In essence, Cecil workers were tossed out of the game as part of the PG deal but officials there played an “A” game on the field while Elkton was resting in the dugout. Cecil County did not learn of the local plant closing until a required notification was filed with the state on 1/20/2016—just one day before the Prince George’s county deal was announced at a ceremony in Annapolis. And senior Cecil County officials did not know that a $1.35 million incentive package, including Prince George’s County funds ($500,000) and state funds $(850,000), had been assembled to keep and even expand the PG jobs until Cecil Times advised them of it on Tuesday. “I did not know that,” said Lisa Webb, Cecil County’s Director of Economic Development.

But the fiscal realities of the new budget should bring a dose of reality and lower expectations, both for citizens and the county government itself.

And with the new Gov. Larry Hogan having to find hundreds of millions of dollars in additional spending cuts to balance his own upcoming budget, Cecil County will no doubt face more cutbacks in state assistance. Nevertheless, Moore pledged to develop “the most responsible budget I can.” But deep in the charts and graphs in a fiscal report prepared by the county’s Finance Department, and that agency’s recent evaluation of the Fiscal [&#8230;]]]></description>
