O'Malley open to second stimulus

Gov. Martin O'Malley said Wednesday that a second economic stimulus package might be needed if the U.S. economy fails to recover, but it's too soon to know yet. "I think it's too early for us to say that right now," said the Democratic governor, while expressing support for the idea of more infrastructure spending by the federal government. O'Malley made the remarks after testifying before the House Oversight Committee.
