		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS New Cecil County Executive Danielle Hornberger may have gotten her political dream team when she installed two Annapolis Republican political consultants as members of her administration: a consultant who specializes in financial disclosures required of political campaigns to become county finance director and a prominent lobbyist and campaign consultant, who has no record of ever handling a court case, as the county attorney. But what county taxpayers will get in return for the six-figure salaries they will likely be paying for each of them is less clear. While they lack relevant local government and legal experience. they bring in strong Republican political ties to Annapolis power brokers, especially State GOP chairman Dirk Haire, who aided the Hornberger campaign with polling in the party primary here and represented her in court when her campaign financial disclosures and other documents were challenged by outgoing County Executive Alan McCarthy, who lost overwhelmingly to her in the GOP primary.

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Council member Jackie Gregory (R-5) has drafted a list of budget cuts for the proposed Fiscal 2021 county budget that will be considered today (5/19/2020), with no advance public notice, that particularly targets county library, parks, and emergency services, including paramedics responding to emergency calls during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Gregory, who is running for re-election in the June 2 Republican primary, was still writing and re-writing her proposals late Monday night and is expected to offer amendments to the budget during a Council worksession that is slated to begin at 3.30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Council is meeting via videoconferencing and is also scheduled to vote on the full Fiscal 2020 budget during an evening legislative meeting that will also be conducted remotely. It is the first time in two years that Gregory, a routine critic of the county budget, has actually offered a list of amendments and sought formal votes on spending cuts.
