		<description><![CDATA[There was anger in the air, and some gallows humor, as about 100 southern Cecil County area residents gathered in Cecilton Wednesday evening (3/20/2019) to question state and local officials on efforts to counteract the invasion of heavy trucks, and speeding cars, in the Warwick and Cecilton areas as drivers trying to avoid newly imposed tolls on US 301 in Delaware clog rural roads in Maryland. Cecil County and Maryland state officials fielded questions and provided answers, but there was a glaring absence of officials from the Delaware Department of Transportation (DELDOT), the architects of the 301 tollroad project. A small contingent of Delaware State Police truck enforcement officers did attend, apparently as a show of solidarity with their counterparts from Maryland, with whom they have recently conducted joint truck weight enforcement efforts on both sides of the state line. Toward the end of the nearly two-hour session, Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy told the crowd that he thought an “abatement” of the tolls for a trial period, while various solutions were explored, would be a positive step. He said he would raise the prospect of suspending the tolls in further talks with DELDOT and try to enlist the help [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All Cecil County Sheriff’s deputies are now equipped with anti-ballistic helmets that could save police lives in a confrontation with a mass shooter—such as the recent Orlando murders—despite Cecil County Council budget cuts last year that slashed funds for riot gear. But the county still lacks other equipment that could save lives in the event of a major shooting incident here. The recent mass shootings at an Orlando, Florida nightclub highlighted the importance of life-saving equipment for law enforcement agencies, including anti-ballistic helmets that saved the life of a police officer and a heavily-armored vehicle used to ram a hole in the building to free wounded and terrified people while the shooter was still firing. The shooter, who was eventually killed by police after he murdered 49 people and wounded almost as many other patrons of the club, fired a shot directly at the head of a police officer but the bullet was deflected by a helmet. Cecil County Sheriff Scott Adams told Cecil Times that, although his Fiscal 2016 budget for “riot gear” was cut nearly in half, his department “scrounged” from other line items, including training programs, to come up with enough funds to equip all current deputies [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Council approved a new Fiscal 2016 budget Tuesday night, cutting spending by over $2 million to kill a property tax increase proposed by County Executive Tari Moore. But the council’s deliberations went to the wire with a last-minute $150,000 spending cut in the county Sheriff’s Department budget that already had been reduced. The hit on the Sheriff’s budget was initiated by County Council President Robert Hodge (R-5), who had been pressing for weeks for even deeper, $250,000 cuts in the Sheriff’s budget but had met resistance from fellow Council members. But Hodge saw his opportunity to resurrect a scaled-back budget cut Tuesday morning, when the council was looking for ways to mitigate the impact of a new Moore-proposed property transfer tax&#8211; with a two-month delay to cover existing sales/purchase contracts. After vote shifts by two Councilors from the morning to the evening sessions on Tuesday, Hodge’s $150,000 cut in the Sheriff’s budget was nevertheless approved at the evening meeting, as Major George Stanko, head of the Sheriff’s law enforcement division, sat stoically in the front of the audience. In contrast, the Cecil County Public Schools (CCPS) emerged victorious with nary a nick in the schools’ budget, except [&#8230;]]]></description>
