The Maryland State Ethics Commission will not launch an inquiry related to former governor Martin O’Malley’s purchase of furniture from the governor’s mansion in Annapolis, according to a statement Thursday night from the state Attorney General’s office.
Upon leaving office in January, the family of O’Malley, a Democratic presidential hopeful, took dozens of items that his administration had deemed “excess property" to furnish their new home in Baltimore.
As first reported last month 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. Many of the pieces were eight years old or more, and they were discounted by administration officials to reflect their age.

They are thieves. If the whole family had one moral bone in their body's they would return the items but that won't happen. You can take them out of the lower class of society but you can never take it out of them. Their kids if they had brains would be ashamed at what their parents are. No better than those who looted during the riot.
They are a putrid stain on the state of MD.
Another Democratic cover up. No respect in that party any more. That's why I vote rep./Ind. any more. I may not see my votes win but my mind is clear.
A putrid stain on the state of Maryland.Quite the oxymoron.
Put him in a cell with the ex Virginia governor.
O'Malley is just as corrupt as the Clinton's and Obama and that is saying a mouthful. Unfortunately he would probably win another election in Maryland, to bad, so sad, what is wrong with Marylander's?
WHY!!!
Another crook that got away with theft from the Maryland taxpayers.
These people, O'Malley, the Clintons, Farrakhan, et. al, all suffer from habitual expectation of being exempt from the law. All that needs be done is for someone with backbone in the DOJ to call them on it. And, you know how much chance that has of happening.
No, as that young HS senior said when asked what she'd do to fix our government, "It can't be fixed, we'd have to start over again." And, I believe that even Thomas Jefferson eluded to something of that nature when he said, "I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical."
