BALTIMORE, MD (November 6, 2012) – Governor Martin O’Malley today released the following statement on the Dream Act:

“Marylanders – guided by our belief in the dignity of every individual – have chosen to make the dream of a college education a reality for every child. In order to expand opportunity, we’ve chosen to hold down the costs of college tuition for Maryland families more than any other state.
