		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced new transportation aid, including $845 million in new roadwork for counties around the state, on Thursday—but Cecil County was not on the aid list. The no-thanks gesture comes at a time when local business leaders are scheduled to hold a fundraiser for Hogan’s future re-election campaign next week, the first event of its kind. Hogan also announced that he would support a scaled-back state share of aid to the controversial “Purple” light rail line linking Montgomery County and Prince George’s County—a key decision that had been heavily lobbied for by both counties and area business leaders. But it remains to be seen if Hogan’s proposed state aid of $168 million, requiring more money from the counties and private business partners involved in the project, is sufficient to keep the project on track. In the no-good-deed-goes-unpunished litany of Cecil County’s dealings with Annapolis, many other counties on the Eastern Shore and in Western Maryland—where Hogan racked up overwhelming voter support in last year’s election—were given millions in new road aid for their top local transportation priorities.

		<description><![CDATA[ELKTON&#8211;State transportation officials converged on Elkton on Tuesday 9/30/14 to outline state spending priorities in Cecil County, as Transportation Secretary Jim Smith boasted of multi-agency meetings to pressure for quick approval of an environmental permit to allow resumed shipping channel dredge spoil dumping at an Earleville site that has polluted local residents’ drinking water wells. “We’re setting deadlines,” Smith said, for a decision by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) on issuing a permit for renewed dumping at the Earleville site. He said there would be “an announcement by November 21.” However, by state law, MDE has one year from the 7/1/14 date on which the US Army Corps of Engineers formally filed its application for a state water quality certification that is needed before shipping channel dredge spoils could be dumped at the Earleville site. (Dumping at the Pearce Creek site in Earleville was barred over 20 years ago by MDE due to concerns over pollution of area aquifers that serve residential water wells. An independent federal study by the US Geological Survey issued in January, 2013, confirmed that the Corps dumpsite had polluted aquifers and local residents’ water supply, including concentrations of arsenic and multiple other toxic [&#8230;]]]></description>
