		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS The newly hired director of the recently purchased Cecil County government-owned animal shelter made her first public appearance before a Cecil County Council budget workshop on Tuesday 5/17/16, displaying enthusiasm and energy&#8211; and practical naiveté&#8211; about operating an open-admissions, government-owned animal shelter and animal control program in a rural and lower-income county. Budget documents given to Council members, but not the public, gave a few more details of the planned program but still failed to account for major aspects of future operating costs. Abigail (Abbey) Lightning Bingham, the new animal shelter head who has been on the job in Cecil County for a little over a week, appeared at a Tuesday afternoon County Council budget worksession in tandem with her boss, David Trolio, the director of the newly-named Department of Community Services, formerly the county’s bus services and senior center operations. (Trolio has been expanding his program portfolio, and budget funding, significantly in the past few years under the administration of current County Executive Tari Moore.) Bingham, who has six months experience as “shelter supervisor” of the open-admissions government-owned animal care facility in Baltimore County, told the Cecil County Council that she wanted to create a welcoming environment [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore has selected Abigail Lightning Bingham as the Director of Animal Services that will operate the county’s recently purchased animal shelter as part of Moore’s plan to handle animal care and control with government employees, instead of non-profit humane organization contractors as in the past. Moore praised her choice as having a “wealth of knowledge and experience [that] will make her a key player in the development of our Animal Care and Control Division, and we are excited for this opportunity to positively influence policy and outcomes for Cecil County’s pet population. We recognize the important role animal care and safety plays in the lives of Cecil’s citizens, and look forward to providing transparency, accountability, and positive prevention and intervention programs in new and creative ways.” Moore is in the last seven months of her term as County Executive. Bingham will begin her new job here on May 9 and the government-operated animal care and control operations begin on July 1. Last week, the county closed on the sale of the former Cecil County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Inc. shelter in Chesapeake City. The county paid just $395,000 for the 12-acre property [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT NEWS ANALYSIS A majority of the Cecil County Council indicated support this week for county purchase of an existing private animal shelter facility, but some members reserved judgment on County Executive Tari Moore’s plan to create a fully government-operated program, with county worker payscales and benefits. But Moore refused to say how much total county operation of the program would cost. Many of her proposals fly in the face of financial facts about operations of animal control services in the state, including her claim that she can create a government-related non-profit charity to get grants and donors to subsidize the employment of government workers with county payscales and benefits. In fact, her proposals run counter to the trend of local governments increasingly moving to contract with private non-profit groups to operate government- owned shelter facilities to save taxpayer money. And Moore is putting most of the power to create and oversee her new untested animal services plan into the hands of one county employee whose experience and portfolio covers transit buses and a senior citizens exercise facility. Moore, who has conducted a secret and unilateral review of county animal control options for several years, finally [&#8230;]]]></description>
