		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Many years ago, a crusty, elderly Vermont senator had a solution to end the long Vietnam war: “Declare victory and leave.” But both sides in a war between the town of Rising Sun and the Cecil County government&#8211;over town plans for a major expansion of water service to rural areas, to defray some of the costs of its new $10.5 million water system&#8211; are declaring victory, after a state agency made two relatively minor concessions to the town while accepting the county’s insistence to protect rural and farm areas from development. One side in the local feud seems unwilling to “leave” the battlefield anytime soon. While the county adopted a low-key matter-of-fact tone with presentation of relevant documents, the Town of Rising Sun and its mayor, Travis Marion, went on the political offensive. In particular, portions of the town’s official statement claiming victory in the MDE’s decisions and posted on social media could make a libel lawyer salivate at the potential for a high-fee case. The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) recently approved Cecil County’s updated Master Water and Sewer Plan with two changes sought by the Town of Rising Sun: inclusion of possible future town water [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Delaware is considering coming up with money to repair southern Cecil County roads damaged by trucks that have clogged local rural roads while evading new tolls on Route 301 near the state line and Middletown, DE, according to a letter released by Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy. McCarthy said Friday (3/15/2019) that he spoke by phone recently with Jennifer Cohan, Secretary for Delaware’s Department of Transportation (DELDOT) about the problems plaguing the Warwick and Cecilton areas since the recent opening of the Route 301 tollroad, which is intended to bypass local traffic in Middletown. But the high toll rates&#8211; $4 for cars and up to $14 for trucks for a distance of just a few miles—has had the effect of dumping large volumes of traffic onto local Cecil County roads as drivers seek to avoid paying the tolls. In a letter to McCarthy after their conversation, Cohan said DELDOT would post multiple new signs in the area, continue to support joint Delaware-Maryland truck weight enforcement efforts, and would “entertain the possibility of funding road paving in your county for roads that have been impacted by either the construction of US Rt. 301 or the subsequent toll avoidance traffic.” Cohan included [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS It was a snowy December night in Middletown, DE a decade or so ago, when the Delaware Department of Transportation (DELDOT) held a public meeting to showcase its plans for a Route 301 toll road around the rapidly growing town. Mark Tudor, the project director, glibly touted the glossy pictures and charts around the room, and responded dismissively to citizens’ questions. But he wasn’t quite prepared for Santa Claus. Outside the meeting, Dr. David Beste, a veterinarian and owner of the Middletown Veterinary Hospital, wore a Santa suit, accompanied by a four-legged crew of protestors, with faux antlers on their heads and signs around their necks. “I need my Vet;” “Don’t take my Doc,” and “Pets, not trucks,” were a few of the canine complaints. DELDOT wanted to put toll booths and/or approach lanes for toll collection on the hospital property, located at the intersection of 301 and Del. 299, taking a huge swath of the site where Beste had just completed a major expansion and renovation of his hospital, located a short distance from Warwick in Cecil County, MD. The road plan would have made his property unusable for a vet hospital and negated his major investment [&#8230;]]]></description>
