And we honor the cause that there is more to live, to do, to experience, and to discover than what is known today."

Donald Norris, Public Policy, in The Baltimore Sun
In a letter sent out Thursday by his federal political action committee, Gov. Martin O’Malley called for support for a higher minimum wage in Maryland. The letter was coordinated with a social media push urging supporters to sign a petition for an increased minimum wage.
Public Policy Professor and Chair Donald Norris was interviewed for an article in The Baltimore Sun about O’Malley’s call for support. By sending out the message through his federal PAC, he is reaching a national audience while considering a run for president in 2016.
“He’s using his federal PAC to say, ‘Here’s what I’m in favor of’ to build support among those folks,” Norris said.
The state’s minimum wage is among the leading issues in the race to succeed Gov. O’Malley.
You can read the full article in The Baltimore Sun here.
