It is disheartening to witness the highest paid public official in our county resorting to manipulative practices and extortionary tactics in an attempt to apply public pressure to influence the budgetary process. Cecil County taxpayers provide Dr. Lawson with an annual salary of nearly a quarter of a million dollars. And in return he provides Cecil County residents, which he is not, with declining enrollment, abysmal proficiency levels, and now a steady stream of propaganda.urn:store:1:news:blog:59http://cecilgop.org/maryland-general-assembly-legislative-update-for-january-23-2024Maryland General Assembly Legislative Update for January 23, 2024Last week, Governor Wes Moore unveiled his proposed FY25 Budget and it is a disaster. While economists and lawmakers warn of an impending budget crisis, he is continuing his reckless spending streak with hundreds of millions of dollars being thrown at new programs. Meanwhile, to pay for it, he is proposing raiding the state's rainy day fund, slashing funding for core government services, and allowing the budget deficit to continue. The legislature will now spend the next several months debating, reviewing, and amending the budget, and it is critical for our state's fiscal future that we fight against these proposals.urn:store:1:news:blog:58http://cecilgop.org/2024-republican-public-safety-agenda2024 Republican Public Safety AgendaThe Maryland House and Senate Republican Caucuses have released their public safety agenda for the 2024 MGA Legislative Sessionurn:store:1:news:blog:57http://cecilgop.org/cecil-whigs-fake-news-false-claimsCecil Whig's Fake News - false claimsAn article published in the Cecil Whig has falsely claimed that Renee Dixon was a member of the Cecil County Republican Central Committee, and inferred that was the nature of our support for her right to free expression.

Not only has he lost his temper, shouted down commission members, and been the deciding vote in ruling out the only maps offered by another member of the commission, but he is also using his post to stall, convolute, and steer the redistricting process. The Redistricting Plan must be presented to the Council no later than November 15th. Due to a Council created crisis, the Redistricting Commission was not formed until only a few weeks ago, leaving little time for the important redistricting process to play out. Not only has the Council handcuffed the ability of the redistricting commission to be thorough and independent, but they have also placed their puppet in the driver’s seat.urn:store:1:news:blog:47http://cecilgop.org/patchell-resigns-from-cecil-county-councilPatchell Resigns from Cecil County CouncilPer the language of the Cecil County Charter, the responsibility for filling this vacancy falls to the Cecil County Republican Central Committee.
