ANNAPOLIS,
Md. – The inauguration of Governor Martin O’Malley
(D) and Lt. Governor Anthony Brown (D) began somewhat
privately on Wednesday, Jan. 17 with the official swearing-in
ceremony inside the Maryland State House in Annapolis.
With little room inside, attendance
at the official ceremony was limited to legislators
and a select group of VIP guests. Even the media was
restricted to one newspaper and one television outlet;
the latter provided the live television feed to hoards
of media waiting outside.
The
public waiting to see the ceremonies began gathering
as early as 9 a.m. outside the State House.

opposing the Myers farm annexation.
Burns
read the results of the poll at the end of the Jan. 30 town
meeting. The mayor sent out 5,500 ballots by mail and it could
