		<description><![CDATA[A citizen’s budget advisory panel told the Cecil County Council on Tuesday that it should slash county public schools spending to the bare bones level required by state law, ban overtime pay for guards at the county jail, and freeze almost all hiring. But the panel also cautioned that the county executive’s new budget proposal is endangering the county’s fiscal future by draining reserve funds in an uncertain economy to pay for current spending. A similar list of recommendations by a citizens’ panel including some of the same members was virtually ignored by the County Council last year. Several of the latest proposals drew obvious skepticism from Council members on Tuesday. But this time, there was more interest in some more detailed and intriguing analysis by the panel on the county’s economic future and concerns about a pattern of raiding past reserve funds accumulated over decades as a cushion against economic adversity but now being used to pay for current spending. James Butkiewicz, an economist and chair of the seven-member panel, emphasized that the local economy, especially the real estate market, was still troubled and the county government should not be overly optimistic about economic recovery to support local government [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What a difference a Deputy in the room makes. After a raucous Cecil County Council worksession last week at which Councilor Diana Broomell shouted at another lawmaker to “shut up,” on Tuesday the voices were hushed, the tone polite and Broomell even raised her hand to ask permission to speak. Seated a few feet away was a deputy Sheriff, in full uniform, just in case the Council president needed someone to escort a misbehaving Council member from the room. Council President Robert Hodge (R-5) initiated a discussion of the Council’s rules of decorum, in the aftermath of last week’s Broomell meltdown, telling the full Council on Tuesday that recent events had been an “embarrassment” to the Council “and Cecil County government in general.” Henceforth, he said, the rules would be strictly enforced, so that “meetings are orderly, civil, professional and efficient.” [SEE previous Cecil Times report on the previous meeting meltdown here: https://ceciltimes.com/2014/02/political-paranoia-on-shocking-display-at-cecil-county-council-broomell-loses-control/ ] And “if some Council members want to say I am infringing on their right to freedom of speech, so be it,” Hodge said. Broomell did just that, saying the rules were being “enforced one way” and should also apply to members of the audience. But Hodge [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County’s Sheriff’s Department is bringing on two new four-pawed recruits this spring, training K9 dogs to detect illegal drugs in schools and also serve broader law enforcement duties in the county—at no expense to taxpayers. In an interview with Cecil Times, Sheriff Barry Janney said that he has been working for months on a plan to use money seized from convicted drug dealers to expand his agency’s tools to combat drugs. Discussions have been going on since last summer, especially after Gov. Martin O’Malley met with county officials to address the serious problem of drug overdose deaths in Cecil County, he said. After discussions with County Executive Tari Moore, Janney said he went ahead and retained a consultant to explore the costs, training needs and capabilities of adding canines to the force. A plan was developed to purchase two specially-bred police dogs, recruit two current deputies to be their partners, and put them through an expected six-month training period before the unit will be operational probably by late this summer. “It’s very costly,” Janney said of the process. But he said the program will use $25,000 in money seized from drug dealers to acquire the dogs and pay for [&#8230;]]]></description>
