"I am proud to nominate these outstanding candidates to fill key posts in Maryland's state government," O'Malley said in a statement. "We have worked hard to compile a diverse list of individuals from across our state to help make government work again for the people of Maryland."
The nominations are known as "green bag" appointments. The term derives from the historic green satchel that is used annually to bring the governor's nominations to the state Senate. This year, Appointments Secretary Jeanne Hitchcock delivered the bag to Sen. Nathaniel J. McFadden (D-Baltimore City), the Senate president pro tem.
Into the Security Breach
In the wake of the recent theft from St. Mary's Hospital of a laptop computer containing patient information, state Sen. Roy P. Dyson has introduced legislation to strengthen Maryland's identity theft laws.
Dyson (D-St. Mary's) said in a statement that he had received one of the letters sent by the hospital to notify past patients of the theft.
"According to St. Mary's Hospital's letter to me," Dyson said, "the laptop contained information including names, Social Security numbers and birthdates of thousands of former patients dating back to the 1980s."
