		<description><![CDATA[Unlike national political debates in this election year that have often turned into rhetorical slugfests and personal attacks, a candidate’s forum for the four Republican candidates for Cecil County Executive was a mostly polite question and answer session, with candidates not engaging directly with one another. The most interesting moments came when some candidates had long pauses in their responses and one struggled to describe the programs and policies she would be in charge of if elected. The candidates’ forum, held at Cecil College on 2/27/2020, was hosted this year by the Cecil County Chamber of Commerce, the Cecil County Classroom Teachers Association, and BEPAC, the Business and Education Partnership Advisory Council&#8211; which consists of executives of major employers in the county that support education and job training efforts. In the past, the Chamber alone hosted county candidate forums. The moderator of the latest forum was Mike Ratchford, a Gore executive, chairman of the county’s Economic Development Commission and the Chamber’s government relations committee representative. Ratchford has served as moderator of past candidate forums and once again he was a calm, reasoned voice in posing questions to candidates and maintaining order and time limits on candidates’ responses..At the outset, he [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WILL SPACE ALIENS CAPTURE RISING SUN? Cecil County politics is known for the wild and weird, from the many misadventures of the “Three Amigos” on the County Commissioners board to a nose-biting incident at a polling place on election day. Just when you thought that, several years into Charter government, things had changed for the better, or at least become more sane, now we have an out-of-this-world conspiracy theory put forward on social media by a two-time election loser who still harbors dreams of a comeback in the next election. Space aliens from Elkton secretly harbor a dastardly scheme to kidnap the town of Rising Sun, suspend its charter and confiscate the whole town, to be consumed by the County Executive—no doubt seasoned with some salsa on the side. After all, the purveyor of this science fiction conspiracy, which he calls “a theory,” tried to stoke fears of illegal aliens invading the county in his two most recent losing campaigns for county office, even though federal and state census and planning data show no influx of foreign-born residents. But the census didn’t include SPACE ALIENS! So, his new “theory” must be true, or at least suitable for Facebook fantasies. The [&#8230;]]]></description>
