Talking State of the State, Flush and Gas Taxes

Patch's politics reporter talks the State of the State with MarylandReporter.com.

Posted by Bryan P. Sears (Editor), February 6, 2012 at 05:38 pm

Jobs, a gas and and same-sex marriage were some of the more ambitious items highlighted by Gov. Martin O'Malley during his last week.

In this morning's installment of Annapolis Week on MarylandReporter.com, I join Len Lazarick, the site's editor and publisher, and Joel McCord of WYPR to break down the speech and the governor's initiatives.

BOTTOM LINE.....RECALL OWEMALLEY......JUST BECAUSE HE IS AN IDIOT. Heck, even my family in PA think he is a knucklehead and they are die hard union people.

We warn children--especially girls and young women--not to go to strangers for help. We know that of the three girls, the man kidnapped one who was his daughter's friend after giving her a lift.
