		<description><![CDATA[Amidst charges of “cronyism,” the Cecil County Commissioners Tuesday voted, 3-2, to appoint Skip Yust, the former political campaign treasurer for Commissioner Michael Dunn (R-3), to a seat on the important planning commission. Dunn lashed out at critics of the appointment, accusing them of an “orchestrated effort” that was “shameful.” Members of the Cecil County Patriots, the local ‘tea party’ organization, spoke out against the Yust appointment, as they had against’ Dunn’s previously hand-picked appointee, Owen Thorne. Thorne served a brief interim appointment on the planning panel but withdrew his name for a four-year term after the Patriots’ group highlighted his posts on Facebook, including “potty-mouthed” comments and references to a male body part. Under county commissioner tradition, the available seat was Dunn’s to fill, with approval of fellow commissioners. After Thorne’s withdrawal, Dunn picked Yust, who served as campaign treasurer for Dunn’s 2010 campaign for county commissioner.. Yust is also a former Rising Sun town commissioner and political ally of Commissioner Diana Broomell (R-4) in local Republican and land use groups.

		<description><![CDATA[Owen Thorne, the controversial interim appointee to the Cecil County Planning Commission who was expected to get appointed to a full three-year term on Tuesday, is out and the political campaign treasurer for Commissioner Michael Dunn (R-3) – Skip Yust —is in. Under informal County Commissioner procedures, the seat is Dunn’s to fill, with approval of a majority of the county board. Dunn, who had engineered the interim appointment of Thorne, said that Thorne had asked to have his name withdrawn and that Yust would be his choice for the seat. Yust is a former Rising Sun town commissioner and a political ally of, and campaign contributor to, both Dunn and Commissioner Diana Broomell (R-4). Dunn made the surprise announcement at Tuesday morning’s commissioners worksession, just hours before the Commissioners were due to vote at their formal evening meeting on a candidate— expected to be Thorne&#8211; to fill the Planning Commission seat. Given the suddenness of his choice, Dunn agreed to postpone a final decision on the Yust appointment until fellow commissioners had time to review it. But Yust’s political alliances, and campaign donations, indicate he will win ultimate approval from the usual three-vote majority on the current county Board [&#8230;]]]></description>
