		<description><![CDATA[Early voting in Cecil County, a week-long opportunity for local voters to cast ballots in advance of the Tuesday 4/26/16 formal primary election day, drew 5.1 percent of eligible voters to cast ballots, with Republicans casting 469 more ballots than Democrats despite the GOP’s larger voter registration advantage, according to state Board of Elections data. As the Maryland campaigns for national, state and local candidates entered their final hours, the local race for Cecil County Executive took a negative turn not seen here since the 2012 elections when the “Smipkins” political machine—owned and operated by former state Del. Michael Smigiel and Sen. E.J. Pipkin, both R-36—distributed direct mail flyers with sharp personal attacks on local candidates. This year, the negative personal attacks have come in several last-minute flyers and a robocall initiated by County Council member Dan Schneckenberger (R-3) to attack County Council Vice President Alan McCarthy (R-1), a rival in the Republican primary election. The state Board of Elections reported that early voting turnout in Cecil County totaled 3,262 voters, or 5.15 percent of “active eligible” registered voters. For Republicans, early voter turnout totaled 1,837, or about 7 percent of the local GOP electorate. For Democrats, early voter turnout [&#8230;]]]></description>

Andy Harris (R-1) had his staff-provided white rubber boots to guard against the flailing catfish that waterman Jimmy Kline harvests every day from an ingenius system of traps. “I got 1,500 pounds of catfish this morning,” Kline told the congressman, who is on a whirlwind tour of his mostly Eastern Shore district while Congress is in its summer recess. Harris has been going on a lot of boats lately in his largely water-based district, working crab trotlines with his son earlier in the week on the lower Shore, as he talks to watermen about the problems they face. Harris is a member of the House Natural Resources Committee, which oversees water and fishery issues. Kline told a fascinating story of a waterman’s ingenuity, telling Harris how he harvests live catfish every day and delivers them to ‘buyers’ who in turn place the live fish in oxygenated tanks for re-sale to markets and to state agencies looking to re-populate streams and rivers with live catfish. And, in an intriguing measure of entrepeneurship, Kline said he drives his own refrigerated truck up to the Mott [&#8230;]]]></description>
