		<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![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy has withdrawn his proposed major increase in sewer user fees as part of his Fiscal 2019 budget, saying he wants to review alternative rate structures to give small users a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 But his appearance and the meeting agenda item were cancelled, after McCarthy ordered the rate increase proposal withdrawn on Monday.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>
