		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County suffered a record or near record snowfall last weekend and county roads crews and contractors toiled around the clock to clear hundreds of miles of roadways and bridges, but the County Council was divided Tuesday on just how good a job was done and whether social media should have been used more extensively to advise the public on snow-clearing progress. But in southern Cecil County—often referred to by some Elkton-based government officials as “the middle of nowhere”—even remote rural county roads in Earleville were cleared to two full lanes and down to the pavement by mid-day Monday. That response was the best in more than 20 years, with lesser snow accumulations in the past, according to some long-time residents. County Director of Public Works Scott Flanigan took the hot seat to explain to a County Council worksession Tuesday morning the actions of DPW employees and contractors who plowed county roads during the recent snow emergency. “Given the magnitude of the event” and “the major drifting problems,” he said, the DPW staff and contractors rose to the challenge. He noted that just “72 hours after the last snowflakes fell” DPW and its contractors had plowed all major county roadways [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced new transportation aid, including $845 million in new roadwork for counties around the state, on Thursday—but Cecil County was not on the aid list. The no-thanks gesture comes at a time when local business leaders are scheduled to hold a fundraiser for Hogan’s future re-election campaign next week, the first event of its kind. Hogan also announced that he would support a scaled-back state share of aid to the controversial “Purple” light rail line linking Montgomery County and Prince George’s County—a key decision that had been heavily lobbied for by both counties and area business leaders. But it remains to be seen if Hogan’s proposed state aid of $168 million, requiring more money from the counties and private business partners involved in the project, is sufficient to keep the project on track. In the no-good-deed-goes-unpunished litany of Cecil County’s dealings with Annapolis, many other counties on the Eastern Shore and in Western Maryland—where Hogan racked up overwhelming voter support in last year’s election—were given millions in new road aid for their top local transportation priorities. Cecil County, which gave Hogan about 78 percent of its votes in the general election, was notably absent [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[News Analysis Cecil County’s landfill operations have been racking up expenses faster than fees paid by trash dumpers, despite rate increases last year and previous efforts by County Executive Tari Moore to make trash services pay for themselves. In her new budget, Moore proposes more fee boosts to make landfill operations begin to stand on their own fiscal feet. If adopted by the County Council, Moore’s proposals could make the landfill operations close to paying for themselves in the next budget year. And that could be one of the most fiscally-responsible moves Moore has made as county executive. In presenting her new budget recently, Moore said her goal was to make the landfill operations self-sustaining in the next budget year—instead of being a drain on county general funds. The county owns and operates a central landfill and two trash transfer stations at which people can drop off their garbage, which is then transferred by truck to the main landfill. The transfer stations, at Woodlawn and at Stemmer’s Run in Earleville, had their hours and days of operation cut back two years ago as a cost-cutting move. Landfill costs are covered by a so-called “enterprise fund,” meaning that fees paid by [&#8230;]]]></description>
