O'Malley to Discuss Living Wage in Advance of Holiday
posted 5:55 am Fri August 31, 2007 - Annapolis, MD.
Backed by O'Malley, it requires contractors seeking business with the state to pay at least $8.50 an hour.
In the most expensive parts of the state, from Washington to Baltimore, the wage will be even higher, $11.30 an hour. The law takes effect October First.
O'Malley plans to promote the new law in a news conference at an AFL-CIO office near the state Capitol.

Big WHOOP! The contractors just charge the state more. How about boosting the wages of your underpaid state employees???? I am not against the low paid getting more money but he acts like he is such a saint for doing this. Any fool knows who will pay for it - the tax payers.
