O’Malley, who was campaigning here for the Democratic presidential nomination, said in his first interview on the subject that if he had known there would be “any fuss” over the transaction, he probably would have not gone through with it.
When the O’Malley family moved out of the Annapolis mansion in January, they took dozens of items with them that his administration deemed “excess property,” according to state records. As first reported by the Baltimore Sun, the family paid $9,638 for beds, chairs, desks, lamps, mirrors and other items from the mansion’s living quarters that originally cost taxpayers $62,000.

Using O'Malley's words, it was RIGGED.
He's just like the rest of them
They all follow the same play book and spew out the exact taking points
Go the he.........ll away otaxey
Of course he says that. He's just another lying cheating stealing Dumocrap!
He's full of it. Who wouldn't like to purchase items like he did at the prices he paid. Most of us, I imagine.
No worry, he's done
Baloney. Excess property is collected and sent for auction or other sale to the Excess Property Agency warehouses for disposition, not to the outgoing governor's mansion. This was preferential and not in keeping with good policy.
he just keeps following in Hillary's footsteps!
$62,000.00.... Seriously! Ridiculous amount of money for furniture. He has no shame!! None of them do!
O'Malley much like Obama, Sharpton, Hillary & Bill, live above the law and feel entitled. How dare we question anything these clowns do, they have an arrogance of entitlement that is extremely obnoxious. Normal people who say that O'Malley was taking undue advantage over a stupid system and policy. His ethics and corruption is highly visible along with the democrats mentioned. Normal ethical people would not attempt do something like that. O'Malley Maryland's worst governor in history; what a legacy.
Sounds just like Hillary's explanation...It was "allowed" and not illegal.
In the private sector, sales reps are given new company cars to use all the time, for both their business and personal use. When the cars are up for replacement, the reps are often given an option to "purchase" the cars at wholesale / auction prices, far below retail used car market value. It is a perk, ie company benefit. For O'Malley, it is a benefit of holding that office for eight years. He got a good deal on some used furniture. And besides, the new occupants of the mansion would get their own furniture allowance when they moved in and won't be keeping the previous occupant's furniture in the personal quarters. The used furniture had to be disposed of, and O'Malley had dibs. He didn't steal the furniture without paying like the Clintons did when they left the White House. I didn't vote for O'Malley and I don't like him, but he did nothing wrong.
Sounds like owemalley screwed us one more time. Surprise, surprise.
