		<description><![CDATA[Lock up the official seal of the state Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC): Mike Smigiel, three-time loser in recent political campaigns including a bid for a Circuit Court judgeship in which he misappropriated the AOC seal, is at it again. The former state Delegate has filed applications for a gubernatorial appointment to both Circuit Court and District Court vacant seats on the Cecil County bench. Also filing an application for appointment to the Circuit Court bench is current Cecil County State’s Attorney Ellis (E.D.E) Rollins, a Republican whose father and grandfather were also judges. It has long been known in local legal and political circles that Rollins wanted to follow in the family footsteps to a court seat, and that he was especially interested in seeking the seat that recently became available due to the retirement of Judge V. Michael Whelan. (Whelan officially retired last fall, but has continued to fill-in on the local bench as a “senior” or retired judge with a limited caseload.) Rollins was previously passed over for a governor’s appointment to two seats on the Circuit Court. Rollins drew controversy in his past county State’s Attorney political campaign for unilaterally appointing his son to a [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Michael W. Dawson, a longtime Perryville resident and former candidate for a state delegate’s seat, has filed as a Republican candidate for the Cecil County Council in District 4 for the 2014 election—looking to replace the controversial incumbent, Councilor Diana Broomell (R). Michael W. Dawson (MWD) – NOT to be confused with another local political figure, Michael A. Dawson, known locally as MAD Mike (MAD)—ran as a Constitution Party candidate in 2010 for the delegate seat held by longtime incumbent David Rudolph, a Democrat. MWD Dawson held the balance of power in that three-way general election contest, winning some 750 votes that ended up tipping the election to Rudolph in a close race against Republican and “Campaign for Liberty” candidate Ted Patterson. [SEE Cecil Times election report here: https://ceciltimes.com/2010/11/rudolph-swims-against-gop-tide-in-delegate-win-sen-jacobs-re-elected/ ] “I’m concerned that, as a county, we are wasting precious time,” Dawson said in explaining his reasons for running for the County Council. Since the recent transition to Charter government, he said, County Executive Tari Moore has shown leadership but the County Council has been mired in internal bickering. “I’m a roots and wings type of leader,” Dawson said in an interview with Cecil Times, explaining that his approach would [&#8230;]]]></description>
