		<description><![CDATA[A second Cecil County resident has died of the COVID-19 virus, the Cecil County Health Department reported Monday afternoon, after a man in his 80’s &#8212; who was a patient at the Calvert Manor nursing home in Rising Sun—died of the virus after an outbreak among patients and staff emerged in the past few days.. “Our condolences go out to the family and friends of the patient,” said County Executive Alan McCarthy. “Now more than ever, we must come together as a community to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect our county’s most vulnerable residents.” Lauren Levy, the county’s Health Officer, also said that a special state Health Department and National Guard “strike team” that the county had asked to be deployed to Calvert Manor visited the facility Saturday afternoon and determined that the facility was “taking appropriate steps to contain the outbreak.” She also said that the county health agency had obtained “additional testing supplies” from ChristianaCare/Union Hospital in Elkton “to identify any new cases” at the nursing home. The county previously recorded one other fatality from the virus, a man in his 80s with underlying medical conditions, who died at Union Hospital. As of mid-day Monday (4/13/2020), [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new US Supreme Court decision will cost Cecil County an estimated $1.3 million a year in future lost income tax revenues, and refunds for past taxes struck down by the court could cost the county up to $1.4 million more than previously expected. The fiscal bad news came as the Cecil County Council continued its long march through the minutiae of the $184.7 million Fiscal 2016 operating budget proposed by County Executive Tari Moore in April. The Council members have been going line-by-line, with virtually no amount too small to be questioned by the councilors, who have demanded detailed answers from county department heads and top administration officials. At times there have been testy exchanges between Council members and county employees, while Moore has been above the fray—she is reported to be out of the country on vacation. The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Maryland had improperly imposed the “piggyback” income tax, which is collected by the state but turned over to the 23 counties and Baltimore City, on income earned in other states. The state’s own income tax system allowed credits to offset taxes paid to other states by a citizen or business, but the credits were not [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Larry Hogan was sworn in as Maryland’s 62nd Governor on Wednesday 1/21/15, with an optimistic view of the state’s future and calls for bipartisanship to solve the state’s economic problems. But it will take much more than hope and optimism to solve massive budget shortfalls and to forge a new path in Annapolis. Under a light snowfall at the ceremonies outside the State House in Annapolis, Hogan took the oath of office in a feel-good event that highlighted his overwhelmingly successful election campaign themes to ‘change Maryland’ via lower taxes, fewer government regulations on business, and fiscal responsibility in state government. And those election themes, spoken by a moderate-sounding Republican with a personable and nice-guy image, resonated with state voters. “Today we celebrate a new beginning for Maryland,” Hogan said Wednesday. “Let us renew our sense of optimism. Together let’s make Maryland a place we can all be proud of again.” A rarity in recent state political history as a Republican governor in a majority Democrat state, Hogan repeatedly called for bipartisanship in his inaugural address, saying that his administration would seek “real bipartisan, common-sense solutions” to state problems. And, unlike the partisan divides in Washington, Hogan said, [&#8230;]]]></description>
