		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Even before Danielle Hornberger raised her hand and took the oath of office as Cecil County’s new County Executive on Monday (12/7/2020), some county department heads were already locked out of their computers and within an hour or two ousted from the county administration building in Elkton. The purge was carried out by Dan Schneckenburger, nominated but not yet confirmed as required by the County Council for the Director of Administration position, sources said. Schneckenburger is a two-time election loser in county politics, having served one term on the County Council but losing a bid for re-election to his seat two years ago and also losing a run for County Executive against Alan McCarthy four years ago. McCarthy lost his bid for re-election to Hornberger this year in the June Republican primary. (Hornberger won the November general election with 63.4 percent of the vote, to 36.3 percent for her Democratic opponent, Jeff Kase.) Even before the June primary, Schneckenburger was in discussions about his role in a potential Hornberger administration, according to multiple social media postings by his wife. He had left the county about a year ago to take a job in Florida and, while ineligible to [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Many years ago, a crusty, elderly Vermont senator had a solution to end the long Vietnam war: “Declare victory and leave.” But both sides in a war between the town of Rising Sun and the Cecil County government&#8211;over town plans for a major expansion of water service to rural areas, to defray some of the costs of its new $10.5 million water system&#8211; are declaring victory, after a state agency made two relatively minor concessions to the town while accepting the county’s insistence to protect rural and farm areas from development. One side in the local feud seems unwilling to “leave” the battlefield anytime soon. While the county adopted a low-key matter-of-fact tone with presentation of relevant documents, the Town of Rising Sun and its mayor, Travis Marion, went on the political offensive. In particular, portions of the town’s official statement claiming victory in the MDE’s decisions and posted on social media could make a libel lawyer salivate at the potential for a high-fee case. The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) recently approved Cecil County’s updated Master Water and Sewer Plan with two changes sought by the Town of Rising Sun: inclusion of possible future town water [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy announced Tuesday (3/28/2017) that he is creating a new “Department of Land use and Development Services” to place under one roof permit applications and reviews for new business and development projects to streamline functions that are currently divided among three county agencies. The expedited process, including online applications for and tracking of permit review status, would also apply to residents seeking permits for renovations or improvements for their homes. Members of the County Council were briefed on the proposal during a closed-door session Tuesday morning and a formal announcement of the plan was issued a few hours later by McCarthy’s administration. In a statement, McCarthy said a new “Department of Land Use and Development Services” would consolidate certain “services provided by Planning and Zoning, Permits and Inspections and the plans review function of the Department of Public Works.” The change would keep current staff members involved in permit reviews in those agencies, but have them work together in a single entity to enhance collaboration and speed up the review process. “This reorganization will result in greater efficiency with the plans review and permitting processes by bringing all employees that administer this function together in one [&#8230;]]]></description>
