“Steve was a key part of the team as we increased the minimum wage to $10.10; passed the EARN workforce development initiative; and enacted the Transportation Infrastructure Investment Act to support 57,000 jobs by building roads, bridges, and transit projects,” said Governor O'Malley.  “We appreciate his service to the citizens of Maryland, and wish him the best as he helps Governor-elect Raimondo achieve results for middle class families in Rhode Island.”
