		<description><![CDATA[A Cecil Times SPECIAL REPORT A Delaware group associated with Mindy Carletti, a Perryville veterinarian who almost single-handedly wrote the county’s new animal control ordinance, began its $2.25 million animal control contract with Cecil County with an open house at its animal-less ‘shelter’ on Appleton Road Wednesday. Virtually all the staff of the operation have ties to Carletti, who personally fronted a $40,000 letter of credit for the group to qualify it to bid, according to documents obtained by Cecil Times. Other documents indicate that the outgoing Board of County Commissioners, in its final moments of existence before the shift to Charter government, suddenly doubled the duration of the contract with the Delaware group, A Buddy for Life, Inc., to three years—precisely the time frame of the group’s lease on the Appleton Road property, thus ensuring the group would not have to pay an unreimbursed $45,000 to its landlord. The Buddy group has no experience supervising employees and has never had its own shelter or handled animal control for local government. Carletti was identified as the “staff veterinarian” for animal control by the Buddy group during a press conference held Wednesday at the group’s leased building at 1750 Appleton Road [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The state’s highest court ruled Tuesday that the Cecil County Commissioners had the legal right to sell water and sewage treatment plants to the private Artesian firm, ending a nearly three year legal battle that cost county taxpayers over $203,000 in legal expenses and up to $1 million in total costs. The protracted legal battle was initiated by the Appleton Regional Community Alliance, ARCA, an anti-growth group based in the northeastern area of the county near the Delaware state line. Apart from the substantive ruling in favor of the county, perhaps the most important fine-print of the Court’s decision was its brief directive that the “appellants”—ARCA—must “pay the costs” of the appeal. County Budget Director Craig Whiteford has previously calculated that the total legal bills to the county to defend itself against the ARCA lawsuit on Artesian amounted to about $203,543. The costs of the Circuit Court legal fight are estimated at $150,000 while the appeal costs account for the balance. Thus, the county could take action to try to collect about $53,543 from ARCA. (See previous Cecil Times report here: https://ceciltimes.com/2011/06/arca-lawsuits-cost-county-citizens-up-to-1million-and-counting-on-artesian-sale/ Joseph A. DiNunzio, executive vice president and secretary of Artesian, told Cecil Times Tuesday that the company was [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A divided Cecil County Board of Commissioners Tuesday appointed Owen Thorne, a failed candidate for county commissioner and a vocal opponent of development and infrastructure proposals in the northern county—to the county Planning Commission. The 3-2 decision followed the increasingly usual pattern of Commissioners James Mullin (R-1), Diana Broomell (R-4) and Michael Dunn (R-3) joining together to approve the appointment while Commissioners Robert Hodge (R-5) and Tari Moore (R-2) opposed. Thorne is a longtime manager of a record and music store in Newark, DE and for the past few years has been employed at the New Castle County (DE) public library, according to his “Linked In” social media page. Thorne also ran unsuccessfully for County Commissioner in 2006, coming in second to Brian Lockhart in the Democratic primary and a few votes ahead of Joe Janusz in that contest. The seat on the Planning Commission to which Thorne was appointed was vacated by Janusz. Janusz was considered a moderate on planning issues who was not afraid to cast a few controversial votes, based on the issues and individual circumstances, while overall supporting a slow-growth agenda. Thorne has staked out a firm anti-growth agenda, participating in lawsuits against the county on [&#8230;]]]></description>
