		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Call it the once-a-month soda budget: you’ll be able to treat yourself to an occasional large Coke at the drive-through under the slightly over a penny cut in property tax rates set in the new Fiscal 2022 budget proposed by County Executive Danielle Hornberger and approved by the Cecil County Council Tuesday night. (6/1/2021). But there won’t be COLAs of the financial sort for library employees and cuts to first responders pension fund contributions may have those dedicated professionals reaching for aspirin instead of a cold drink. In her budget for the fiscal year that begins on 7/1/2021, Hornberger sets the property tax rate at $1.0279 or slightly over a penny. (about 0.0135-cents) decrease from the current Fiscal 2021 rate of $1.0414, per $100 of assessed property valuation. So for a home assessed at a full value of $200,000, the property tax bill sent out this summer will be $26.94 less than last year’s annual bill. For a home with an assessed property value of $300,000, the new tax bill will yield a savings of $40.50—so add a mini-burger off the dollar menu to that monthly Coke. But for homeowners in the western area of the county whose [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Sheriff’s deputies have no riot gear to protect them in violent crowd situations and are so short-staffed that the agency could not respond to a request for help from the embattled Baltimore City Police Department during the past week, Sheriff Scott Adams told the Cecil County Council in Elkton on Thursday. “We currently do not have any riot gear,” Adams said. And after the Baltimore City Police Department asked the county to help them out during the recent rioting that occurred in the city following the death of an arrested man while in police custody, Adams said, “we didn’t have the equipment” to put deputies into such a dangerous situation. Furthermore, the Cecil County Sheriff’s department is currently so short-staffed on patrol duties that the agency could not spare the staff to send down to the city. “I’m sure this week has been eye-opening for you as we watched a city in our own state come under attack from violent criminals,” Adams told the County Council. But his agency was “limited” in its ability to respond to a call for help from the Baltimore PD due to Cecil County’s “manpower and equipment shortfalls.” But the county did back-fill [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Governor Larry Hogan delivered his first “state of the state” address on Wednesday 2/4/15, promising to reinstate some road aid to the counties—but the fiscal reality is that Cecil County might get just a few extra peanuts and not a substantive boost in state road and bridge repair aid that has been cut by over 90 percent in recent years. Hogan also promised some help for military, police and emergency responder retirees with a phase-in of income tax reductions on their retirement pensions. And, in fulfilling a campaign pledge, Hogan promised to seek repeal of the so-called “rain tax” imposed on Western Shore counties, but not Cecil County, to offset costs of dealing with storm water runoff that pollutes streams and the Chesapeake Bay. The new governor, who ran on a platform to make the state more “business-friendly,” also proposed revisions in the state’s “personal property” tax that is actually a business inventory tax and which has been cited by small business groups as a deterrent to new business location in the state. Of most significance to Cecil County was the new governor’s proposed revisions to his Fiscal 2016 budget—presented just a week ago and a few days after Hogan [&#8230;]]]></description>
