O?Malley: It?s bittersweet to watch icon retire

After his father-in-law, Maryland?s attorney general, had made his big retirement announcement and the crowd had drifted away, the mayor of Baltimore sat by himself in a corner of the small holding room where the family had assembled.

“It?s kind of a bittersweet thing,” said a clearly subdued Martin O?Malley. “You?re grateful” to have had Attorney General Joseph Curran?s public service but also sad to be losing that service, he said.
