Maryland’s Marty O’Gov Turns His Back on Fallen Mayor Dixon! (tags)

She was recently found guilty of stealing $530 worth of gift cards intended “for the poor.” Before the ink was dry on the agreement, however, Dixon’s ex-crony, the former mayor, and now Maryland Governor, Martin O’Malley, was pretending that she no longer existed.
