A table was the focus of a spirited email exchange between O'Malley and Alvin Collins, his secretary for the Department of General Services.
According to emails released through a pubic records request, Collins wrote to O'Malley on Jan. 9 — a week before the Democrat and his wife purchased 54 furnishings from the mansion at steep discounts. "I have not forgotten the table," Collins wrote. "Should happen next Friday [Jan. 16]. Any remaining items are in progress!!!"
After O'Malley wrote back, calling Collins is his "favorite cabinet secretary," Collins wrote that the incoming administration of Republican Gov. Larry Hogan is "throwing me outa here. Sir, know that I will forever be thankful for all you allowed me to do. Always there for you."
O'Malley replied: "What do you mean they are throwing you out? Before the inauguration? What about the table?"

No matter which it is stated - what was done here was wrong, totally wrong.
Give the furniture back, Mr. O'Malley. We'll give you a full refund. Then it can go to auction and raise a lot more than you paid for it.
As for your buddy that surplussed it, he's as guilty as you are, but more of a suck-up.
