		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County voters elected three Republicans to the County Council in Tuesday’s election, retaining an all-GOP Council and turning back challenges by two well-known Democrats. The only incumbent—Joyce Bowlsbey in District 2—defeated her Democratic challenger, John Ulrich, by a wide margin. She tallied 69.28 percent of the vote, while Ulrich received 30.45 percent, according to unofficial results of early voting and election day votes. The top vote-getter in the Council races was Dan Schneckenburger, a Republican who garnered 71.5 percent of the vote to the 28.4 percent tally of his rival, Bob Porter, a low-profile Democratic candidate. If Democrats had any chance to pick up a seat on the Council it was in District 4, where veteran County Commissioner and Port Deposit mayor Wayne Tome, a Democrat, was looking to return to the county legislative seat he lost four years ago. But political newcomer George Patchell, a Republican and the executive director of the county’s YMCA, overpowered Tome. Patchell scored 66.3 percent of the vote to Tome’s 33.5 percent. Bowlsbey is a retired Gore executive and longtime volunteer on multiple county advisory panels, including leadership of the panel that drafted the county Charter that was overwhelmingly approved by voters in [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County voters went to the polls Tuesday in large numbers to select three members of the County Council, state Delegates and Senators, and local officials including Sheriff, as well as casting ballots on statewide offices. Reports of voter turnout showed strong and steady participation throughout the day. By 3 p.m., a total of 12,294 voters had turned out at the polls, according to the county Board of Elections. Republican participation outpaced that of Democrats, with 6,187 Republicans casting ballots while Democrats tallied 4,261. The remainder of ballots was cast by “unaffiliated” voters and members of “other” parties or groups. Countywide, voter registration for what is classified as “active, eligible voters” totals 61,991. Republicans hold a slim majority with 24,692 voters while Democrats list 22,917—a 1,775 voter difference. There are also 13,288 “unaffiliated” voters in the county, while 300 voters identify with the Libertarian Party; 129 are registered with the Green Party; and 665 are listed as “other.” During a week of early voting held at the county administration building in Elkton that ended last Thursday, 4,123 voters—or 6.65 percent of those eligible to vote&#8211; showed up to cast their ballots before the traditional election day. Of those early voters, [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Candidates for the three open Cecil County Council seats at stake in the November general election faced off 10/8/14 in an issues forum at the Cecil College campus in North East, with most candidates focusing on the economy and drug abuse issues as key concerns for the county’s future. But one candidate flubbed a county budget issue and another didn’t seem to understand the Internet and broadband issues, while most candidates pledged to be polite and collaborative in a new County Council&#8211; in contrast to the often open warfare that has prevailed in the Council for the past two years. During the forum moderated by former county schools superintendent Carl Roberts and sponsored by the county Chamber of Commerce, candidates for the Council seats were asked the same questions and given a limited time for responses. The forum format did not provide for back-and-forth debate among the candidates. A question about the county budget, and how the Council would interact with the County Executive in the budget process, drew a numerical slip from one candidate in District 4 when George Patchell, a Republican, miscalculated the public school system’s proportion of the county budget. Patchell, the executive director of the Cecil [&#8230;]]]></description>
