		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Never say never in Cecil County government and politics. But sometimes it’s politically wise to say “maybe.” After months of resistance by colleagues to a demand by County Commissioner/Councilor Diana Broomell (R-4) to hire a County Council “auditor” to investigate spending and operations of the new County Executive, suddenly the position surfaced as a budget priority on Tuesday. During discussion at a Council budget “workshop,” it was disclosed for the first time that the County Council proposed inclusion in its budget of a “Council auditor” position. Broomell has insisted that such a position is needed as an independent watchdog on the County Executive and to provide “checks and balances” between the two branches of county government under the new Charter system. But the budget proposal and political reality might not be the same thing. Under the speeded-up budget process under Charter this year, County Executive Tari Moore obtained spending proposals from the new Council for its own operations and included them in her overall budget proposal unveiled earlier this month. Individual Council members also submitted their suggestions for the spending plan for council operations, sources said. “That’s a courtesy I extended to them,” Moore told Cecil Times, explaining [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[News Analysis It was almost like watching the Elkton version of “Sunset Boulevard” &#8212; the classic movie in which forgotten silent film star Norma Desmond pathetically declares, “Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up”&#8211; when the new Cecil County Council held its last formal session of the year Tuesday. Deadlocked again, the Council abdicated its role in filling a vacant District 2 seat and as a result, new County Executive Tari Moore will get to pick her own successor on the Council. Moore also stepped into the breech of a previous deadlock, when she was still a member of the old board of County Commissioners, over selection of a land preservation map mandated by the state. So she took action administratively to send to Annapolis a less-restrictive “tier” map (Map 10) that only includes lands already in preservation, such as parkland or farms that owners have voluntarily enrolled in farmland protection programs. If the county had not submitted its own map by 12/31/12, the state could have imposed a much more restrictive map on county land. “This map protects the property rights of our landowners, as well as the property rights of those with development currently going through the approval [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County’s transition to Charter government got off to a mixed start, with the new County Council in a 2-2- standoff on even basic matters while County Executive Tari Moore moved ahead with assembling her top staff. Multiple sources said Wednesday that Moore had selected Winston Robinson, a Democratic candidate for county executive who came in last in a three-way party primary earlier this year, as the new finance director for the county. That post would replace the previous independently-elected Treasurer under the commissioner’s form of government&#8211; a position held by Bill Feehley, a Republican, who narrowly defeated three-term Democrat Pam Howard in the 2010 election. Moore interviewed a half-dozen candidates for the position, including Feehley, Howard, and current county budget director Craig Whiteford, sources said. Howard was the Democratic nominee for county executive this year but lost to Moore by about 5 percentage points in the November election. Robinson has been the senior finance official for the City of Wilmington, DE for several years but he is a resident of Cecil County and previously worked at the Cecil County Treasurer’s office under Howard. He had no political experience or exposure until his low-budget, low-key run for county executive this [&#8230;]]]></description>
