		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy has proposed his first budget that breaks with years of deficit-financed spending policies in the county but takes the politically risky road of raising property and income taxes to pay for county services. Property taxes would rise by $100 a year for a home valued at $200,000, while local income tax rates would rise from 2.8 percent to 3 percent. McCarthy’s budget is a landmark fiscal blueprint in recent county budget history, clearly setting out the costs of services that county citizens have demanded—for schools, libraries and public safety—and asks county residents if they are willing to put their money where their mouths are. Unlike the past four budgets advanced by his predecessor, Tari Moore&#8211;which relied on substantial drains on reserve funds accumulated over many years as safeguards against fiscal and weather emergencies&#8211; McCarthy’s budget is fully funded by actual revenues expected in the Fiscal 2018 budget year, which begins 7/1/2017. “This is my budget,” McCarthy said in announcing his proposals on Friday (3/31/2017.) “I will take full responsibility, be you like it or like it not.” McCarthy was sworn into office in December, 2016. County budget officials calculate that the “unassigned fund balance” reserve [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Council voted late Thursday afternoon in Elkton to support most of County Executive Tari Moore’s Fiscal 2014 budget proposal, repeatedly rejecting proposals by Councilors Diana Broomell (R-4) and Michael Dunn to (R-3) to slash money for county public schools, public safety and public works projects. The votes showed the intentions of the majority of the Council on a wide range of budget issues but are not yet final or binding. The Council must adopt a county budget in a formal legislative session on Tuesday 5/21/13, and some of the amendments voted down on Thursday could be presented again. But on most points, the intent of the majority was clear and few if any changes are expected. Most tallies came on a 3-2 vote, with Council President Robert Hodge (R-5), Vice President Alan McCarthy (R-1) and Councilor Joyce Bowlsbey (R-2) voting together to oppose the spending cuts endorsed by Broomell and Dunn. Hodge brought a list of possible cuts to the meeting as possible lesser reduction alternatives but he didn’t offer most of them when the Broomell-Dunn proposals were defeated. The key decisions made by the Council Thursday were: &#8211;Endorsement of the hiring of five additional Sheriff’s deputies, [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The renowned Christiana Care Health System’s hospital and trauma center in Delaware recently opened a satellite “Emergency Department” in Middletown that provides a new source of medical services to southern Cecil County, Maryland residents—but local ambulance transport in emergencies is still a while away. The new $34 million, 36,500 square foot emergency medical services facility, located near the intersection of Brick Mill Road and Route 299 (adjacent to the Giant Food shopping center on the outskirts of town near Route 1) opened a few weeks ago in what hospital officials described as a low-key, “soft” opening on April 16. But the facility is already exceeding estimates of patient demand for services and is expected to move from “walk-in” patients only to ambulance-transported patients in the next few months. The hospital also has a helipad for helicopter transport of critically ill patients from the Middletown facility to the main Christiana Care hospital and trauma center in northern New Castle County, DE. (Christiana Care has consistently won top honors in national evaluations of state and regional hospitals.) Right now, the Middletown facility provides new closer-to-home medical services to southern Cecil County —an area that has been characterized by state and federal agencies [&#8230;]]]></description>
