		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS It was hardly a surprise when the Cecil County Council adopted, by a 3-2 majority vote Tuesday evening, a minimally revised version of County Executive Tari Moore’s proposed Fiscal 2015 budget. The key decisions had all been thrashed out at a worksession last week and another session Tuesday morning. But before the ink had even been applied to the final document, the budget was negative political fodder for some election candidates who’ve never shown up at a budget worksession or presentation to the Council by county department heads, and some who criticize the county public schools while demonstrating they could use some remedial English lessons. Even as the Council was meeting on the budget, one political challenger was sending out negative campaign robocalls and attacks. That prompted an unusually blunt response, in an email to county schools employees obtained by Cecil Times from confidential sources, by County Schools Superintendent D’Ette Devine—noting the voting records of two current Council members who have consistently opposed school program spending and advising about challenger candidates who also oppose education spending. The two Council members who voted against the county budget and who are both candidates for re-election—Councilors Diana Broomell (R-4) and Michael [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 2014 Cecil County political contests took an interesting turn this week when George Patchell, executive director of the local YMCA, filed as a Republican candidate for County Council in District 4 to seek the seat held by controversial incumbent Diana Broomell. And Michael A. Dawson—known locally as “MAD Mike”—withdrew his candidacy for a state Senate seat in a newly drawn Cecil and Harford county district. Patchell, the longtime executive director of the Cecil County YMCA and a local resident whose family is well known in the area, filed his candidacy on Wednesday for the Republican nomination for the District 4 County Council seat. That seat is currently held by Broomell, a Republican who has been aggressively at odds with her fellow GOP County Council members for over a year. Another Republican, Michael W. Dawson—known locally, and in his ballot filings, as “Good Mike”—had already filed to run against Broomell. MWD Dawson has taken pains to differentiate himself from Michael A. Dawson, a highly controversial former Perryville town commissioner known locally as “MAD Mike” Dawson, who had filed to run for a state Senate seat but this week withdrew his candidacy.

		<description><![CDATA[ANALYSIS When one-term Perryville town commissioner Michael A. Dawson declared a few months ago that he would not seek re-election to the post he had only won by one vote, town officials and many residents breathed a sigh of relief. During his brief two-year tenure, Dawson created a whirlwind of controversy, with online attacks and unsubstantiated accusations against fellow elected officials, town employees and even local businesspeople. It was the only government elective office he had ever won, despite numerous losing campaigns for County Commissioner, County Executive and mayor of Perryville. And his one-vote win on the town council was widely attributed to voter confusion of this Michael A. Dawson, a Prince George’s County transplant known locally as “MAD Mike,” with Michael W. Dawson&#8211; a Perryville resident with generations of family roots in the community and a former candidate for another state delegate seat in 2010. So when MAD Dawson said just a few months ago that he was retiring from local politics to spend more time with his family, most people took him at his word. But last week, MAD Dawson filed papers with the state Board of Elections declaring his candidacy in the Republican primary for a newly-redrawn [&#8230;]]]></description>
