GOVERNOR O’MALLEY KICKS OFF SERIES OF EVENTS FOCUSED ON ‘GOVERNING FOR RESULTS’

ANNAPOLIS, MD Governor O’Malley will kick off a series of events called “Governing For Results” to promote the O’Malley-Brown Administration’s 16 strategic goals to move Maryland forward.

Tomorrow’s event will focus on the Administration’s goal to reduce violent crime in Maryland by 20 percent by the end of 2018. The Governor will be joined by County Executive Rushern Baker; Col. Marcus Brown of the Maryland State Police; Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Angela Alsobrooks; and other community partners and law enforcement officials.

“Working with the brave men and women of law enforcement, we’ve driven violent crime down to thirty year lows,” Governor O’Malley said. “We are going to continue doing everything we can -- together with federal, state, and local law enforcement partners -- to keep our neighborhoods and families safe.”

Among the things the Administration has done to drive down violent crime is enact the Firearm Safety Act, a comprehensive plan of commonsense reforms that includes (1) gun safety; (2) mental health safeguards and services; and (3) school safety measures. One of the key components of that law is a fingerprint license requirement to combat straw purchasers.

The Administration also released a document detailing efforts related to the three public safety goals overall:Governing for Results: Improving Public Safety.

“As public officials, our most important responsibility is ensuring the safety of our residents" said Lt. Governor Brown. "Working together with law enforcement and our local partners, we've made great progress. Together, we will continue making Maryland a better, safer place to live, work, and raise a family.”

Guided by the principle that the things that get measured are the things that get done, the Administration remains focused on tracking and measuring performance and on meeting these goals so that Maryland keeps moving forward.

'Governing for Results' will be a series of events (not necessarily 16) that will highlight Maryland’s progress in the areas of opportunity (jobs and schools), sustainability, public safety, and health. They will take place over the next several months, and will chronicle some of the different strategies the Administration is using to make Maryland a safer, healthier place with more jobs and opportunity for all Marylanders.

Wow... Let's see results - More taxes, Higher unemployment (except for the fast food industry), legalizing drugs, passing laws to let male perverts into the ladies room, a wonderful healthcare system, rain tax, and so much more. And the best thing, we are going to get 4 more years of his ideology because the idiots in Maryland will elect Brown.. Bye, Bye, Maryland.

I see he is still blowing smoke out of this butt! Higher taxes, foreclosures, and businesses leaving. Now that's real progress!

I see he left out the "results" of $200,000,000.00 wasted on the Obamacare web site. He also forgot to mention the $60,000,000.00 to license another states website that Maryland now uses. He is the president of TNALNM (The National Association of Lying Narcissist Morons).

I quit reading stories involving o'malley. If he supports anything I oppose it.

Let's not leave out risking a $7.5 billion economic engine of Pax River for 25 wind turbines that will destroy the environment of Somerset County and increase electricity rates for the eastern shore.
