		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS The horror of the Texas school shooting had not yet reached national network newscasts when the Cecil County Council convened Tuesday (5/24/2022) to consider County Executive Danielle Hornberger’s proposed Fiscal 2023 budget. Four members were unwilling to offer any amendments or changes to the budget but Council President Bob Meffley (R-1) had a small surprise up his sleeve: a deal he cut hours before with Hornberger to provide $240,000 to county schools “small capital projects” outside the regular budget framework in a supplemental spending proposal to be submitted to the Council later in the year. That amount is the precise figure needed to construct a secure vestibule at one county school. But it still leaves multiple county school buildings without the security upgrades deemed necessary by school facilities experts. Hornberger refused to fund any secure vestibule upgrades sought last year and her new budget only provides for one. But funding and timing uncertainties on the budgeted vestibule project and the promise made to Meffley mean that the two projects won’t be built until next summer, according to CCPS officials.

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Many years ago, a crusty, elderly Vermont senator had a solution to end the long Vietnam war: “Declare victory and leave.” But both sides in a war between the town of Rising Sun and the Cecil County government&#8211;over town plans for a major expansion of water service to rural areas, to defray some of the costs of its new $10.5 million water system&#8211; are declaring victory, after a state agency made two relatively minor concessions to the town while accepting the county’s insistence to protect rural and farm areas from development. One side in the local feud seems unwilling to “leave” the battlefield anytime soon. While the county adopted a low-key matter-of-fact tone with presentation of relevant documents, the Town of Rising Sun and its mayor, Travis Marion, went on the political offensive. In particular, portions of the town’s official statement claiming victory in the MDE’s decisions and posted on social media could make a libel lawyer salivate at the potential for a high-fee case.
