		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Cecil County Executive Danielle Hornberger has lobbed an insult-laden video attack on the County Council for daring to disagree with her on an Elkton town land annexation case, claiming in a fact-free screed that Councilors were “bought and paid for” by developers—despite the fact that most of the Councilors had minimal campaign donations of any kind while she accepted multiple large donations from real estate interests. In addition, Hornberger’s appointed county attorney—Lawrence Scott, an Annapolis political consultant and lobbyist who never appeared in any state courtroom or even entered written legal representation on behalf of a client, according to the state Courts database—has tried to bully the Council on several issues, including solar panel farm legislation and the annexation case. Scott even made up his own facts recently to rail against and try to block cameras on school buses to catch car drivers who illegally pass a bus. The cameras are provided at no charge by a private firm that will collect fines and split the revenues with the county schools. Scott claimed the Sheriff’s Office would have to hire several new deputies to review the videos. But the Council called Major George Stanko from the audience and [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WILL SPACE ALIENS CAPTURE RISING SUN? Cecil County politics is known for the wild and weird, from the many misadventures of the “Three Amigos” on the County Commissioners board to a nose-biting incident at a polling place on election day. Just when you thought that, several years into Charter government, things had changed for the better, or at least become more sane, now we have an out-of-this-world conspiracy theory put forward on social media by a two-time election loser who still harbors dreams of a comeback in the next election. Space aliens from Elkton secretly harbor a dastardly scheme to kidnap the town of Rising Sun, suspend its charter and confiscate the whole town, to be consumed by the County Executive—no doubt seasoned with some salsa on the side. After all, the purveyor of this science fiction conspiracy, which he calls “a theory,” tried to stoke fears of illegal aliens invading the county in his two most recent losing campaigns for county office, even though federal and state census and planning data show no influx of foreign-born residents. But the census didn’t include SPACE ALIENS! So, his new “theory” must be true, or at least suitable for Facebook fantasies. The [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Which came first: the chicken or the executive order? After months of loud citizens versus farmers feuding over the future of large chicken farms in Cecil County with no clear resolution in sight, there are now some menu alternatives on the county government’s plate: a largely symbolic “executive order” proposed by County Executive Alan McCarthy late Friday afternoon (3/3/2017) and a broader review of county zoning laws&#8211; especially where they are even more lax than the poultry industry is willing to accept&#8212;suggested by County Councilor George Patchell (R-4) on Tuesday (3/7/2017). It’s almost like a menu choice between a plain hard-boiled egg and a delicate frittata with a choice of tasty add-ins. But both chefs are being careful to respect the basic ingredients in their recipes. Cecil County local government meetings have been dominated for the past six months by a small but very vocal group of angry north county residents complaining about a planned chicken farm near Calvert, and a growing contingent of farmers speaking out about what they see as a “newcomers” assault on their rights to conduct their operations under long-established “freedom to farm” laws. It has been a clash that has caught up the [&#8230;]]]></description>
