The state of Maryland

By Michael Swartz (noreply@blogger.com)

As he is bound to do, Governor O'Malley delivered the State of the State Address earlier this week. While the state has challenges, Martin was optimistic for our future because a new Sheriff was in town a few miles down the road in Washington, D.C.

Dismisses Special Election Plan

“By leaving early, his constituents are either going to be left without representation or Marylanders are going to be left holding the $2 million price tag to fill the vacant seat,” Pelura said in a statement.

House Republicans call on O’Malley to ‘Uphold the Constitution’

ANNAPOLIS- The House Republican Caucus called on Gov. Martin O’Malley to issue new death penalty regulations at an afternoon press conference in Annapolis, today, charging that his refusal to do so was in violation of the state Constitution.

Republican lawmakers reaffirmed their support for the death penalty, and demanded the legislature pass House Bill (HB) 1250, the Administrative Procedure Act-Exemption-Death Penalty Protocols, which would exempt the death penalty regulations for the Administrative Procedures Act (APA).
