		<description><![CDATA[It was two days after Christmas, 2013 and all through the Upper Shore, Republican politicos had visions of sugar-daddy plums coming down the chimney with ex-Sen. E.J. Pipkin, who resigned from his seat and moved to Texas—leaving behind a hefty goody sack filled with political cash. In a newly filed campaign finance report, Pipkin reported that he recently distributed virtually all of his remaining campaign funds to various political committees and one candidate in particular: his longtime ally and underling, Del. Michael Smigiel (R-36). Smigiel—half of the “Smipkin” political organization moniker with Pipkin that ruled Cecil County GOP politics for several years until Pipkin’s resignation—was gifted with $6,000 given to his campaign committee on 12/27/13, according to Pipkin’s filings with the state Board of Elections. (The state elections board reported that Smigiel had not filed his required annual report by the 1/15/14 deadline and had already been assessed a late fee.) At the time of his resignation, Pipkin served as the Republican Minority Leader in the state Senate, and many of his colleagues were both shocked and miffed with his sudden departure. Pipkin apparently sought to mollify his old colleagues with a $5,355 donation to the “Republican Senatorial Slate Committee,” [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore filed a late campaign finance report documenting minimal financial activity in the final days of her successful campaign while Pam Howard, a Democrat who lost in the November election, pumped her campaign spending into high gear toward the end of the contest. Moore, who ran as a Republican but switched to “Unaffiliated” shortly before she was sworn in as County Executive, reported in her post-general election filings with the state Board of Elections that there were no new contributions to her campaign since her pre-general election report filed in mid-October. The only expenses listed on the new report were $800 in food catering costs for her election night gathering. Her account still has $7,412 cash on hand in the bank, according to the report. The new report covers spending or donations from 10/22/12 through 11/20/12, which reflects the final days of the general election campaign and financial activity or outstanding bill payments in the immediate aftermath of the November election. Moore’s report is dated 12/12/12&#8211; well after the due date of 11/27/12 for the post-general election campaign finance report.
