		<description><![CDATA[COSTS OF LOCAL CHANGE, STATE CLOUT for CECIL The Cecil County Council is considering a proposed $157,000 budget amendment for severance pay costs to three ousted department heads under the new administration of Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy and to hire lobbyists in Annapolis to get the state government to pay more attention to the county’s economic development and transportation concerns. About $45,000 of the total is expected to cover the costs of one or two temporary lobbyists. At the Tuesday 12/20/16 County Council worksession, the panel discussed the proposal, and Council President Joyce Bowlsbey (R-2) noted that most of the requested funds were to cover the severance packages for the former department heads. Upon taking office in early December, McCarthy fired three department heads: Lisa Webb, the former economic development chief; Donna Nichols, human resources director; and Scott Mesneak, information technology chief for the county. Given that the firings were sudden (not to mention shortly before the holiday season) the county is offering transitional assistance, including some benefit costs required by state and federal laws.

		<description><![CDATA[Judge Keith Baynes Launches Campaign Fundraiser Season Cecil County Circuit Court Judge Keith Baynes (R), who won a surprise appointment to a vacant court seat late last December by Democratic Governor Martin O’Malley, launched the local campaign fundraiser season on Saturday with a bipartisan, well-attended pig roast at his Calvert home. Baynes has to defend the court seat in the 2012 election and he has created a campaign finance committee and a website, www.keepjudgebaynes.org to support his campaign. Baynes was a longtime assistant States’s Attorney prosecuting criminal cases and also a municipal lawyer practicing civil law on behalf of several towns in the county and the county Board of Appeals on zoning issues. The selection of the Republican Baynes by a Democratic governor for the vacant court seat was widely seen as recognition that Baynes is highly respected in the legal community without regard to party affiliation.
