		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County is about to receive a $9.9 million windfall under the new American Rescue Plan signed into law in March by President Biden but some of County Executive Danielle Hornberger’s budget actions could limit how, and how much, money could be spent to help the county recover from the impacts of the COVID pandemic. At the same time, Hornberger’s proposed Fiscal 2022 budget would reduce allocations to pension funds for first responders, violate budget rules for how capital budget construction costs are allocated, and mislead local residents about her proposals and errors by some of her new political appointees as department heads. Several weeks ago, the National Association of Counties (NACO) did a county-by-county analysis of the American Rescue Plan’s impact on counties around the nation. And those calculations were confirmed in documents released on Monday by the White House, showing that Cecil County will receive a total of $19,948,094 over two years, with the first installment of $9.9 million to be paid this month and the balance paid next year. The state of Maryland will receive $3.7 billion as a one-time payment, plus a special pool of nearly $529,000 that will be available for distribution to [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES Special Report NEWS ANALYSIS It almost seems like ancient history in the long battle over opioid drug abuse in Cecil County to see newly disclosed federal statistics on the flood of painkiller pills from 2006-2012, when more than 36 million pills were dispensed in the county—or enough to supply 51 pills to each and every resident per year. But new data showing the extent of the avalanche of drugs dumped locally is still shocking, even as the drug crisis has moved to a new battleground, waged on needle-strewn streets and using anti-overdose nasal sprays aimed at saving the lives of those now addicted to heroin and fentanyl. The Washington Post waged a long freedom of information court battle to obtain records from a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) database, covering all opioid pills dispensed between 2006 and 2012, including the names of the manufacturers, distributors, and pharmacies that delivered the opioid pills, such as oxycodone and its brand-name version, OxyContin A Post team created its own searchable database, broken down by states and counties, from the DEA data that was released last week. The Post reported that its team sifted through nearly 380 million transactions and analyzed shipments [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amanda Bessicks, a first-time political candidate who promised to shake up the State’s Attorney’s office and make it more responsive to crime victims, won in a three-way contest in Tuesday’s Republican primary. There was no Democratic candidate in the race. Bessicks, 34, has been prosecuting cases involving crimes against children since January and was been a prosecutor for four years. She is a graduate of the University of Delaware and the Widener University Law School and served as a law clerk in the local Circuit Court before joining the State’s Attorney’s office. Despite being a newcomer to local politics, Bessicks drew strong support from victim advocates, especially the family of Terri Ann McCoy, who was brutally murdered in a Chesapeake City home invasion several years ago. She was also endorsed by the Republican Club of Cecil County. Other candidates in the race were Karl Fockler, deputy State’s Attorney since last year and a more than ten-year veteran of the office; and Kevin Urick, a prosecutor with over 12 years’ experience in Cecil County and previously a Baltimore City prosecutor for over 15 years. With all but two precincts reporting, Bessicks won 50.5 percent of the vote. Fockler drew support from31.9 [&#8230;]]]></description>
