Gordon Turner was in possession of an overdue U-Haul and was attempting to escape from police when he jumped a curb. A University of Delaware third-year doctoral student was tragically killed, and others seriously injured. This, of course, should never have happened. Turner was charged with attempted murder in 2023 when he fired shots at a vehicle on Elkton Road. With this incident he faced 32 criminal charges and two counts of attempted murder.

York Building Products is scheduled to come before the Appeals Board of Cecil County for the fourth time on June 23, 2025 for their Special Exception #4302. York will have paid their experts to come up with favorable results for them. Every move we have tried to make, the county has shut us down while letting York present power points with no time limits on speaking. Not us! Sometimes it is hard to tell if we are fighting York Building Products or Cecil County Zoning.

Will Andy Harris Stand Up for Due Process Rights? As the one Republican U.S. Representative from Maryland, what is Andy Harris doing to speak out against the illegal imprisonment of Maryland resident Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia in a foreign prison by the Trump administration?

The comments Darlene McCall made in her Cecil Whig Letters to the Editor last fall (November 29 and December 6, 2024) had particular resonance for us in the opposite end of the county: different issue but similar concerns to actions by the Board of Appeals. Several attempts have been made to develop a PUD (Planned Unit Development) at the property on the corner of Barksdale and Valley Roads, but until last year, have been unsuccessful because of sound decision making by the Planning Commissions.

Anyone can stop a war by conceding everything valuable. Trump seems to think he will be a hero by stopping the Russian war on Ukraine by giving in to Russia. That would be a dreadful diplomatic failure and history would judge him extremely harshly if he did it. Everyone wants the war to end, but no one should want Putin to win when Russia invaded Ukraine. This administration’s abysmal handling of the Russian invasion of Ukraine will take two LTEs to illuminate.

The town of Charlestown wrote a great letter to the Cecil County Appeals Board about York Building Products’ Special Exception #3402 to change their zoning from Northern Agricultural Residential to mining. Our concern group is so thankful for Perryville’s and Charlestown’s support. One of the main issues that Charlestown addressed was their water aquifer. It is recharge from the surrounding area including where York wants their Special Exception to do mining.
