		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES Special Report NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County’s Animal Services agency is overspending its current Fiscal 2019 budget and is asking for an infusion of $140,000 immediately, drawn from a county fiscal reserve fund that is supposed to be off-limits for current spending. In addition, the agency is seeking a 41.7 percent operating budget boost in the proposed fiscal 2020 budget and adding 2.5 full-time-equivalent workers to its payroll—the highest number of any unit of county government. The full cost of the county’s animal services program is not even reflected in its own budget, with operations and maintenance costs of its Chesapeake City facility buried in an overall county property management account and its vehicle replacement costs shifted into the countywide vehicle “fleet” account. In the new Fiscal 2020 budget, Animal Services is seeking a 41.7 percent increase in its operating budget, bringing those costs to $1,097,415. In addition, maintenance of the shelter is budgeted separately at $64,565, a 21.2 percent increase over the current budget year. The total request amounts to $1,161,980. But even before the County Council reviews the new budget, Councilors are now being asked to make a significant transfer of funds in the current fiscal [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES Special Report Cecil County’s government-operated Animal Services agency recently raided two locations, in Elkton and Rising Sun, and took into custody 63 animals as part of an investigation of alleged animal “neglect” by a non-profit animal rescue organization, according to county officials. But there are many unanswered questions about licensing and inspection of “rescues” and kennels by the county animal agency, including information provided to CECIL TIMES contending that many kennels were not inspected or licenses issued in 2018 as required by county law. CECIL TIMES had arranged in advance a telephone conference call to discuss kennel license and inspection issues, including the “rescue” raided by the county, for Tuesday afternoon with key county officials, including Abigail Bingham, the animal services director, and her boss, David Trolio, the Community Services and transit head, and county attorney Jason Allison. But Allison abruptly cancelled the call via email 15 minutes before it was due to start, saying that no discussion would be allowed and only written questions would be considered for response at a future date. He stated that the “ongoing investigation” of the rescue group precluded any discussion of the matter. But in subsequent emails, he declined to [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[EX-SHERIFF JANNEY CONSIDERS SECURITY CHIEF JOB FOR PROPOSED POT FARM Former Cecil County Sheriff Barry Janney, who is currently the chief of the Community Corrections unit of the county’s Detention Center, has joined a group of Harford County residents and businessmen in a bid to obtain one of 15 state licenses for a medical marijuana growing facility. In a highly competitive process, a special state commission is expected to pick the successful winners from hundreds of applicants in the next month or so. Janney is involved with an operation, “True Health Chesapeake, LLC,” that was first identified as an applicant by The Washington Post, which filed freedom of information requests to obtain names of persons associated with applicants for pot farm licenses. However, The Post identified the proposed location of the True Health facility as in Cecil County, but Janney told Cecil Times that in fact the planned operation would be located in the agricultural area of northern Harford County near Jarrettsville. Cecil County Sheriff Scott Adams told Cecil Times he had discussed the matter with Janney and made it clear that if the facility were to be licensed by the state, Janney would be “out” of his Cecil County [&#8230;]]]></description>
