Martin O'Malley in no hurry for his State House portrait

During eight years as governor, Martin O’Malley earned a reputation for tardiness in convening meetings of the Board of Public Works. Delays of 20 to 30 minutes were common.

Nearly three years after leaving office, in the same room where the board meets, O’Malley is still running late.

It is a State House tradition to display the portraits of Maryland’s eight most recent governors on the walls of the Reception Room on the second floor of the historic capitol. But on the wall opposite where Gov. Larry Hogan presides over the public board meetings, O’Malley is absent.

Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., the Republican who served from 2003 until 2007, is still the most recent governor to have his portrait hung in the room.

Leave him out. Maybe we will be able to forget him.

Just scrawl a cartoon rendering on the wall and leave it at that. It'll reflect just how effective his term in office really was.
