		<description><![CDATA[Governor Larry Hogan will rescind regulations that required installation of costly high-tech septic systems in most of Cecil County, and instead will only retain the requirements in the “critical areas,” close to the Chesapeake Bay and tidal rivers feeding the Bay. The action, which repeals a mandate created by former Governor Martin O’Malley, will lower costs for most new construction as well as homeowners seeking to build additions to existing homes in the county. Hogan announced his decision during a weekend meeting of the Maryland Association of Counties (MACO) in Ocean City, a gathering of most of the state’s county and local elected officials as well as lobbyists and members of the General Assembly. Since a 2009 law enacted by the General Assembly, properties located in the “Critical Area”&#8211; within 1,000 feet of the Chesapeake Bay or its “tidal tributaries”—have been required to install nitrogen-reducing “Best Available Technology” (BAT) septic systems for new homes or to replace facilities for existing homes that had failing septic systems.

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Councilor Joyce Bowlsbey (R-2) launched her election campaign on Monday, touring the county’s towns to hear first-hand the concerns of the municipalities and pledging to give local communities a voice in Elkton. Bowlsbey, who was appointed to her Council seat last year by County Executive Tari Moore, will be standing for election for the first time this year. Bowlsbey filled the vacancy created when Moore resigned her legislative seat to become the county’s first County Executive under Charter government.

Bowlsbey began her day-long trek south-of-the-Canal, visiting Cecilton and Chesapeake City. Residents of southern Cecil often complain that their concerns are ignored by county-wide politicians, who locals joke couldn’t find Earleville or Warwick even with a GPS device.
