		<description><![CDATA[COSTS OF LOCAL CHANGE, STATE CLOUT for CECIL The Cecil County Council is considering a proposed $157,000 budget amendment for severance pay costs to three ousted department heads under the new administration of Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy and to hire lobbyists in Annapolis to get the state government to pay more attention to the county’s economic development and transportation concerns. About $45,000 of the total is expected to cover the costs of one or two temporary lobbyists. At the Tuesday 12/20/16 County Council worksession, the panel discussed the proposal, and Council President Joyce Bowlsbey (R-2) noted that most of the requested funds were to cover the severance packages for the former department heads. Upon taking office in early December, McCarthy fired three department heads: Lisa Webb, the former economic development chief; Donna Nichols, human resources director; and Scott Mesneak, information technology chief for the county. Given that the firings were sudden (not to mention shortly before the holiday season) the county is offering transitional assistance, including some benefit costs required by state and federal laws. Councilor Dan Schneckenburger (R-3) questioned how much lobbyists would cost and what their role would be. Al Wein, the county Director of Administration, said [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil Whig is being sold by a Texas-based media company, which was owned primarily by foreign banks and investors, to a multi-state US family-led operation with no news background but a financially profitable string of businesses tied to recreational vehicles and a multi-millionaire with eclectic interests in French vineyards and music education. The announcement of the sale came in a conference call to local employees of the Whig and other area newspapers (including the Newark, DE Post, the Easton Star-Democrat and the Kent County News in Maryland) Thursday afternoon, sources said, with David Fike, president and publisher of the Chesapeake Publishing Group division of American Consolidated Media of Austin, TX. (Cecil Times has called Fike for comment on the sale and will update this report upon his response.) The ACM operation acquired Chesapeake Publishing Corp., longtime owners of the Whig and other Eastern Shore newspapers, in 2007 in a highly-leveraged buyout deal by an Australian-based media company through a US subsidiary. But the deal went sour before too long and a cadre of banks, lenders and moneymen called in the debts and took over. Required statements of ownership published in the Whig have listed General Electric Capital Corp., followed [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trash-talking is often par for the course in some of the rhetoric employed by at least one member of the Cecil County Council during the panel’s meetings, and Tuesday’s worksession was no exception. But at least some of the talk by another county official will turn trash into gold. Scott Flanigan, the county’s Director of Public Works, told the Council that a new contractor had proposed paying the county for handling recycling of paper, metals, cans, etc.—instead of the current contractor’s “zero-zero” approach that takes the recyclables at no cost to the county but also doesn’t share with the county any of the money obtained from selling some of the materials. The new vendor, ReCommunity Delaware, Inc., will give the county an 18 percent share of the “value of the stream” of recycled material, Flanigan said. In addition, the company will give the county a grant of $26,000 a year to be used to promote recycling to citizens. And the firm will also handle document shredding for the county government and for community personal document shredding events at no cost to the county government. The Delaware company, a subsidiary of a national operation that has been in business for decades, [&#8230;]]]></description>
