		<description><![CDATA[Recent meetings of the Cecil County Council have looked and sounded like school kids in a cafeteria food fight but Council President Robert Hodge (R-5) is looking to impose new discipline on councilors, including possible mandatory ‘time outs.’ “Our behavior makes a difference,” Hodge said at the 9/10/13 Council worksession in Elkton. In particular, the uproar at the previous worksession was “an embarrassment for the County Council.” At that meeting, Councilor Alan McCarthy (R-1) called out Councilor Diana Broomell (R-4) over what he said was her repeated “venomous” attacks on fellow members of the Council. But Hodge also joined in to respond in strong terms to months of personal attacks on him by Broomell.

But he did note that Councilor Michael Dunn (R-5) had refrained from the recent spate of negative attacks. Dunn usually sits in silence at most Council meetings. (But early in the year he read from written notes to attack Hodge and County Executive Tari Moore with unsubstantiated accusations that they were in cahoots with various special [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps Cecil County Councilor Diana Broomell (R-4) had indigestion or was feeling wounded by the pointed fork jabs she had just received from fellow Councilor Alan McCarthy (R-1) when she hurried out of a Council worksession Tuesday, and refused to eat a slice of the cake that had been brought in to celebrate the recent birthday of Councilor Joyce Bowlsbey (R-2). “You are a very low person,” McCarthy told Broomell. “Your selfish, venomous desires” to attack other members of the Council, he told her, were in fact harming the county as a whole and would prevent “successful” people from ever wanting to run for office or serve as volunteers on county advisory boards. And, he added, Broomell’s frequent claims that she is an advocate of “transparency” were false: “This is not a transparent woman, nor is she an honest woman.” In addition, McCarthy said, Broomell “does not play fair; you hit them below the belt.” For the first time in recent memory, Broomell’s rhetorical candles were blown out.
