		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS If there is Karma in politics, Del. Kevin Hornberger (R-35B) is facing it: so confident of a re-election victory in a three-way race, he devoted much effort and political cash to promote allies of his wife, Cecil County Executive Danielle Hornberger, for the County Council in Tuesday’s Republican primary election. But he apparently failed to see the very real threat to his own legislative seat. And the chief target of the Hornbergers’ avalanche of glossy, negative and untrue flyers, incumbent Councilor Al Miller (R-3), is just five votes behind their own protégé, Bob Gatchell, an actor with a repertoire of cross-dressing drag show performances and a political newcomer. There are at least 1,026 Republican ballots still to be counted in a canvass of dropbox and mailed ballots that begins on Thursday 7/21/2022, according to state Board of Elections (BOE) data for Cecil County. Additional mail-in ballots may be received before a second canvass next week. It remains to be seen if Kevin Hornberger can hang on to or expand his small 43-vote margin of victory over Adam Streight, a county Sheriff’s Deputy and former president of the FOP Lodge 2 police union.

		<description><![CDATA[Major crimes in Cecil County declined significantly in 2015, according to new data submitted to state and federal authorities, but the number of murders increased and separate health reports showed drug overdose deaths continued to be a serious problem in the county for most of 2016. The Maryland State Police compiled data from its own operations as well as law enforcement at the county and town levels to produce the annual Uniform Crime Report (UCR) that provides the most complete picture of criminal activity and law enforcement efforts statewide. The report, covering the 2015 calendar year, was submitted to Gov. Hogan’s office in mid-December 2016. Overall, the crime rate in Cecil County fell by 10.7 percent in 2015, in comparison with 2014. But murders numbered 9, in comparison with 4 in 2014. The 2015 figures were also well above a five-year average of 5 murders per year. Motor vehicle theft showed a sharp increase—33.7 percent—with 123 incidents reported in 2015. But most other categories of serious crimes showed modest to significant declines, according to the new report. Aggravated assaults declined by over 31 percent; reported rape cases dropped by 18.4 percent; robberies declined by 14.9 percent; larceny/theft incidents dropped by [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wearing a mourning band around his Sheriff’s badge to honor the sadly growing roster of recently murdered law enforcement officers across the nation, Cecil County Sheriff Scott Adams warned the Cecil County Council on Tuesday that despite gains in preventing fatal overdoses and heightened enforcement efforts against drug traffickers, there are “scary” trends in the illegal drug world that could worsen the drug abuse problem in the county. Compounding the problem has been a time-lag in “trend” and “threat assessment” information from federal agencies, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), that makes data available long after police on the streets are seeing quickly shifting patterns in illegal drugs sold by dealers. “The trends change so quickly,” Adams said, and a growing threat is fentanyl—a powerful opioid and anesthetic that dealers are mixing with heroin&#8211;that had previously bypassed Cecil County. But in 2015, there were 7 fentanyl drug deaths in Cecil County—a sharp increase from the 1 death recorded in 2014 and zero deaths in the county due to fentanyl in 2013. So far this year, there has already been 1 fentanyl-related death in Cecil County during the first four months of the year, according to new state health data [&#8230;]]]></description>
