Maryland: Greg Branch

Gov. Martin O’Malley signed an Executive Order on Tuesday establishing the new Maryland Drug and Alcohol Council. Although the council was originally established via Executive Order in 2004, the new council will include the Department of Transportation and the Department of Housing and Community Development as voting members, among other changes.

O’Malley was joined by Secretary of the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene John M. Colmers and Baltimore County’s acting Health Officer Dr. Greg Branch.
