		<description><![CDATA[CONGRESS RACE TAKES TO AIRWWAVES The longshot candidacy of Bill Tilghman, a Democrat running in November against incumbent Republican Rep. Andy Harris (R-1), recently took an expensive gamble: buying about a week’s worth of heavy saturation over-the-air television ads in Baltimore and Salisbury. The ad, entitled “Any Good Idea,” promotes Tilghman’s message that he is not a partisan ideologue and is willing to listen to ideas from all sides of the political spectrum. It’s a message that has been used successfully in other districts around the nation where so-called “Blue Dog Democrats”—moderates or fiscal conservatives—have overcome more conservative Republican opponents. It is also a strategy that helped former Rep. Frank Kratovil, a Democrat who briefly held the District 1 congressional seat, until he fell to the conservative Harris. But since Kratovil’s tenure, the district has been re-drawn to make it even more heavily Republican in voter registration, with the result that the gerrymandered district became the repository for the geographic bulk of the state’s GOP voters and Harris the only Republican in the state’s Congressional delegation. “The problem in Washington is no one listens to one another,” the ad begins. Tilghman, who is a retired lawyer whose family roots on [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New reports to the state Board of Elections by recently-filed candidates for Cecil County offices show that two County Council candidates have quickly assembled substantial campaign warchests while a minimally-financed incumbent Councilor has removed his campaign treasurer, who is barred under state election rules from service due to her involvement with a PAC that is under state investigation. Under campaign finance reforms enacted by the General Assembly and taking effect for this year’s primary elections, candidates who filed their candidacy after a January campaign finance report filing deadline must now file a “spring report” showing their financial activities since they filed for office. In the past, citizens would have had to wait until a later pre-primary reporting deadline to assess the campaign finance activities of the late candidates. Candidates who filed a report in January did not have to file the most recent “spring” reports, which were due last week. In the County Council races, George Patchell, the longtime executive director of the county’s YMCA who is running in the Republican primary in District 4, raised $4,106 in contributions plus $3,720 in fundraiser ticket sales, for a $7,826 warchest. He spent $7,067 on the usual billboard, printing and yard sign [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[State Threatens Criminal Case against PAC that Paid for other PAC’s Anti-Baynes Flyer Even more than a year after the last election, one of the deepest secrets of the local campaign season—who really paid for a vicious attack flyer against Cecil County Judge Keith Baynes—is still a secret. But the State Board of Elections has threatened criminal action against leaders of a political action committee (PAC) that has refused to file any required financial disclosure reports. The tawdry tale involved a flyer accusing Baynes of being soft on pedophile cases and was published under the authority line of a PAC called “Protect Cecil’s Children.” But that PAC was really primarily financed by yet another PAC—“Republicans of Cecil County,” that has not filed required reports to the state elections board. Both PACs were organized by individuals with longstanding political ties to Del. Michael Smigiel (R-36), who was resoundingly defeated when he ran in 2012 for a Circuit Court judgeship. Judicial candidates run on a non-partisan basis in the primaries of both the Democratic and Republican parties. Baynes, a Republican, and Jane C. Murray, a Democrat, had been appointed to fill two Circuit Court vacancies and under state law were required to [&#8230;]]]></description>
