Governor Martin O'Malley on Thursday urged supporters of raising the minimum wage in Maryland to sign a petition.
The Democratic governor wrote in an email from his political action committee that he believes the state must make the choice to raise the minimum wage, which is currently $7.25 an hour.
"This is going to be a long and difficult effort, and I need to know that you're with me from the beginning," O'Malley wrote.
O'Malley does not specify in the email how much he believes the minimum wage should be raised. Nina Smith, O'Malley's spokeswoman, said details are still being worked out.

All that will do is increase the poverty level allowable income as all of the prices will go up.
Democrats just don't get that some will always be considered 'poor' regardless of the environment.
Stupid Libtards like O'Malley just don't get it.
Why not follow Hugo Chavez's example in Venezuela?
keep it up o'malley. run businesses out of maryland and let the ones who stay here cut back on help. you're such an idiot.
"O'Malley does not specify in the email how much he believes the minimum wage should be raised."
Because he has no business sense, and has no clue that you cannot "legislate" free markets.
What an Idiot.
This will only benefit the GREADY gov. as they will collect more TAXES and the rest of us will PAY more for EVERYTHING
There have to be ditch diggers in the world and those who tell them how deep to dig. Not everyone can be successful. Social engineering is a failure and goes against natural selection. Help those in need when you can.
