		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS It was a snowy December night in Middletown, DE a decade or so ago, when the Delaware Department of Transportation (DELDOT) held a public meeting to showcase its plans for a Route 301 toll road around the rapidly growing town. Mark Tudor, the project director, glibly touted the glossy pictures and charts around the room, and responded dismissively to citizens’ questions. But he wasn’t quite prepared for Santa Claus. Outside the meeting, Dr. David Beste, a veterinarian and owner of the Middletown Veterinary Hospital, wore a Santa suit, accompanied by a four-legged crew of protestors, with faux antlers on their heads and signs around their necks. “I need my Vet;” “Don’t take my Doc,” and “Pets, not trucks,” were a few of the canine complaints. DELDOT wanted to put toll booths and/or approach lanes for toll collection on the hospital property, located at the intersection of 301 and Del. 299, taking a huge swath of the site where Beste had just completed a major expansion and renovation of his hospital, located a short distance from Warwick in Cecil County, MD. The road plan would have made his property unusable for a vet hospital and negated his major investment [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Council members were all aboard the budget bus Tuesday evening (4/25/2017) when they reviewed Fiscal 2018 spending plans for the county’s bus transit, senior citizens’ and other programs, even as the services have grown in size and scope. The Council is looking for ways to save money in the upcoming budget year, in an effort to mitigate proposed increases in the county property tax rate and a rise in the “piggyback” income tax rate. But there didn’t seem to be any inclination to trim anything from the $2.58 million it costs the county to operate the Department of Community Services. The department, headed by David Trolio, had a mini-bus service and seniors’ programs at the core of its portfolio for many years, but on his watch the agency has grown to include animal services, health-related programs, youth assistance, housing aid, and broader transportation planning projects as well as greatly expanded bus services. Trolio said he anticipated bus ridership of almost 100,000 seats filled during the current Fiscal 2017 budget year. The department gets most of its financial support from federal and state aid programs, as well as fees paid by bus riders and users of other services, which [&#8230;]]]></description>
