O’Malley receives an A- from state League of Conservation Voters
By Danny ReiterThe Maryland League of Conservation Voters, a non-profit environmental group, has awarded Gov. Martin O’Malley (D-Baltimore) the letter grade of an “A-”, the groups highest grade to date for a governor.
“We are very pleased to give Governor O’Malley and his Administration an A- for their strong environmental actions,” said Executive Director Cindy Schwartz in a statement. “This is the highest grade we have ever awarded a governor, and this Administration has truly earned its high marks. Not only has the O’Malley Administration pro-actively worked to reduce pollution, help Marylanders use less energy, and protect the Chesapeake Bay, Governor O’Malley has also instilled an environmental ethic across all of his Agencies.”
This is O'Malley's first report card from the MLCV. The group gave former Gov. Bob Ehrlich (R-Baltimore) a letter grade of “D” in 2006.

Quote of the Day
October 9, 2008
"I am calling on Governor O'Malley to order his campaign to cease and desist with the negative attacks. It is my bet that the people of this great state are sick of the empty promises, tired of the lies, and ready to fight back against the corrosive influences of tainted money and Karl Rove-style politics."
