O'Malley to OK funding for new Montgomery courthouse

Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley will commit to providing funding for a new Montgomery County District Courthouse, his spokesman said Friday.

Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett listed obtaining $65 million for the construction of a new district courthouse in Rockville among his legislative priorities for the 2008. Some local leaders were upset last year when O’Malley did not include the project in his budget for the current fiscal year.
