		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County voters turned out in force for in-person voting on Tuesday (11/8/2022), but the final outcomes of multiple races will not be determined until the completion of the next week and a half of scheduled Board of Elections (BOE) counts of mail-in and provisional ballots. But initial counts in the District 4 school board contest indicate an upset win for Renee Dixon over incumbent William Malesh. In two County Council races with organized write-in vote campaigns, the mechanics of vote counting showed totals of all write-ins from in-person early voting and Election Day ballots but did not yet allocate any votes to the declared write-in candidates. (Ballot scanners automatically register marked ovals indicating a write-in vote was being cast, but a separate BOE staff review is required to allocate those votes to candidates who have formally qualified under election rules to be counted by name.) But the initial counts indicate that even when write in votes are eventually counted, the uphill challenges to winners of the Republican primary in Districts 2 and 4 are unlikely to succeed. Five amendments to the county Charter, mostly designed to address problems that have emerged during the first two years of Danielle Hornberger’s [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Phyllis Kilby, an eight-year veteran of the Cecil County Board of Commissioners and a leader in farm and civic groups, has filed with the Board of Elections (BOE) as a write-in candidate for the County Council seat now held by Donna Culberson (R-4), who was appointed to her seat last year and recently won the Republican nomination for the November general election. Kilby faces an uphill fight, since her name will not appear on the printed ballot presented to voters. Instead, she will have to convince voters to write-in her name on the correct line for the District 4 Council race. By filing her write-in candidacy with the BOE, with required financial disclosures and campaign committee documentation, her write-in votes will be counted by the Board of Elections. Write-in votes for people who have not gone through the paperwork hoops of the BOE are not counted. Kilby ran and won two terms for Commissioner as a Democrat, at a time when the Democrats held a majority party registration in the county, but Republicans currently hold a registration majority. Now, she is running as an “unaffiliated” or independent candidate, because, “I feel the problems facing our county require us all to [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County will have a new, non-local Health Officer with impressive educational credentials and experience in public health issues, taking over an agency that has struggled to address the drug crisis even as a new state report shows the county again has the second-worst opioid overdose death rate in Maryland. Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy has announced his selection of Lauren Levy, of Towson, as the new health officer, coming to the county from executive and research positions in public health with the University of Maryland School of Medicine and School of Law. She will replace Laurie Humphries, a veteran employee of the local Health Department, who has been the Acting Health Officer since Stephanie Garrity announced her retirement in mid-2018. Levy, who assumes her position later this month, will face the challenges highlighted in a new report issued by the state’s Opioid Operational Command Center (OOCC) that Cecil County’s opioid overdose death rate, measured on a population/ per-capita basis, was second only to Baltimore City in 2018 and also over a longer period from 2013 to 2017. “I am privileged to welcome Ms. Lauren Levy to this exponentially important position in Cecil County,” McCarthy said in a [&#8230;]]]></description>
