		<description><![CDATA[News Analysis It was almost like watching the Elkton version of “Sunset Boulevard” &#8212; the classic movie in which forgotten silent film star Norma Desmond pathetically declares, “Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up”&#8211; when the new Cecil County Council held its last formal session of the year Tuesday. Deadlocked again, the Council abdicated its role in filling a vacant District 2 seat and as a result, new County Executive Tari Moore will get to pick her own successor on the Council. Moore also stepped into the breech of a previous deadlock, when she was still a member of the old board of County Commissioners, over selection of a land preservation map mandated by the state. So she took action administratively to send to Annapolis a less-restrictive “tier” map (Map 10) that only includes lands already in preservation, such as parkland or farms that owners have voluntarily enrolled in farmland protection programs. If the county had not submitted its own map by 12/31/12, the state could have imposed a much more restrictive map on county land. “This map protects the property rights of our landowners, as well as the property rights of those with development currently going through the approval [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Inc. (CCSPCA) has withdrawn its bid to resume animal control services to the Cecil County government, citing what the group’s lawyer called a “tainted” county bidding process. The CCSPCA’s withdrawal leaves one bidder, A Buddy for Life, Inc., a Delaware-based volunteer dog rescue with no shelter, no experience in animal control services, and no employees. However, the group is believed to be planning to sub-contract with other individuals and entities to share in the workload and money received from the county. A review panel, consisting of senior county officials, met with representatives of the Buddy group Thursday morning to hear an oral presentation and discuss areas of concern. The group is expected to submit a final proposal based upon the discussion, according to County Administrator Al Wein and County Attorney Norman Wilson. They also said that Commissioner Diana Broomell (R-4), who had earlier said she wanted to sit in on the review team’s meeting with bidders, did not attend the session. The review panel had also been slated to meet with the CCSPCA on Thursday but that session was cancelled after Michael J. Halter, the organization’s volunteer attorney, delivered [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SHH—don’t tell anyone. The Cecil County Commissioners named two new members to the county’s Ethics Commission on Tuesday, but their applications seeking appointment, listing their resumes and why they wanted the post, are a secret. For months, the commish have been having closed door meetings to discuss various appointments to boards and commissions, which they are permitted to do under the state’s Open Meetings Act when debating the relative merits of various candidates. But suddenly, the one word agenda item—“appointments”—appeared on Tuesday’s formal commissioner meeting schedule. In rapid fire action with no verbal or written disclosure to the public of the appointees’ backgrounds or reasons for their selection, the commish approved two new members of the ethics panel: Mike Dixon and Robert Boonstoppel. The appointments were ratified without comment on a 4-member vote, with Commissioner Robert Hodge (R-5) abstaining. Cecil Times filed a written public information act request to obtain the applications which all candidates for appointments to county boards and commissions must fill out to be considered. However, in a written response from the county attorney, Norman Wilson, we were advised that the applications “should not be disclosed as they are protected under SG Section 10-616 (i) ‘personnel records.’ [&#8230;]]]></description>
