ANNAPOLIS, MD (February 1, 2013) – Governor Martin O’Malley issued the following statement on the passing of former New York City Mayor Ed Koch:“I am saddened to learn of the passing of my friend, Ed Koch. He was a good mayor, a wise man of character, and a strong leader in tough times. He believed in the goodness of the people of New York City, a timeless attribute that amplifies his legacy.
"We will miss him dearly, and my thoughts are with his family at this time."
PUBLISHERS NOTES: I concur with Governor O'Malley. As a young man living in the Bronx in New York City, I, like many other citizens, had the pleasure of meeting Ed on numerous occasions. My Grandmother loved his passion for the citizens of NYC, the Police and Firefighters.
Talk about a City of controversy! You never knew from one day to the next if the citizens loved or hated their Mayor, just like the Yankee Fans from one game to the next.
Nevertheless, even after Ed was no longer Mayor he'd walk through Yankee Stadium and no matter what was going on in the ball game, everything stopped and the crowd would go nuts recognizing what will probably be New York City's greatest and most recognized Mayor.

It sure is nice that he makes a statement about anyone that was anything who dies, since he wants to be in the public eye everyday prior to 2016. I wouldn't vote for him if Ross Perro was running against him.
