  10. What's left for O'Malley?

    The knock on Gov. Martin O'Malley by his critics is that everything he does is an effort to pad his resume for a presumed run for president. The latest evidence: He enacted Maryland's most sweeping gun control measures in a generation, abolished the death penalty, secured the most significant boost in state transportation funding since the Schaefer administration, laid the groundwork for a wind farm off the <a href="http://www.baltimoresun.com/travel/beaches/">Ocean City</a> coast, passed legislation that will make it easier for veterans to get jobs and for the government to partner with private industry on major projects, and effectively eliminated the gap between projected revenues and expenses that has dogged Maryland for the last decade.

  12. Was the IRS on a witch hunt?

    An IRS official apologized for the agency&rsquo;s &ldquo;inappropriate&rdquo; scrutiny of tax-exemption applications from groups with &ldquo;tea party&rdquo; or &ldquo;patriot&rdquo; in their names. Some Republicans seized on the news as evidence that the Obama administration had politicized the process of granting tax-exempt status during the 2012 election campaign. The White House denied having any part in the IRS&rsquo;s actions. Do you believe it? The agency&rsquo;s inspector general is now investigating the matter. Should Congress investigate, too? Groups that endorse political candidates or parties are ineligible for tax-exempt status. Do you think the IRS scrutiny was politically motivated, or more like due diligence? Talk about it!
