		<description><![CDATA[The Democratic primary election candidates for Cecil County Executive and two new County Council seats had some mostly gentle disagreements with each other during a candidate forum Wednesday evening, in contrast to some of the more embattled discord among members of the county’s current all-Republican government. The forum, sponsored by Cecil County Democrats and held at Cecil College, featured separate panels for the County Executive candidates—Pam Howard, Robert McKnight and Winston Robinson—and those running in the party’s primary for County Council. James Crouse, the former mayor of Elkton, is running unopposed in the Democratic primary in District 5 while Garrett Billmire and Pamela Bailey are contending against each other in District 1. Crouse provided some of the most interesting and detailed proposals of the evening, saying that the county should consider some of the revenue-raising ideas he advanced while a councilman and mayor of the county’s largest town for about 24 years. He suggested the county should institute a hotel room tax to garner revenues needed to pay for county services without burdening local residents. He said the Elkton hotel tax generates over $1 million a year just from those establishments located in town limits. Such fees or “nuisance taxes” [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CECIL CHATTER: Sen. E.J. Pipkin’s Birthday Gift: GOP Leadership So state Sen. E.J. Pipkin (R-36) hit the big 55 on Tuesday, 11/1/11, and fielded a lot of birthday greetings on his Facebook wall. But the best present he got was selection by fellow Republicans as their leader in the state Senate for the 2012 session. While Pipkin was responding with a lot of repetitive ‘thank you’ messages to birthday well-wishers on Facebook, he really should have been sending a few dozen roses to Sen. Nancy Jacobs (R-Cecil/Harford). Jacobs recently announced she would step down as Senate Minority Leader so as to focus on other potential political races. Jacobs’ decision—which may very well have been a pragmatic and pre-emptive move based upon a sub-rosa Pipkin campaign to oust her from the top GOP leadership spot in the state Senate—then cleared the way for Pipkin to win the leadership post from the tiny 12-member GOP caucus. During the 2011 session, Pipkin was the second-ranking Senate Republican, serving as GOP Whip to Jacob’s Minority Leader status. Pipkin and his House of Delegates drill sergeant, Del. Michael Smigiel (R-36), have been garnering headlines and TV time with their made-for-sound-bites “war on rural Maryland” campaign [&#8230;]]]></description>
