		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Low voter turnout, a confusing state election schedule that pushed the primary election to the dog days of summer, and secret campaign money that financed a slew of negative and juvenile, cartoonish glossy flyers combined to make the recently concluded local election the nastiest since the infamous nose-biting incident at the polls not that many years ago. But the chief target of this year’s attacks, County Councilor Al Miller (R-3) survived, with 51.5 percent of the vote, and did so while walking the high road&#8211; without resorting to the sort of cheap shots orchestrated and financed by Del. Kevin Hornberger (R-35B). Kevin Hornberger assembled a “slate” of candidates trying to take over the Council to create a compliant majority to support his wife, Danielle Hornberger, the county executive whose $98,000 a year salary will be on the line in the 2024 election. Danielle Hornberger will still get a majority on the Council that will be sworn into office in December, but there will still be two independent voices—Miller and, depending on the issue, current Council President Bob Meffley (R-1). But it remains to be seen if Hornberger’s chief ally and advocate&#8211;Jackie Gregory (R-5), the current vice president of [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In what has become a sad annual ritual, Cecil County Sheriff Scott Adams pleaded with the County Council this week on behalf of his office’s budget while wearing a mourning band around his badge in honor of a Delaware state trooper murdered a few days ago just a short distance over the Cecil County line. Last year, local deputies were mourning the murder of two deputies in adjacent Harford County, as Adams urged local budget support for his agency.* But Adams said during his Tuesday (5/2/2017) appearance before the County Council that it was “not the time to be sad,” but instead to renew commitments to serving the public. He said he was “grateful” to County Executive Alan McCarthy for authorizing a budget proposal that would increase the number of deputies slightly and approve pay boosts and salary modifications that could help address a longstanding problem: recruiting and retaining officers both for law enforcement and running the county detention center. Escalating numbers of violent acts against law enforcement officers nationwide, as well as the murder of a corrections officer in Delaware recently, make it that much harder to recruit and keep qualified officers, Adams said. Adams is asking the County [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dr. Alan McCarthy, the vice president of the Cecil County Council, a veterinarian and local businessman, announced on Monday that he will be a candidate for Cecil County Executive. The Republican is the first candidate to formally announce a run for the county’s top elected post but several other potential challengers are also considering entering the race. McCarthy, who lives in Chesapeake City, emphasized economic development and job creation as key priorities for the county’s future. And he pledged to provide needed funds for “law enforcement and public safety,” while reviewing county government spending and operations to make sure taxpayers get “the biggest bang for the buck.” The county executive’s position is being vacated by Tari Moore, a Republican, who announced recently that she would not be a candidate for re-election in 2016. McCarthy was first elected to the Council in 2012, after defeating the District 1 Republican, James Mullin, a member of the old “Three Amigos” bloc that ruled the old Board of Commissioners under the direction of the former “Smipkin” political organization then headed by Del. Michael Smigiel and state Sen. E.J. Pipkin. Despite the Smipkins’ political muscle and larders of campaign funds, McCarthy scored a resounding defeat [&#8230;]]]></description>
