		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES Special Report Cecil County Councilor Jackie Gregory (R-5) delivered an impassioned defense Tuesday of her paid job as a substitute teacher in county schools while voting on budgets including education as a member of the Council, saying a state Attorney General opinion in a Carroll County case supported her dual roles. However, Cecil County’s Charter and Ethics Code specifically bar Council members or public officials from working for any other “department” that receives county funds. The Attorney General’s opinion Gregory cited held there was no “incompatibility” under state law between a Carroll County Commissioner holding that post while also working as a part-time teacher for county schools. However, the opinion specified it was only reviewing state law and refused to address county laws or ethics codes, which the AG said were up to local authorities to interpret and enforce. During the Council members’ comment period at the end of the 11/5/2019 morning worksession, Gregory announced that she wanted to address an issue that has been brewing “behind the scenes” and to contradict anyone “suggesting that I’ve been engaged in wrongdoing.” She said she was raising the issue of her schools job in public in the interests of [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Steve Arentz, president of the Queen Anne’s County Board of Commissioners, has won the endorsement of Republican party committees in three of the four counties of the 36th District to fill a vacant state Delegate seat. As a result, his appointment is all but assured under the state Constitution, even before Cecil County Republicans discuss the matter next week. And issues raised about Arentz’ past campaign finance reports have been resolved with amended reports filed in the past few months with approval of state elections officials, to correct problems created by a former campaign treasurer, Arentz and independent sources said. The vacancy in the House of Delegates seat was created when Del. Steve Hershey (R-Queen Anne’s County) was appointed to fill a vacant state Senate seat to replace E.J. Pipkin, who resigned several months ago to move to Texas. The appointment process to fill the Senate seat was full of rancor, as Cecil County Del. Michael Smigiel (R) railed against local GOP panels and claimed that “outside forces” were out to get him and deprive him of the Senate appointment. Republican Central Committees in the four counties of the district—Cecil, Kent, Caroline and Queen Anne’s—deadlocked, 2-2, between Hershey and Smigiel [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Commissioners could have used a veterinarian to administer tranquilizers Tuesday as they bared their claws, yet again, over revisions to the county’s new animal ordinance, how many ‘experts’ should dance on the head of a panel reviewing the lone remaining bidder for animal control services, and conflicting concerns over horses. And just when you thought one Old Gray Mare issue had been put out to pasture—a mandate for “health certificates” for animals such as dogs and horses crossing state lines to visit or attend events in Cecil County—Commissioner Diana Broomell (R-4) on Tuesday proposed putting the contentious certificates matter back into the new ordinance, which took effect on 10/1/12. It had been removed previously when citizens protested at a public hearing that putting the certificates into the county ordinance imposed an undue and unenforceable local burden that was best left to state laws covering transport of livestock and horses across state lines. In another revelation, Broomell and Commissioner James Mullin (R-1) claimed Tuesday that they did not read the text of the animal ordinance before they voted on it in August. The Three Amigos majority of the commissioners, including Broomell, Mullin and Michael Dunn (R-3) voted for [&#8230;]]]></description>
