		<description><![CDATA[The long battle royale over boosted tolls at the Hatem Bridge that links Cecil County to the rest of Maryland has taken on a new twist: the state wants to eliminate cash toll payment lanes and force motorists to use electronic EZ Pay transponders—or face a $12 fee, including a $4 penalty over the current $8 cash toll. But Del. David Rudolph (D-35) said Tuesday he plans to introduce legislation in the General Assembly to stop the state proposal in its tracks. Deborah Sharpless, deputy Executive Secretary of the Maryland Transportation Authority, told the Cecil County Council on Tuesday that the state wants to eliminate the toll booths at the Route 40 span that links Cecil and Harford Counties as a cost-saving measure that would also improve traffic flow over the bridge. She justified the proposal by saying that 91 percent of the motorists now using the bridge pay tolls by EZ Pass electronic transponders. In 2011, the MTA proposed elimination of a traditional $10 a year decal for unlimited trips over the bridge and initially insisted upon a mandatory EZ Pass transponder plan that would have forced Cecil County residents to pay $36 a year, plus $1.50 a month [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 2014 Cecil County political contests took an interesting turn this week when George Patchell, executive director of the local YMCA, filed as a Republican candidate for County Council in District 4 to seek the seat held by controversial incumbent Diana Broomell. And Michael A. Dawson—known locally as “MAD Mike”—withdrew his candidacy for a state Senate seat in a newly drawn Cecil and Harford county district. Patchell, the longtime executive director of the Cecil County YMCA and a local resident whose family is well known in the area, filed his candidacy on Wednesday for the Republican nomination for the District 4 County Council seat. That seat is currently held by Broomell, a Republican who has been aggressively at odds with her fellow GOP County Council members for over a year. Another Republican, Michael W. Dawson—known locally, and in his ballot filings, as “Good Mike”—had already filed to run against Broomell. MWD Dawson has taken pains to differentiate himself from Michael A. Dawson, a highly controversial former Perryville town commissioner known locally as “MAD Mike” Dawson, who had filed to run for a state Senate seat but this week withdrew his candidacy.
