		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES Special Report Redevelopment of the sprawling 1,185-acre Bainbridge site in Port Deposit, stalled for two decades by environmental and logistical problems, was celebrated by Gov. Hogan recently as a flag was raised on the first of three stages of the project that he praised as a model of economic development. But a last-minute provision secretly inserted into a parks bill by Del. Kevin Hornberger (R-35) could complicate or derail the next phase of the economic revitalization plan and, state legislative analysts say, jeopardize anticipated revenues to Cecil County and the town of Port Deposit. In addition, the long wished-for re-use of the historic Tome School property—devastated by arsonists and looters over the years—is also in jeopardy under provisions that could prevent private re-development of that 50-acre portion of the Bainbridge site through historic preservation tax credits to save the classic façade of the school—which state historical reviewers have determined is the only salvageable part of the school. And there is no assurance in the secret plan that the state would come up with the taxpayer-provided money that would be needed to salvage Tome as part of a state park. Hornberger did not consult in advance with many [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Faced with limited options, the Cecil County Council took a path of subtle resistance this week when it picked the least politically challenging candidate to fill a vacant Council seat that will be on the ballot in next year’s elections. The Council also welcomed a redistricting commission report that rejected some highly partisan maps that could have pitted incumbent councilors against each other in districts that looked like a plate of spaghetti. The Council voted 3-0 to install Donna Culberson, of Conowingo, in the District 4 seat previously held by George Patchell, who was mid-way in his second term on the Council but recently resigned to take the job of Perryville town administrator. Absent from both the afternoon worksession and evening legislative meeting of the Council on Tuesday (11/16/2021) was Jackie Gregory (R-5), the chief Council cheerleader for County Executive Danielle Hornberger. In picking Culberson, the Council was drawing from a list of three candidates submitted by the county’s Republican Central Committee, which under the county Charter had the authority to select the nominees because Patchell was a Republican. If the council had rejected or deadlocked on the candidates, then the County Executive would have had the power [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS It took a last minute impassioned appeal on Tuesday by Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy to defend his budget and his track record on improving the county’s economy, and an independent consultant’s endorsement of McCarthy’s budget, to deflate a belated effort by one Council member to trim a few budget items. As a result, the proposed Fiscal 2019 budget appears headed to intact approval by the County Council next week. The new budget, which takes effect on July 1, would be the second McCarthy proposal to emerge from the Council unscathed. But the current Fiscal 2018 budget, which contained property and income tax increases, was a much more controversial plan and only became law because a majority of the Council could not agree on any budget alternative. Under the county Charter, if the Council does not pass its own budget, the Executive’s proposal is automatically adopted. In contrast, the new budget is much less controversial, since it contains no new tax hikes, and addresses a wide range of county priorities, from negotiated pay boosts for law enforcement and emergency services personnel to initial stages of construction on a new library and library administrative offices in North East.
