		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS The Cecil County Council has approved a $140,000 budget boost in the current fiscal year to cover overspending by the county’s Animal Services agency, despite questions about a massive intake of cats under a policy that is not consistent with county or state laws. And new calls for review of county animal law raise the specter of a re-play of a previous three-year bitter fight over the current law that featured fierce opposition by cat advocates to any regulations of owned cats or feral cat colonies. On a unanimous 5-0 vote in Elkton on Tuesday (5/7/2019), the County Council approved the budget amendment to transfer funds in the current fiscal year, drawn from budget “reserve” fund accounts that are supposed to be off-limits to routine spending. The Animal Services overspending was signaled, at a lower level of nearly $67,000, in the county’s budget estimates report for the second quarter of the current Fiscal 2019 budget year in a report to the Council issued in early February. But that early warning was not flagged for the Council at the time and members indicated they felt blindsided by the new $140,000 budget amendment thrown at them a few weeks ago.
