In his travels around the state, O’Malley has made references to meeting with lawmakers from both sides of the aisle as he developed his budget solution.

Poppycock, Allan Kittleman said.

The party’s No. 2 man in the Senate says the guv has only reached out to him twice — once to congratulate him on being elected minority whip and once to inform him that O’Malley was firing his mother, Trent Kittleman, as head of the Maryland Transportation Authority.

That stings.
