		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore has awarded nearly $400,000 in grants, derived from a local “impact” share of county revenues obtained from the Hollywood casino in Perryville, to a wide array of fire companies, veterans’ groups, social service and charities countywide. As overall revenues from the local casino continue to plummet—due to new competition primarily from the Arundel Live casino—the available local share of grant funds is expected to continue to decline in future years. In the past, the local “impact” grants were doled out by the County Commissioners and initially were restricted to western areas of the county closest to the casino. But a year ago, the commissioners opened up the grant process countywide. And this year, under the new Charter government, the County Executive had full authority to decide who got how much money. Most of Moore’s selections for grants were well-established community organizations and public safety operations, although a few raise questions about their rationale. Some recipients are locally based and some groups operate countywide. But despite the countywide eligibility of individual grant applicants, the new list includes only one group based in southern Cecil County. The largest grant&#8211; $50,000—went to the Town of Port Deposit to [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Commissioners are scheduled on Tuesday to review aid requests from non-profit groups for pieces of a $500,000 pie of local impact aid from the Hollywood Casino in Perryville, including a church seeking a new roof and a youth-oriented group&#8211; founded by a convicted federal felon and con-man&#8211; that has amassed hundreds of thousands of dollars in other local and state grants in the two years of its existence. A small advisory group recently reviewed applications for the local non-profit grants, which for the first time were opened up to organizations and programs from throughout the county. Last year—the first time such grants were offered—the grants were limited to western Cecil County groups only, located near the casino. Unlike last year, when all applicants were assigned points ratings on the basis of local impact criteria, this year’s recommended list does not provide relative rankings. Instead, the County Commissioners were presented on 7/3/12 with a recommended list of grantees in categories such as public safety, “prevention, education, training, youth” and “public service, economic/ community development.” Most of the applicants are well-known local charities and groups with a solid record of community service.
