		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS If there is Karma in politics, Del. Kevin Hornberger (R-35B) is facing it: so confident of a re-election victory in a three-way race, he devoted much effort and political cash to promote allies of his wife, Cecil County Executive Danielle Hornberger, for the County Council in Tuesday’s Republican primary election. But he apparently failed to see the very real threat to his own legislative seat. And the chief target of the Hornbergers’ avalanche of glossy, negative and untrue flyers, incumbent Councilor Al Miller (R-3), is just five votes behind their own protégé, Bob Gatchell, an actor with a repertoire of cross-dressing drag show performances and a political newcomer. There are at least 1,026 Republican ballots still to be counted in a canvass of dropbox and mailed ballots that begins on Thursday 7/21/2022, according to state Board of Elections (BOE) data for Cecil County. Additional mail-in ballots may be received before a second canvass next week. It remains to be seen if Kevin Hornberger can hang on to or expand his small 43-vote margin of victory over Adam Streight, a county Sheriff’s Deputy and former president of the FOP Lodge 2 police union. In early voting and Election Day [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dan Schneckenburger, an engineer and past member of numerous county advisory panels and business groups, filed his candidacy on 1/6/13 for the Cecil County Council seat now held by Michael Dunn (R-3). In the recent past, Schneckenburger, a Republican, was highly critical of Dunn and his fellow members of the old “Three Amigos” majority of the county’s Board of Commissioners—a faction that also included current Council member Diana Broomell (R-4) and former Commissioner James Mullin (R-1). In December, 2011, the Three Amigos refused to re-appoint Schneckenburger as a volunteer member of the Susquehanna Workforce Network board—shortly after he wrote an op-ed column for the Wilmington News-Journal that criticized the Amigos’ majority, calling the group “quite possibly the worst administration in the history of Cecil County.” He criticized the group’s record on “crony” appointees to various boards and commissions and the politically-tinged ouster of the county’s former director of economic development. But in a statement announcing his candidacy this week, Schneckenburger never mentions Dunn’s name or the Amigos and seeks to bolster his credentials as a rock-ribbed conservative Republican: “I strongly support the principles of the Republican Party – with less government, protection of personal property and second amendment rights, and [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Democratic primary election candidates for Cecil County Executive and two new County Council seats had some mostly gentle disagreements with each other during a candidate forum Wednesday evening, in contrast to some of the more embattled discord among members of the county’s current all-Republican government. The forum, sponsored by Cecil County Democrats and held at Cecil College, featured separate panels for the County Executive candidates—Pam Howard, Robert McKnight and Winston Robinson—and those running in the party’s primary for County Council. James Crouse, the former mayor of Elkton, is running unopposed in the Democratic primary in District 5 while Garrett Billmire and Pamela Bailey are contending against each other in District 1. Crouse provided some of the most interesting and detailed proposals of the evening, saying that the county should consider some of the revenue-raising ideas he advanced while a councilman and mayor of the county’s largest town for about 24 years. He suggested the county should institute a hotel room tax to garner revenues needed to pay for county services without burdening local residents. He said the Elkton hotel tax generates over $1 million a year just from those establishments located in town limits. Such fees or “nuisance taxes” [&#8230;]]]></description>
