Md. gov. signs wind bill; more signatures to come

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Gov. Martin O’Malley, hours after legislative leaders finished what they are calling the biggest session of their long careers, signed legislation aimed at job creation on Tuesday, leaving a number of high-profile measures to be signed later.

Gun control legislation, a repeal of the death penalty, the state’s first gas tax increase in 20 years and a major Baltimore schools funding bill all were left for later. On Tuesday, though, O’Malley signed one of his marquee environmental proposals to help develop offshore wind. It was the third try for O’Malley, after the bill failed in two previous sessions.
