Lawmakers encouraged by inaugural address

Gov. Martin O?Malley?s inaugural address left many lawmakers hopeful and expecting a spirit of compromise in their dealings with the state?s new executive.

“It?s a new day for Maryland,” said Del. Steven DeBoy, D-Howard. “I think he?s really pressing compromise, you?re really hearing that a lot. … I think he really believes that compromise is a way we can move Maryland forward and he wants to work with the legislature.”
