		<description><![CDATA[If you take a paycheck, most employers expect you to show up for the job. But taxpayers didn’t get the job done by one of their employees when Cecil County Del. Michael Smigiel (R-36) was a no-show as the House of Delegates passed one of the most locally reviled bills of this year’s General Assembly session: an increase in the gas tax. And that wasn’t his only voting MIA on important legislation. [In fact, a review of a 70-page database of all his votes during the 2013 session found that Smigiel was marked absent on a total of 194 votes on the House floor.] One of the most controversial issues in the recently concluded General Assembly session was a proposed increase in gasoline taxes, with a new sales tax to be phased in as well as boosts in the existing state gas tax of 23.5 cents a gallon that would for the first time link future increases to inflation. As a result, drivers could expect to pay an additional 4-cents a gallon as of July 1 and the extra costs could jump by as much as 20-cents a gallon by 2016. In the largely rural 36th District, where residents must [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps it was the location in historic Chestertown, the home of Washington College and a tradition of political civility, that led to a particularly polite candidates’ forum Tuesday night among candidates for state Delegate and Senator in the 36th district. An earlier forum in Cecil County with many of the same candidates had lots more fireworks. There were a few moments of spirited ripostes toward the end of the program, when Democrat William Manlove, running for the 36th District seat currently held by Republican Michael Smigiel, cited the attack ads against Republican Del. Richard Sossi of Queen Anne’s County, who narrowly lost the GOP primary to Stephen S. Hershey. (Hershey, who is now unopposed in the general election, did not attend the forum that was sponsored by the Kent County League of Women Voters.) “It has disturbed many people,” Manlove said of the tactics used against Sossi. Smigiel and incumbent Sen. E.J. Pipkin campaigned as a team with Hershey and Pipkin paid for a flyer endorsing Hershey. Manlove pointed out that Smigiel was rejected by a majority of voters in Kent and Cecil counties in the last election and only won due to support from a “coalition of Del.
