		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County commuters will get a new bus service—and maybe even a seat if Delaware travelers haven’t snagged them all—to reach the commuter rail station in Perryville, but extending the rail line to Elkton and beyond is being stalled yet again, state transportation leaders told Cecil County officials recently. And state officials dismissed a growing clamor by local elected officials, from State Sen. Steve Hershey (R-36), Perryville Mayor Jim Eberhart, and County Council members to alleviate traffic nightmares and rush-hour jams on roads near the Hatem Bridge by allowing Hatem EZ passes to be used on the I-95 Tydings bridge over the Susquehanna River during rush hours. Secretary of Transportation Pete Rahn was accompanied by a gaggle of state roads and transit officials, including one who apparently thought the Aberdeen Proving Ground was in Cecil County as he touted a new Baltimore to APG commuter bus line. (Uh, wrong county, wrong direction to benefit Cecil commuters…) Cecil County leaders and Elkton town officials have long sought extension of the MARC commuter rail line, which now ends in Perryville and is the only passenger rail gap in the entire Northeast rail corridor. Re-instating service to Elkton, and extending service into nearby [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a much larger than usual voter turnout Tuesday, Perryville voters re-elected James Eberhardt as mayor, repudiating newcomer town Commissioner Michael A. Dawson and his outspoken attacks on town officials and employees. After the polls closed at 7 p.m., the elections board tallied the votes of 495 residents, with Eberhardt winning 320 votes to Dawson’s 175. In past town elections, turnout often tallied no more than 10 percent of an estimated 2,000 eligible voters. But this time, interest in the election ran high among local residents, prompting multiple letters to local newspapers supporting Eberhardt and a “Friends of Jim Eberhardt” group on Facebook. Eberhardt, who is a retired chief financial officer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, won his fifth term as mayor of Cecil County&#8217;s second-largest town just a week after the town council adopted an $8.8 million budget that cut spending and reduced the local property tax rate. The town also recently cut the ribbon on a new town pier that is a cornerstone of the Lower Susquehanna Heritage Greenway and nature trail, providing public water access to the river as part of a federally-supported historic and environmental initiative.

		<description><![CDATA[Commentary The popular TV show, “Mad Men,” about the machinations and over-the-top drama of the early 1960’s advertising game, has nothing on our own MAD Men of Cecil County politics—except perhaps for the broad-shouldered, grown-up suits and wide ties worn by the lead characters on TV. Trade in the suits for baggy, campaign-slogan tee shirts and athletic shoes for walking door-to-door to drop off political advertising flyers as misleading as Don Draper’s Lucky Strike ads on TV, and voila: MAD Men Cecil County style. Looking ahead to the rest of this season’s shows, the MAD Men of Cecil will be playing in the Perryville town election in May and the general election for county-wide offices in November. And there is already an assist from a Harford County conservative activist—who has received lots of political money from Smipkin aligned political committees&#8211; putting a negative “voice” on the Internet into the mouth of our otherwise perpetually silent Cecil County Commissioner, Michael (Mike) Dunn (R-3). The latest episode of our local political comedy-drama came late last week, when the Cecil County Republican Central Committee met at the Howard House in Elkton for what was billed as one of the panel’s infrequent regular meetings [&#8230;]]]></description>
