		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT Cecil County Executive Tari Moore’s proposal to give an extra $24,000 to her preferred animal control contractor, A Buddy for Life, Inc., for a six-month extended contract actually gives the group a net fiscal gain over their past pact and removes requirements for an independent audit of how taxpayer funds were spent in 2015. Moore signed a $271,020, six-month extension of the Buddies previous three-year contract on 12/29/2015, even though she did not have sufficient funds in the current Fiscal 2016 budget year to pay for it. The Buddies do not own an animal shelter facility and the county also signed a separate $48,000 lease with the owners of Rainwood Kennels to continue to house animals at the Elkton site. On top of the money paid directly to the Buddies, the county is also taking over repairs and maintenance costs of two trucks used for animal control that were previously the fiscal responsibility of the Buddies—at a taxpayer cost estimated by county officials at $4,980 for six months. Now Moore is asking the County Council after-the-fact to approve a total of $24,000 in extra spending for total animal control services—despite the fact that the Council [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County’s animal control oversight panel that monitors a private contractor, handling stray animals at taxpayer expense, has lost two members who resigned recently after what some say was “bullying” by the contractor, A Buddy for Life, Inc. And after a meeting last week, Girl Scouts who had questioned the shelter operations say they suffered racially-tinged remarks telling Black children to “go back to Baltimore.” At the same time, Cecil County Executive Tari Moore and her administration have stood by the Buddies group and current control of the Animal Care and Control Oversight Commission (ACCOC) by pro-Buddies allies. Moore has also indicated in her budget that she is not looking for cost-savings in animal control operations even though the Buddies’ contract expires mid-budget year. At a meeting last week, several Girl Scouts from nearby Delaware attended the session as part of their efforts to learn about and attend government meetings. Three of the young girls spoke, in child-like voices that could barely be heard on the official audiotape of the meeting, for a minute or less each to urge humane treatment of the animals at the taxpayer-supported Buddies shelter located at a rented kennel in Elkton.
