a potent election year issue in the 1st Congressional District, where incumbent Democrat Frank Kratovil had lobbied to get the project for his home county as an economic development boost that would have created an estimated 400 permanent jobs. But Kratovil and other elected officials, including Mikulski and the Queen Anne&#8217;s County Commissioners, backed away from the project after community opposition surfaced.     The pullback from Queen Anne&#8217;s County could create a jobs opportunity for the Harford/Cecil County area, in conjunction with the ongoing BRAC expansion of Aberdeen Proving Ground operations.  The federal government already owns the Aberdeen facility, and the nature of the State Department security training would mesh closely with the weapons testing already conducted at Aberdeen.      Much of the local opposition in Queen Anne&#8217;s County centered on environmental concerns, including noise from weapons training that would impact neighboring farms in the Ruthsburg area.
