		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS If there is Karma in politics, Del. Kevin Hornberger (R-35B) is facing it: so confident of a re-election victory in a three-way race, he devoted much effort and political cash to promote allies of his wife, Cecil County Executive Danielle Hornberger, for the County Council in Tuesday’s Republican primary election. But he apparently failed to see the very real threat to his own legislative seat. And the chief target of the Hornbergers’ avalanche of glossy, negative and untrue flyers, incumbent Councilor Al Miller (R-3), is just five votes behind their own protégé, Bob Gatchell, an actor with a repertoire of cross-dressing drag show performances and a political newcomer. There are at least 1,026 Republican ballots still to be counted in a canvass of dropbox and mailed ballots that begins on Thursday 7/21/2022, according to state Board of Elections (BOE) data for Cecil County. Additional mail-in ballots may be received before a second canvass next week. It remains to be seen if Kevin Hornberger can hang on to or expand his small 43-vote margin of victory over Adam Streight, a county Sheriff’s Deputy and former president of the FOP Lodge 2 police union. In early voting and Election Day [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Jackie Gregory (R-5), the vice president of the Cecil County Council, must have an acute case of insomnia, posting social media attacks on some of her fellow councilors and perceived political foes at all hours of the night. And when the sun comes up, she stars in glossy promotional mailers declaring she has a “need” for her preferred “slate” of candidates to sit with her on the Council. What she isn’t saying is that the “Cecil Conservative Slate” of political newcomer candidates she is promoting is largely financed by out-of-county developers and financial transfers from Del. Kevin Hornberger (R-35B), a large donor to her own campaigns and the spouse of county executive Danielle Hornberger (R), a close ally of Gregory. And she isn’t saying why her “slate” is particularly focused on attacking Councilor Al Miller (R-3), who is up for re-election this year, with flyers attacking him personally with false claims. One flyer shows pictures of her three preferred candidates but inexplicably declares that Miller is “our opponent.” The official Republican primary election ballot lists only one candidate running against Miller: Bob Gatchel, an actor who appeared in drag wearing female clothing and a bouffant red wig in [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County Council member George Patchell (R-4), a two-term elected official from Perryville and a consistently thoughtful and nonpartisan voice on many local issues, is resigning from the panel to take a job as the Perryville town administrator. His departure will set off a potentially politically fraught process, led by the local Republican Central Committee to nominate three names for his replacement and a vote by the remaining four Council members to fill the seat. Patchell submitted a letter of resignation on Friday (9/17/2021) but he delayed the effective date for a month, until 10/17/2021. That time frame will still give him a voice in a number of major issues pending before the Council, including solar farm legislation. All five current members of the Council are Republicans, and Patchell told CECIL TIMES that he will retain his GOP party affiliation as he heads out the Council door—a step that sets a major role for the Republican Central Committee, which is dominated by non-elected partisans aligned with County Executive Danielle Hornberger, her husband, Del. Kevin Hornberger (R-35), and Vincent Sammons. Sammons is a conservative political gadfly who stacked the committee with appointed allies after most of the GOP primary-elected [&#8230;]]]></description>
