		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT Cecil County Executive Tari Moore has signed options to buy two animal kennels—one a small private facility in a residential area in North East and also the much larger Cecil County SPCA shelter in Chesapeake City—at $400,000 each, but has not decided which site, or both, to buy at taxpayer expense. Also, Moore has now cut in half an earlier request for an extra $24,000 to boost an unbid, six-month contract with the current Buddy for Life animal control contractor to care for animals—after CECIL TIMES exposed a hidden loophole in her contract extension that would have put even more money in the group’s pocket despite a Council budget cut. Moore held a secret, closed door session with the County Council on Tuesday, 1/12/16 at which she outlined two shelter purchase options her administration has signed. Earlier in the day, at a public worksession of the County Council, several members criticized the administration’s unilateral six-month extension of a previous three-year contract with A Buddy for Life, Inc. for animal control and animal sheltering operations at the rented Rainwood Kennels in Elkton—and Moore’s plan to boost payments to the Buddies by $24,000 over the county budget [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS The Cecil County Council, confronted by anguished parents and supporters of Girl Scouts who say they suffered racial slurs after they spoke up at a meeting of the county’s animal control oversight panel, is now pressing the County Executive for action to resolve long-standing issues surrounding the county’s animal control contractor, A Buddy for Life, Inc. In response, County Executive Tari Moore then announced that she would suspend operations of the citizens’ oversight panel&#8211; which held quarterly public, audiotaped meetings at which citizens could speak about animal issues&#8211; and bring full oversight of the Buddies directly into her administration. The oversight panel itself was not involved in the alleged racially-insensitive incidents after its meeting, and witnesses claimed it was supporters of the Buddies who instigated the alleged incident. During morning and evening meetings of the Council on 5/5/15, Council members expressed shock and dismay over the alleged incidents, which were first reported by the Cecil Times on 5/4/15.

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County’s animal control oversight panel that monitors a private contractor, handling stray animals at taxpayer expense, has lost two members who resigned recently after what some say was “bullying” by the contractor, A Buddy for Life, Inc. And after a meeting last week, Girl Scouts who had questioned the shelter operations say they suffered racially-tinged remarks telling Black children to “go back to Baltimore.” At the same time, Cecil County Executive Tari Moore and her administration have stood by the Buddies group and current control of the Animal Care and Control Oversight Commission (ACCOC) by pro-Buddies allies. Moore has also indicated in her budget that she is not looking for cost-savings in animal control operations even though the Buddies’ contract expires mid-budget year. At a meeting last week, several Girl Scouts from nearby Delaware attended the session as part of their efforts to learn about and attend government meetings. Three of the young girls spoke, in child-like voices that could barely be heard on the official audiotape of the meeting, for a minute or less each to urge humane treatment of the animals at the taxpayer-supported Buddies shelter located at a rented kennel in Elkton.
