		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County Executive Danielle Hornberger submitted her first budget to the County Council on 4/1/2021, proposing about a 1-cent cut in the property tax rate while keeping income tax rates at the level set by her predecessor, Alan McCarthy. She also slashed operating funds for county libraries and bestowed the hefty sum of $1 above a state-required county aid level for public schools in order to avoid losing substantial state education aid. At the same time, there were substantial pay raise costs for two of her newly appointed department heads whose Republican Party and Annapolis political credentials far exceed their local government experience. The capital budget, which covers various construction projects that are supposed to have at least ten years of useful life, includes several surprise expenditures for projects that had been cast aside in the past for legal or practical/longevity reasons. The capital budget expenditures do not “count” in calculations for the property tax rate, the bell-weather of local politics, but the costs still must be paid over long-term bond expenses. In her 2020 political campaign, Hornberger pledged to “rollback the tax increases” enacted under the four-year administration of McCarthy, whom she defeated in the Republican primary.

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced new transportation aid, including $845 million in new roadwork for counties around the state, on Thursday—but Cecil County was not on the aid list. The no-thanks gesture comes at a time when local business leaders are scheduled to hold a fundraiser for Hogan’s future re-election campaign next week, the first event of its kind. Hogan also announced that he would support a scaled-back state share of aid to the controversial “Purple” light rail line linking Montgomery County and Prince George’s County—a key decision that had been heavily lobbied for by both counties and area business leaders. But it remains to be seen if Hogan’s proposed state aid of $168 million, requiring more money from the counties and private business partners involved in the project, is sufficient to keep the project on track. In the no-good-deed-goes-unpunished litany of Cecil County’s dealings with Annapolis, many other counties on the Eastern Shore and in Western Maryland—where Hogan racked up overwhelming voter support in last year’s election—were given millions in new road aid for their top local transportation priorities. Cecil County, which gave Hogan about 78 percent of its votes in the general election, was notably absent [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Councilor Joyce Bowlsbey (R-2) launched her election campaign on Monday, touring the county’s towns to hear first-hand the concerns of the municipalities and pledging to give local communities a voice in Elkton. Bowlsbey, who was appointed to her Council seat last year by County Executive Tari Moore, will be standing for election for the first time this year. Bowlsbey filled the vacancy created when Moore resigned her legislative seat to become the county’s first County Executive under Charter government. County Council members are elected at-large, meaning that although they must live in one of the five districts of the council, voters throughout the county choose Council members, not just residents of their districts. Bowlsbey began her day-long trek south-of-the-Canal, visiting Cecilton and Chesapeake City. Residents of southern Cecil often complain that their concerns are ignored by county-wide politicians, who locals joke couldn’t find Earleville or Warwick even with a GPS device. But Bowlsbey said she was opening her campaign with a listening tour, to hear what local officials had to say about the issues and problems facing their communities. At the start of the morning, she visited Cecilton town hall, meeting with Mayor Joseph Zang, town administrator Brenda [&#8230;]]]></description>
