		<description><![CDATA[Jackie Gregory, a former teacher and a leader of the Cecil County Patriots’ tea party group, announced Tuesday that she will run in the Republican primary for the County Council in District 5, a seat currently held by County Council President Robert Hodge, also a Republican. “We need local representatives with strong conservative values, common sense, and a commitment to building a community that is a welcoming environment for both families and businesses. It is vital that local leaders cultivate an economic climate where local businesses can grow and individuals have opportunities to thrive economically. Local representatives must also protect Constitutional rights,” Gregory said in announcing her candidacy. Gregory, a mother of three children and a former teacher, was often a fixture at county government meetings and active on social media with observations about Cecil County government and federal Constitutional issues in the past few years, although her public profile has been less visible for the past year or so. But her public comments usually reflected substantive research and thoughtful analysis, while avoiding the name-calling and partisan attacks that often characterize online political discussions.

At the Council’s Tuesday morning worksession, a revised version of previously proposed steps to enforce standards of proper behavior among members of the County Council was denounced by Councilor Alan McCarthy (R-1) as “watered down to the point of being useless.” His objections were to proposed revisions, drafted by Councilor Diana Broomell (R-4), that emphasized sanctions that should be imposed on members of the audience at Council meetings, rather than provisions previously proposed that mirrored the standard “Roberts Rules of Order” that empower the presiding officer—usually, the Council President—to impose order and gavel offending Councilors to silence, an apology, or in the extreme, banishment from a meeting. So McCarthy made a motion to simply scrap detailed and escalating levels of sanctions and instead use the Roberts Rules provisions that would empower the presiding [&#8230;]]]></description>
