		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Gov. Larry Hogan and Exelon announced on Monday (10/29/2019) a settlement of a longstanding feud over federal licensing for continued operations of the Conowingo Dam in Cecil County, with $200 million invested over 50 years in the Susquehanna River and Upper Bay areas for water quality improvements. But the deal, which will clear the way for issuing a new license for the dam, does little if anything to remove the huge stockpile of leaking sediment behind the dam that has contributed to major pollution of the upper Chesapeake Bay. The agreement, hashed out after several years of intermittent feuding between the state and Exelon Generation Company, the dam’s owner, is good news for eels that will be able to slither through the dam to the Susquehanna River with greater ease. And a whole new population of mussels will be dancing in their shells in a new mussel hatchery that will be created on Exelon-owned land along the Susquehanna. The new $25 million mussel project, including land value, is expected to capitalize on the creatures’ water filtration abilities to help reduce existing water pollution. Gov. Hogan said the mussel project would include creation of a “state of the art” [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Jesse Colvin, a former US Army Ranger and the Democratic challenger in the Dist. 1 race for the US House, was polite and respectful, even as he delivered political body blows to his Republican opponent, incumbent Rep. Andy Harris during a candidates’ forum on a CECIL.TV delayed broadcast on the Internet. For his part, Harris was often dismissive, repeatedly calling his opponent by his first name—even as Colvin called him Mr., Dr., or Congressman—and referring to Colvin as a “newcomer” to the District. (Colvin is a fourth-generation Marylander who grew up in Baltimore. Harris was born in Queens, NY.) For the first time since he wrestled the District 1 seat away from Democrat Frank Kratovil in 2010, Harris is facing a well-funded challenger who has been garnering bipartisan support, including some former top national Republican officials. There has also been a torrent of Letters to the Editor in local newspapers from pro-Colvin writers, while Harris’ supporters have largely been silent. Colvin has raised a total of $1,575,000 in donations to his campaign, although he had to spend a significant share to win the Democratic nomination in June in a crowded field. Colvin still had $750,877 cash-on-hand for the [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Maryland Governor Larry Hogan is convening a top-level task force to seek solutions to pollution of the Chesapeake Bay caused by sediment build-up behind the Conowingo Dam in Cecil County, including possible costly dredging. The governor’s action underscored the clout that the state has through its environmental review powers that could delay or block pending re-licensing of the dam by a federal agency. Hogan’s announcement on Thursday came as part of a three-day whirlwind tour of Harford, Cecil and Kent counties on the Upper Shore, a visit that saw him eating ice cream in Rising Sun, dining with county and town officials in Port Deposit, and presiding over a ribbon-cutting for an expansion of a high-tech mushroom farm in Warwick. He also mingled with donors at a political fundraiser in Charlestown for his expected re-election campaign in 2018. “We must address the sediment issue which has been ignored and left unresolved” for years, Hogan said, adding that his administration has been “working tirelessly” to find solutions to pollution of the Chesapeake Bay. But those efforts, he said, “could easily be wiped out by the effects of one really bad storm.” The Susquehanna River is the largest river feeding the Bay, [&#8230;]]]></description>
