		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Which retirement account investment option would you prefer: 100% of $100,000 or 70% of $1 million? Seems like a no-brainer: $100,000 or $700,000 in your later-years pocket. But it took a while for the fiscal lightbulbs to be turned on at a Cecil County Council worksession on Tuesday (10/15/2019), after Councilor George Patchell and the county’s economic development director flipped the light switch. As a result, Councilor Jackie Gregory (R-5) lost a vote to challenge individual projects proposed for inclusion in “enterprise zone” economic development plans, and some of her initial supporters on the panel changed course. By the end of the day, Gregory acknowledged the obvious and supported approval of the enterprise zone list at an evening Council legislative meeting. At issue was legislation to designate five properties to be included on an application to the state of Maryland for possible designation as “enterprise zones,” which provide temporary property tax abatements for land on which new economic development projects are developed. Fundamentally, the zones give temporary property tax breaks at the state and county level during the first 10 years of a project, while greatly increasing the taxable value of the land due to the new development [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Economic Development officials are asking the County Council to approve a list of 20 properties to be added to Enterprise Zones, which receive property tax breaks and other incentives to promote new business opportunities. But some County Council members worried that citizen objections to the proposed mixed-use Southside/Southfields development should be addressed first. Sandra Edwards, county economic development manager, told the County Council on Tuesday (9/2/2019) that the new roster of properties proposed for addition to the Enterprise Zone list is facing a 10/15/2019 deadline for submission to the state and for that reason the County Council is being asked to grant “expedited” status to the request, holding a public hearing on 10/1/2019 and a vote on the legislation the same night. That didn’t sit well with Council President Bob Meffley (R-1), who said, “My phone’s been blowing up” with citizen objections to the Southside project, a mixed use development including industrial, retail and residential components on a 650-acre tract, between Pulaski Highway/Route 40 and Frenchtown Road, within the town limits of Elkton. The $700 million project is expected to include a sports park, about 1,000 single family homes and apartments, and 250 acres set aside for industrial [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   The Democratic primary for the 4th District county Commissioner&#8217;s seat is shaping up as one of the more expensive local campaigns of the year, with challenger Carl Roberts spending more than twice the campaign money of his opponent, incumbent Wayne Tome.   Roberts, the former superintendent of  Cecil County schools, is trying to unseat Tome, who won the 4th District slot four years ago. Tome is a batallion chief with the Baltimore County fire department, a longtime volunteer firefighter and paramedic with local fire companies, and the former mayor of Port Deposit.   Tome raised a total of $14,322 for his campaign and has spent $10,831, according to campaign finance reports filed through Sept. 3. His net cash on hand was $3,491. He had no loans to his campaign and financed his campaign out of current donations and fundraising events.  During the same period, Roberts raised $33,068,  including $15,000 in personal loans to his campaign. He has spent $28,458, according to reports filed with the State Board of Elections. His remaining bank balance was $4,611.    Roberts&#8217; campaign spent a total of $15,000, in three installments paid in April, May and June, to Dyekman Design of Chesapeake City for design of his website and campaign [&#8230;]]]></description>
