		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS As in-person early voting in the General Election began on Thursday (10/27/2022), Cecil County voters will decide five local Charter amendments, including changes in selection of Ethics Commission members and requiring greater “transparency” on spending and real estate deals by the County Executive. The proposals are designed to address problems that emerged in the first two years of Danielle Hornberger’s administration. In addition, a proposed amendment to the State Constitution (Question 2) would require a state Delegate or Senator to “maintain” residency withing the boundaries of the district from which he/she was elected. Delegate Kevin Hornberger, Danielle’s husband, lived outside the boundaries of his former District 35-A, according to state land records, financial disclosure statements and sworn mortgage refinancing documents. He got away with using his parents’ address for years because no one challenged his residency within the limited less than two-week window for challenges to the State Board of Elections after a candidate files for office. Currently, the state Constitution only specifies a requirement for district residency at the time of filing but is silent on maintaining residency after an election and for the duration of the four-year Delegate term. A ‘yes’ vote on this state question [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Faced with limited options, the Cecil County Council took a path of subtle resistance this week when it picked the least politically challenging candidate to fill a vacant Council seat that will be on the ballot in next year’s elections. The Council also welcomed a redistricting commission report that rejected some highly partisan maps that could have pitted incumbent councilors against each other in districts that looked like a plate of spaghetti. The Council voted 3-0 to install Donna Culberson, of Conowingo, in the District 4 seat previously held by George Patchell, who was mid-way in his second term on the Council but recently resigned to take the job of Perryville town administrator. Absent from both the afternoon worksession and evening legislative meeting of the Council on Tuesday (11/16/2021) was Jackie Gregory (R-5), the chief Council cheerleader for County Executive Danielle Hornberger. In picking Culberson, the Council was drawing from a list of three candidates submitted by the county’s Republican Central Committee, which under the county Charter had the authority to select the nominees because Patchell was a Republican. If the council had rejected or deadlocked on the candidates, then the County Executive would have had the power [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County’s criminal element costs taxpayers a lot of money, from the harm they inflict on the community by their crimes to the costs of bringing them to justice in court and incarcerating them. But now 179 of our least productive citizens have done us a small favor: a slight boost in the county’s population under revised census figures. But statewide, the criminals could have an impact on redistricting for Congress and state legislative seats. The criminals don’t even live here any more. They are incarcerated in state prisons located in other counties. But because they lived here before being locked up, they have been added to our local population under a 2010 state law. The “No Representation without Population Act” required that the state re-calculate the official US census data, for the purpose of redistricting for congressional and state legislative districts, to apportion state prison inmates to their home counties. In the past, Washington, Allegany and Somerset counties have had large artificial boosts in census population figures because inmates at state prisons located in those counties were counted as residents. Now, Cecil County’s official population is listed as 101,287, up 179 from the initial Census report of 101,108. (See [&#8230;]]]></description>
