		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County will lose 192 jobs in March at the C&#038;S Wholesale Grocers, Inc. distribution center in North East, catching local officials off-guard, while Prince George’s County fought aggressively and obtained state aid to save over 700 jobs with the same business that were facing elimination there. In essence, Cecil workers were tossed out of the game as part of the PG deal but officials there played an “A” game on the field while Elkton was resting in the dugout. Cecil County did not learn of the local plant closing until a required notification was filed with the state on 1/20/2016—just one day before the Prince George’s county deal was announced at a ceremony in Annapolis. And senior Cecil County officials did not know that a $1.35 million incentive package, including Prince George’s County funds ($500,000) and state funds $(850,000), had been assembled to keep and even expand the PG jobs until Cecil Times advised them of it on Tuesday. “I did not know that,” said Lisa Webb, Cecil County’s Director of Economic Development. Webb also said that “We were really surprised” to receive the notification of the plant closing, since the county had been under the impression [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Cecil Times Special Report The mayors of Cecil County’s eight municipalities have signed a letter protesting the sudden installation of Michael A. Dawson, a new Perryville town commissioner, as the representative of the county’s towns on the Upper Shore Regional Council. The action was taken, in apparent violation of state law, late last week during an unannounced meeting of the panel convened by members of the Smipkin political organization, with which Dawson is aligned. It was just the latest in a long string of sub-rosa actions involving the USRC, including failure to notify the public of its meetings, attempts to close meetings to the public and press contrary to the state’s Open Meetings Act, failure to post meeting minutes on its website for years, and conducting other business outside public view. During the winter convention of the Maryland Association of Counties (MACO) at a resort in Cambridge, a meeting of the USRC was convened by State Sen. E.J. Pipkin (R-36). County Commissioners from the three counties covered by the regional body—Cecil, Kent and Queen Anne’s counties&#8211; attended but there was no public notice in advance, on the USRC’s website or other public means. The installation of Michael A. Dawson [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pollution at the abandoned Navy training center at Bainbridge, near Port Deposit, is so severe that it would be “cost prohibitive” to build housing on the site, Cecil County Commissioners were told Tuesday. At the same time, another Cecil County Commissioners’ appointments controversy looms over the Bainbridge Development Corporation (BDC) board, with two key members’ terms expiring Tuesday: Nelson Bolender, the current BDC board chair and the former president of the County Commissioners; and Carl Roberts, the former superintendent of Cecil County schools and an unsuccessful candidate for county commissioner last year against Diana Broomell (R-4). Bolender and Roberts are Democrats. All five members of the current County Commissioners board are Republicans. Bolender and Roberts have requested re-appointment to the Bainbridge board and the BDC also is seeking appointment of a new member, Chick Hamm, a well-known and respected banker and community organization volunteer. Commissioner Broomell told Cecil Times after the commissioners’ worksession on Tuesday that she had her own list of possible appointees to the BDC board that she wanted to consider. She declined to identify her potential candidates and declined to answer when asked if Roberts’ status as her 2010 election opponent would rule him out from her [&#8230;]]]></description>
