(AP Photo/Patrick Semansky) Aides confirmed that the governor was in New York, where he was meeting with prospective donors to a number of causes and preparing for an appearance Friday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." Some of O'Malley's fundraising activities were related to the Democratic Governors Association, which he chairs and for which he travels regularly. But aides said he was also trying to raise funds for a couple of November ballot measures in November: one on a same-sex marriage law, the other on a law that grants in-state tuition rates to certain undocumented immigrants. O'Malley supports both measures. Back in Maryland, state leaders were trading recriminations and talking about whether to resurrect a plan that would have allowed a casino in Prince George's County. A work group set up by O'Malley announced Wednesday that it could not reach consensus on the plan.
