		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Council interviewed the five nominees from County Executive Danielle Hornberger to take over the county’s Ethics Commission at a Tuesday (2/9/2021) worksession, with members posing questions that mostly tiptoed around some of the key questions surrounding Hornberger’s decisions—and actions that could be a template for future wholesale removal of other county board memberships. The biggest unanswered question in the room was whether Andrew Goins, an associate pastor at Pleasant View Baptist Church, could set aside his church’s strong anti-LGBTQ and anti-gay marriage views to decide cases that might involve LGBTQ community members fairly and without bias. And there was also an unanswered question about how another nominee, a supposed Democrat, would consider potentially partisan matters. Apparently unknown to most Council members at the time, one nominee—Heather O’Rourke—only registered as a Democrat days before she was picked by Hornberger for the ethics panel. During her discussion with the Council, she repeatedly emphasized that her status as a Democrat would give her ‘independence’ and said she was experienced in standing up to people of other political views. County law requires that all members of the five-member ethics panel must be registered county voters and the panel may have “no [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County’s animal control oversight panel that monitors a private contractor, handling stray animals at taxpayer expense, has lost two members who resigned recently after what some say was “bullying” by the contractor, A Buddy for Life, Inc. And after a meeting last week, Girl Scouts who had questioned the shelter operations say they suffered racially-tinged remarks telling Black children to “go back to Baltimore.” At the same time, Cecil County Executive Tari Moore and her administration have stood by the Buddies group and current control of the Animal Care and Control Oversight Commission (ACCOC) by pro-Buddies allies. Moore has also indicated in her budget that she is not looking for cost-savings in animal control operations even though the Buddies’ contract expires mid-budget year. At a meeting last week, several Girl Scouts from nearby Delaware attended the session as part of their efforts to learn about and attend government meetings. Three of the young girls spoke, in child-like voices that could barely be heard on the official audiotape of the meeting, for a minute or less each to urge humane treatment of the animals at the taxpayer-supported Buddies shelter located at a rented kennel in Elkton.
