		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Council members were all aboard the budget bus Tuesday evening (4/25/2017) when they reviewed Fiscal 2018 spending plans for the county’s bus transit, senior citizens’ and other programs, even as the services have grown in size and scope. The Council is looking for ways to save money in the upcoming budget year, in an effort to mitigate proposed increases in the county property tax rate and a rise in the “piggyback” income tax rate. But there didn’t seem to be any inclination to trim anything from the $2.58 million it costs the county to operate the Department of Community Services. The department, headed by David Trolio, had a mini-bus service and seniors’ programs at the core of its portfolio for many years, but on his watch the agency has grown to include animal services, health-related programs, youth assistance, housing aid, and broader transportation planning projects as well as greatly expanded bus services. Trolio said he anticipated bus ridership of almost 100,000 seats filled during the current Fiscal 2017 budget year. The department gets most of its financial support from federal and state aid programs, as well as fees paid by bus riders and users of other services, which [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES Special Report Cecil County Executive Tari Moore cut nearly $1 million from the Fiscal 2016 budget proposed by Sheriff Scott Adams, who is looking to reorganize operations to better address the county’s crime and illegal drug problems. But the budget setback could undermine or delay some of the changes he wants to make, according to Adams. “Obviously, it’s disappointing,” Adams said of the county executive’s budget plan unveiled this week. As a result, some of his plans for re-organizing operations and developing new initiatives to serve the public will be limited or placed on hold for the immediate future. In an interview with Cecil Times, Adams explained that he gave Moore a detailed four-year plan of where he wanted to take his department, provided a blueprint of the staffing needed to accomplish that mission, and emphasized his commitment to finding new ways to address the rampant drug abuse problem in the county. As part of that plan, Adams proposed adding five additional deputies to the patrol force—to replace some of the deputies who were re-deployed to several anti-drug initiatives&#8211; and three additional community corrections officers as part of a program to co-ordinate with the county’s Drug Court.

		<description><![CDATA[  When a private, profit-making developer proposed turning a series of dilapidated and vacant properties on High Street into a modern apartment building for senior citizens, Elkton town officials  were over-joyed.  Little did they know then that the project would bring them controversy, a court challenge, and a lot of headaches.    The Elkton Alliance, whose executive director Mary Jo Jablonski was and is also a town commissioner, could barely contain its glee in 2009 when the Ingerman Group, of Cherry Hill, N.J., moved up in the state&#8217;s  priority list for federal housing assistance. (See link here:)    https://elktonalliance.blogspot.com/2009/03/high-street-senior-apartments.html A majority of the town board has moved heaven and earth, as well as town ordinances, to accomodate the project, as documented in town meeting minutes ( see:  https://www.elkton.org/uploads/Meetings/Mayor%20and%20Commissioners%20Meetings/Minutes/MC12.16.09.pdf ) and Circuit Court proceedings brought by critics who questioned the way the town handled the project. (See also the excellent coverage of the town board on www.someonenoticed.wordpress.com as this issue wound its way through the town approval process.)    The Ingerman Group has built senior housing and low income family housing projects along the East Coast for many years. Many of their projects have won design and environmental awards. (See homepage here: https://www.ingerman.com/index.php ) Indeed, the artist&#8217;s renderings [&#8230;]]]></description>
