We are out of here

Life on State Circle comes to a close quite literally this week ? not just for this column, but for the occupants of the 230-year-old building. Everybody from the governor and his staff to the lowly scribes in the press pit are being dispersed to other buildings around Annapolis.

It?s not clear exactly where Gov. Martin O?Malley will spend his working hours. He already has an office suite at 6 St. Paul St. in Baltimore, he?ll have an office in the Jeffrey Building in Annapolis, and of course he has the governor?s mansion. Bob Ehrlich seemed to spend more time working in the study there than in the elegant State House office with the fireplace.
