		<description><![CDATA[The COVID-19 virus pandemic escalated its destructive path on Thursday (4/2/2020) as the Maryland death toll doubled in two days and out-of-work state and local residents filed massive new claims for unemployment benefits. The state Health Department posted new figures on the number of confirmed cases Thursday morning, showing 2,331 Marylanders have tested positive for the virus and 36 people have died. On Tuesday, the death toll stood at 18, with 1,660 confirmed cases. The number of confirmed cases will no doubt rise significantly as the state, which was late to launch widescale testing, began drive-through testing programs on Wednesday at three Motor Vehicle emissions sites and FedEx field in Prince George’s County. In Cecil County, which recorded its first fatality linked to the virus earlier this week, county health officials reported early Thursday afternoon that the number of confirmed cases of the virus stood at 23. The state Health Department’s report, posted several hours earlier, listed Cecil’s figure as 20 cases. The statewide report generally lags local county figures by a day or more. Meanwhile, 84,230 Marylanders filed new unemployment claims last week, according to numbers released Thursday by Maryland’s Department of Labor&#8211; almost double the number of people [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy has withdrawn his proposed major increase in sewer user fees as part of his Fiscal 2019 budget, saying he wants to review alternative rate structures to give small users a break. But the action may signal a setback for McCarthy’s overall budget plans to end policies to tap emergency reserve funds to pay for day-to-day operations. The County Council had been slated to review the proposed rate increases in depth at its Tuesday (5/15/2018) worksession, with an appearance by county Director of Public Works Scott Flanigan. But his appearance and the meeting agenda item were cancelled, after McCarthy ordered the rate increase proposal withdrawn on Monday. McCarthy told Cecil Times on Tuesday that he withdrew his proposed rate increases so that county finance and public works officials could review the matter and perhaps come up with a more gradual rate increase and possible special rates for senior citizens and “small users” of sewage treatment services. “I want to see if we can come up with a more equitable way” to generate needed revenues to operate county sewage treatment facilities, he said. That review will take the sewage services rate increase off the table [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy reflected on his four months in office Thursday (3/30/2017) as a “hectic” but “educational experience,” with steps already taken to reorganize county government, re-order transportation priorities, and promote business development. But he warned that the county faces a fiscal “empty bag” due to stalled revenues, rising costs, state spending mandates and past county government policies. McCarthy spoke at an event sponsored by the Cecil Business Leaders for Better Government (CBL), a political action committee that supported his candidacy in the 2016 elections, at Schaefer’s in Chesapeake City. The gathering was billed as marking the new county executive’s first 100 days in office, but the timing was a bit off: McCarthy said his calendar pegged his tenure as 117 days, “but who’s counting?” The new county executive will unveil his first budget on Friday, for the 2018 Fiscal year, and without going into any financial details, McCarthy indicated that there would be difficult choices ahead. And he said he would not take the easy way out of past county leaders to raid emergency reserve funds to balance the budget. Key factors, he said, are the fact that the local economy and residents’ incomes are still recovering [&#8230;]]]></description>
