		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Never say never in Cecil County government and politics. But sometimes it’s politically wise to say “maybe.” After months of resistance by colleagues to a demand by County Commissioner/Councilor Diana Broomell (R-4) to hire a County Council “auditor” to investigate spending and operations of the new County Executive, suddenly the position surfaced as a budget priority on Tuesday. During discussion at a Council budget “workshop,” it was disclosed for the first time that the County Council proposed inclusion in its budget of a “Council auditor” position. Broomell has insisted that such a position is needed as an independent watchdog on the County Executive and to provide “checks and balances” between the two branches of county government under the new Charter system. But the budget proposal and political reality might not be the same thing. Under the speeded-up budget process under Charter this year, County Executive Tari Moore obtained spending proposals from the new Council for its own operations and included them in her overall budget proposal unveiled earlier this month. Individual Council members also submitted their suggestions for the spending plan for council operations, sources said. “That’s a courtesy I extended to them,” Moore told Cecil Times, explaining [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Cecil Times Special Report The Cecil County Commissioners decided in a recent closed door meeting to turn down—on the usual 3-2 vote&#8211; a proposed new school of technology on the Elkton site of the vacant Basell property that already has science labs and could be bought and renovated for about one-third the cost of past plans to build a tech school from scratch. The proposal would have jumpstarted the long delayed plans by the school system to upgrade vocational and technical education opportunities for high school students in Cecil County. And it could have been a cost-saving, landmark opportunity for the county to create an education/technology/business park on the 91-acre site that could be a lure for economic development and partnerships with other business and educational institutions. For several months, the County Commissioners and representatives of the School Board and Cecil County Public Schools officials have been meeting privately to discuss the opportunity to acquire the property. (The state Open Meetings law allows closed sessions to discuss real estate acquisitions.) Cecil Times has known from the outset about the proposed project and its location but refrained from publishing details, at the request of multiple sources, due to the sensitive [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Commissioners Tuesday adopted operating and capital improvement budgets that will give property owners their second consecutive “Happy Meal” tax cut— yielding savings of about the cost of a family’s fast-food meal—while delaying many construction projects. But unlike last year’s contentious budget process, this year the County Commissioners were unanimous in their support of the Fiscal 2013 budget plans, and several members praised their colleagues for the civil tone and collegial attitude that Commissioners displayed in this year’s budget process. And unlike last year’s budget—which hit the county public schools hard and siphoned teacher and staff support funds from the schools’ operating budget for a last minute half-cent cut in the property tax rate&#8211; this time around the overall county capital (construction) budget took the hit, by delaying projects and the costs that would have been paid out in Fiscal 2013, which begins 7/1/12. As a result, the county will knock off a half-cent from the “constant yield” property tax rate—defined as the amount of property tax revenues needed to equal those of the previous budget year—that the Commissioners had earlier proposed and put out to a public hearing two weeks ago. The final action on Tuesday, approved [&#8230;]]]></description>
