BALTIMORE SUN — Vowing to strengthen Maryland’s middle class, Gov. Martin O’Malley signed legislation Monday that will gradually raise the state’s minimum wage to $10.10 an hour — his No. 1 priority for the final legislative session of his eight years in office.
The legislation was among more than 200 bills the governor approved at the State House signing ceremony. Others included a ban on the sale of “extreme strength” alcoholic beverages, reforms to Baltimore’s liquor board decreased restrictions on the city’s needle-exchange program to prevent AIDS.
