		<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[Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy wants a new Interstate 95 interchange to serve new businesses coming to the Principio business park and has reinstated commuter rail expansion in Cecil County as top priorities, in contrast to a puzzling push last year by former county executive Tari Moore to make a bus garage and pie-in-the-sky rail station in North East her top priority for state transportation aid to the county. McCarthy outlined his transportation priorities in a letter to State Secretary of Transportation Pete Rahn that was submitted to the County Council on Tuesday (3/21/2017), as part of an annual process to set county priorities. Members of the Council generally welcomed McCarthy’s new priorities. A new interchange on Interstate 95, at Belvedere Road, would serve the Principio Business Park, where several major new warehousing operations are under construction, including an Amazon “fulfillment center” expected to create 700 jobs and a “distribution center” for Lidl, a German grocery operation that is entering US markets for the first time. Now, I-95 traffic to Principio would access the site from exits in Perryville or North East, then travel along Route 40. A more direct interchange route would speed up access to the warehouses while [&#8230;]]]></description>
