Other recent achievements not addressed by the article include new laws for controlling urban sprawl, employing wind energy, and preserving the state's tree canopy, to name just a few.
Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley touted a list of his achievements, including the legalization of same-sex marriage and the repeal of the death penalty, during an address Saturday to a national gathering of an influential liberal legal organization.
Speaking to the American Constitution Societys convention in the District, OMalley (D) also touched on his efforts to extend in-state college tuition rates to undocumented immigrants, pass nation-leading gun-control laws and spend more on an array of priorities, including education and substance-abuse treatment.
...
These things make our state more innovative as well as more just, more creative as well as more open, a better place for business, a better place for job creation, OMalley told a crowd of several hundred in a hotel ballroom at the Capital Hilton.
He was billed as a featured speaker at the gathering of a group founded more than a decade ago as a counterweight to the Federalist Society, a conservative network that has sought to reform the U.S. legal system.

Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley is not the type who would win the Democratic presidential nomination. He would have to be a corporatist- and military-friendly "Democrat."
