		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore proposed a Fiscal 2016 budget on Wednesday 4/1/15 that would increase property taxes, raise fees for dumping trash at the landfill, and boost public school spending for many, but not all, of the schools’ requests. The budget proposal would yet again tap the county’s “unassigned fund balance” reserves, which were accumulated over many years by the old county Board of Commissioners as a cushion against fiscal adversity, with a more than $1 million withdrawal applied to spending in the new budget. But that figure is far less than was consumed in each of her past two budgets. (The current budget withdrew $4.l million initially from the reserves but another $400,000 was recently approved by the County Council, for a total hit of $4.5 million in the current budget year.) For homeowners, the biggest change is a proposed increase from the current property tax rate of .9907 per $100 of assessed property value to $1.01. Moore calculated the increase would cost an owner of a home valued at about $200,000 an extra $45 a year. In her past two budgets, Moore froze the property tax rate with no increases. However, state property value assessments have been [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[News/News Analysis The proposed establishment of a new vocational/technical education school on the reduced-price Basell property has been embraced by much of the county’s educational and business leadership, but scorned by the Three Amigos majority of the County Commissioners. Now the county’s Treasurer, Bill Feehley, has weighed in against the plan, at the request of Commissioner Diana Broomell (R-4), in an email to members of the county’s Economic Development Commission (EDC). But Dr. D’Ette Devine, the county schools Superintendent, responded with some pointed comments in her own missive to the EDC, which is slated to hold its monthly meeting this week. Her response disputed Feehley’s assertions and calculations, which she said had been refuted in past one-on-one discussions with him, and she questioned, “It makes one wonder about the true motive” of his public objections now. The point and counterpoint to the EDC and the panel’s potential response also raises questions about the new composition of the usually pro-business EDC, which has been recast with some new appointees put in place by the Three Amigos faction, as well as the role of the county’s new director of economic development, Lisa Webb.
