		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES Special Report Cecil County Executive Danielle Hornberger secretly installed a former co-worker on the county Ethics Commission recently, despite the fact the County Council rejected her nomination to the panel in February. There was no notice given to the Council of the action, just a new inclusion of the woman’s name on the county website for the ethics panel and her apparent participation in a recent Zoom meeting. At the same time, there has been a veil of secrecy surrounding actions by the new ethics panel, with absent audio during the initial 4/20/2021 meeting, no posting on the county website of video from that meeting or a subsequent 6/3/2021 meeting, and failure to post minutes approved a week ago. (The County Council usually posts video of its meetings and approved minutes within 24 hours.) Council members also were not told that one of their favorite nominees to the ethics panel, Joe Graf, a former county teacher, had resigned the same day as the first meeting of the panel. That leaves a new vacancy on the five-member panel; so far Hornberger has not proposed or installed a new name for that slot. Due to the flawed handling of [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Council interviewed the five nominees from County Executive Danielle Hornberger to take over the county’s Ethics Commission at a Tuesday (2/9/2021) worksession, with members posing questions that mostly tiptoed around some of the key questions surrounding Hornberger’s decisions—and actions that could be a template for future wholesale removal of other county board memberships. The biggest unanswered question in the room was whether Andrew Goins, an associate pastor at Pleasant View Baptist Church, could set aside his church’s strong anti-LGBTQ and anti-gay marriage views to decide cases that might involve LGBTQ community members fairly and without bias. And there was also an unanswered question about how another nominee, a supposed Democrat, would consider potentially partisan matters. Apparently unknown to most Council members at the time, one nominee—Heather O’Rourke—only registered as a Democrat days before she was picked by Hornberger for the ethics panel. During her discussion with the Council, she repeatedly emphasized that her status as a Democrat would give her ‘independence’ and said she was experienced in standing up to people of other political views. County law requires that all members of the five-member ethics panel must be registered county voters and the panel may have “no [&#8230;]]]></description>
