Legislators praised the naming of new secretaries of the Health Department and the Environment Department by Gov.-elect Martin O?Malley, who again turned to former members of the Glendening administration and to his own staff in Baltimore City.
O?Malley named John Colmers as secretary of Health and Mental Hygiene and Shari Wilson as secretary of the Environment. Colmers spent 19 years in state government, including stints as executive director of both the Maryland Health Care Commission and the Health Services Cost Review Commission. He is currently senior program officer for the Milbank Memorial Fund, a health policy foundation, and serves on the board of CareFirst Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
