		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County’s smallest town, Port Deposit (population 653 in the latest census) is gearing up for a vigorous campaign for mayor, with one current and two former mayors contending for the post in the upcoming May town election. It is a study in contrasts between small town dedication to service and some of our county-wide agenda-driven politics. Current Mayor Kerry Anne Abrams, a public schools paraprofessional assigned to Bainbridge elementary, has more time on the job than her rivals, Wayne Tome—also a former Cecil County Commissioner—and Rob Flayhart. Abrams served as mayor from 1996-99, filling a vacancy, before being elected in her own right in 2007. Tome served as the town’s mayor from 1999 to 2003, when he lost to Flayhart, who served as mayor from 2003 to 2007. Port’s residents are a hardy lot, stoically braving intermittent flooding from the adjacent Susquehanna River on a regular basis when the up-river Conowingo dam opens its floodgates as it did recently. It is a town of hopes and dreams, from its long ago heyday as a bustling port through decades of dwindling commerce and the closing of the Bainbridge naval facility to more recent dreams of revival and rebirth that often [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Commissioners again postponed a decision on creating a charter government advisory panel Tuesday but the Board President moved quickly to kill an airport authority proposal that had not been voted on by the full board. The perennially polite Commissioner Tari Moore (R-2) became angry at the attempt by Commissioner Board President James Mullin (R-1) to send a letter in the name of all the commissioners rejecting a request by the operator of the private Raintree airport that the county create an airport authority to oversee a county airport. The request was first briefly discussed in public at last week’s commissioners’ work session but no decision was reached or voted upon. But Mullin presented a letter to the airport operator on Tuesday claiming that the full board agreed that the county would not support creation of an airport authority. “If we’re going to be ‘transparent’,” Moore said, the president of the board should not be sending a letter purporting a position that has not been voted on by the full board. “I feel like three people made a decision” without consulting with all members of the five-member board and without a thorough review of the proposal, Moore said.

		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Board of Commissioners voted Tuesday to revise history, deleting or rewriting from the minutes of previous meetings statements that were made in public but some commissioners did not want in the printed record of their work sessions. The Commissioners have been arguing for weeks over the minutes of public and closed work sessions dating back to late January. After extensive revisions, mostly proposed by Commissioner Diana Broomell (R-4), a majority of Commissioners eventually approved minutes that were revised again at the last minute on Tuesday. But the most startling revision of the minutes was proposed by Commissioner Michael Dunn (R-3), who wanted to delete from the minutes of a February work session a potentially libelous attack he made on the Cecil County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Inc. The attack was witnessed, and reported upon, by three separate news organizations. [See report on that meeting and Dunn’s outburst here: https://ceciltimes.com/2011/02/dunn-dogs-and-libel-listening-to-his-masters-voice/ At the Tuesday 3/15/11 work session, Dunn declared that he wanted to delete from the minutes his comments “talking about my good friends at the SPCA.” But Commissioner Tari Moore (R-2) said, “I do remember your using the phrase ‘culture of corruption’ ” against [&#8230;]]]></description>
