		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Jesse Colvin, a former US Army Ranger and the Democratic challenger in the Dist. 1 race for the US House, was polite and respectful, even as he delivered political body blows to his Republican opponent, incumbent Rep. Andy Harris during a candidates’ forum on a CECIL.TV delayed broadcast on the Internet. For his part, Harris was often dismissive, repeatedly calling his opponent by his first name—even as Colvin called him Mr., Dr., or Congressman—and referring to Colvin as a “newcomer” to the District. (Colvin is a fourth-generation Marylander who grew up in Baltimore. Harris was born in Queens, NY.) For the first time since he wrestled the District 1 seat away from Democrat Frank Kratovil in 2010, Harris is facing a well-funded challenger who has been garnering bipartisan support, including some former top national Republican officials. There has also been a torrent of Letters to the Editor in local newspapers from pro-Colvin writers, while Harris’ supporters have largely been silent. Colvin has raised a total of $1,575,000 in donations to his campaign, although he had to spend a significant share to win the Democratic nomination in June in a crowded field. Colvin still had $750,877 cash-on-hand for the [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS From nose-biting at a polling place to creating a political club with virtually the same name as a longstanding and well-known Republican group so as to confuse voters, never let it be said that Cecil County politics is clean and above-board. Now we can add to the dirtpile the cyberspace hijacking of one candidate’s full name by his opponent, in order to divert voters to his own website and solicit donations. Ed Larsen, a janitorial services business owner from Conowingo, filed to run in the Republican primary for County Council in District 4 against incumbent George Patchell. Patchell, who is the popular head of the Cecil County YMCA and well known as a leader in youth activities, was first elected to the County Council four years ago and has filed for re-election in the June Republican Primary. (There is no Democratic candidate, so the winner of the GOP primary will be unopposed on the November general election ballot.) Larsen, apparently not content to make a straightforward appeal to voters with his own website, “Larsen4Cecil.com,” has registered at least four website domain names that are plays upon George Patchell’s name, according to records on file with the ICANN/ WHOIS [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[COMMENTARY A majority of the Cecil County Council seems to be worrying about picking up peanuts, as it reviews the proposed Fiscal 2018 budget, while ignoring the elephants in the room: the need to invest in the county’s future and to work harder and smarter to address the local opioid drug epidemic. Some of the Council’s preliminary budget actions reflected the newbie factor of two new Council members with a lot to learn about county government and the budget process while other efforts displayed some grandstanding and gimmickry by a veteran Councilor who should, and does, know better. Some nickel-and-dime decisions, like cutting a paltry $29,100 item that would have added a part-time small business librarian to the county library system, made no sense from an investment standpoint. The lone small business librarian in the county has been publicly credited by numerous start-ups for their success, while state and national library agencies have recognized the county library for its innovative efforts despite not having added any other new staffers since 2009, even as public demand for services has skyrocketed. And a major item—the Health Department’s request for $3.2 million in county funds—didn’t get a single word from the Council. Although [&#8230;]]]></description>
