ELKTON â After over an hour of public comment and additional discussion on the matter, the Cecil County Council voted to disregard the introduction of newly numbered resolutions regarding five appointees to the Cecil County Ethics Commission and to rescind its previous rejection of five similar resolutions that came before the council during its Jan. 19 meeting, and to have those appointments be considered during the councilâs Feb. 16 legislative meeting.
The procedural maneuvering came about due to perceived issues in the councilâs new resolutions, numbered 14 through 18, which sought to reintroduce five members previously appointed by County Executive Danielle Hornberger to the ethics commission. The matter was approved by a vote of 4-0 with Council Vice President Jackie Gregory (R-District 5) abstaining due to her desire to seek legal counsel before moving forward in the matter.
