    Can you break this down even further? The good people of Cecil county want to know. What local impact grants are given out? Why is the money going to government agencies like police? What are you doing for the local youth? It seems that the money is really going to things that the residents do not know about. We only wanted a casino in our area to help with education,taxes and programs that the youth and elderly need. How about coming clean and telling us a long breakdown of where the cash is going to. I think the FBI should check ito this. We know what the money is supposed to go to. We just want a clear explanation not a table graph.

    Guest: Thank your for your comment. Local impact grant funds (5.5% of all slots revenue) are distributed to Cecil County on a monthly basis. In FY2012 thus far, over $8.45 million dollars has gone to the county. Once the grant funds are released to the county, Cecil County has full control and authority over how it is spent. We would recommend contacting your County Commissioner’s Office at 410.996.5201 or your local elected officials for more information on how the funds are utilized.
