How can gaza be rebuilt and whos going to pay for it . And lady in waiting. Marylands first lady, mom, advocate and judge. But as the next president ial season heats up will we hear more from the governors wife . Tell me something about the governor that i dont know. I dont know if you would want me to do that. [ laughter ] america tonights adam may with katy omalley, the governors wife. And good evening, thanks for joining us, im joie chen. It is a crisis living up to the worst fears of Health Workers. Increasing indications that the Ebola Outbreak is beginning to cross borders. Issuing alerts for airports and hospitals to be on the lookout for people with ebola symptoms. So far ebola has centered on liberia sierra leone guinea and now a nigerian nurse has died, and in saudi arabia a plan may have died of ebola after returning from sierra leone. An an infected priest. And two hospital workers have arrived here. In new york city, a sickened it. America tonights sarah hoye. Its since been a full day of care for nancy writebol, at atlantas emory are hospital. Her colleague dr. Kent brantly is also receiving treatment. Both traveled 5,000 miles from liberia where they were infected. Both were given an experimental antibody serum which seems to be working. But the serum isnt widely available. Especially for patients in west africa where the disease has already killed hundreds. This is first time that they have been used in humans. The availability of it, the amount of it, the number of treatment courses there are are severely limited. So it really is nothing to compare it with since this is the first time that they have been given to humans. Reporter this morning at the department of state the president took a moment during economic and political talks with visiting African Leaders to address the outlook. On behalf of all of us here today, our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by the Ebola Outbreak especially those who have lost loved once. The World Health Organization said there have been more than 100 cases this week alone. A nigerian nurse infected with ebola has died becoming the countrys second confirmed fatality. At special concern, the location, the city of lagos is the countrys largest. Extremely necessary, to assist us in tracking the contacts, among to manage those cases. Reporter the nurse had been involved in the treatment of patrick sawyer, a lye weran and u. S. Citizen who died of ebola last month in lagos. Authorities are monitoring the 70 people known have come in contact with patrick sawyer. Four of whom have already tested positive for ebola. Meanwhile on wednesday a man suspected to have contracted ebola died in saudi arabia. If confirmed, this would be the first ebola related Death Outside of africa. And this spanish priest who worked in africa and tested positive for ebola is returning to spain for treatment. Mt. Sinai hospital in new york announced that the male patient with fever and are symptoms tested negative for ebola. World Health Organization in geneva, to determine what to do with the outbreak, while ministers discussed what might happen if ebola spreads against the continent. These Health Workers are overstretched and because they are overstretched they do occasionally forget to go through the normal routines that we encourage them to do in handling ebola infected cases. So some of them are errors that arise because of being overworked. Others are because of the infrastructure challenges that theyre working in. That promote transmission or hospital transmission of infection. Reporter this Ebola Outbreak is already on record as the deadliest ever. More than 900 deaths so far in a region with weak health systems. The virus seems to be spreading because of fear. People are moving away from doctors rather than taking doctors advice. The virus is very fearful but very treatable as well. If you have the training and you can help how can you not. We are joined by america tonights sarah hoye. We were concerned about spreading outside the four countries in africa. Are there safeguards in place at ports of entry in this country . Yes there are. There are quarantine stations at pretty much every major point of entry. The cdc has told workers listen, an Ebola Outbreak in the United States is not in the cards. You have agents who are looking to flag sick travelers. You also have quarantines in place if someone were to show one ebola. Things here in the United States are very different than they would be in west africa. America tonights sarah hoye, thank you so much. Katherine jacobsen works with george mason hospital, you have a connection with Mercy Hospital there in sierra leone and you are hearing from folks on the scene about their concerns and their fears about whats happening about the outbreak. At this point in time, most People Living if guinea, sierra leone and liberia have some connection with patients. They may not have seen cases themselves but they know its around them. We have not had cases in the city where my lab works but we have had cases nearby in the rural areas and a few times over is the epicenter for sierra leone outbreak. And folks there are telling you about the sprez of the spread of the disease. We think about it in specific ways but you think funerals may be the biggest concern about the spread of the disease. What happens is people come from across the country to pay respects to their loved ones or their friends. People may come in being exposed them. Do you have a sense that this is coming closer to them, that it is inevitable . There is a bit of a sense that its not under control yet and it is an expanding epidemic and every day were hearing of more case he and this far into an outbreak we of course would like to see there being zero new cases a day. And instead it does seem that every day were hearing about more cases possibly more countries as weve seen this week with nigeria. You are an epidemiologist so you are obviously concerned with the numbers. The numbers were getting now about a thousand so far who have died. Right. That may not represent the whole picture. Right. We assume that not everybody who has ebola is seeking care at a hospital. Many are being cared for at home. Which means they are not tested for virus, and if they are not tested for the virus theyre not showing up in the census. We are definitely missing some cases. Were not getting the whole picture, but one of the pictures we are getting is the effort to contain it. Thats bilateral we talk about the concern for the arrival of the patients in the United States. Were seeing medical workers in full space suit gear. Is that an appropriate message to send about whats happening with this outbreak . I think message we are seeing here in the u. S. Is a little inaccurate because when we saw our patients arrive in atlanta, we saw that the people with them were wearing the hazmat suits with the self contained breathing units. Thats really not necessary. The virus is only spread by direct contact with body fluids. Its not spread through the paper so theres no risk to people in the u. S. Catching ebola because we have some patients here who have it. On the other hand in west africa clearly we do not have enough supplies yet to protect health care workers, we would not have been seeing enough cases if there were enough supplies. The protective equipment should be very protective but the more patients that you see the more encounters you have and exposures that you have the greater the risk that there could be a breach of safety at some point. And a reason for concern there. Follow on that. Appreciate you being with us katherine jacobson, Mercy Hospital in sierra leone, he also works with George Washington university stateside. Although the water is safe to drink in toledo, the problems are not over for the millions of take their water from lake erie. America tonights Lori Jane Gliha says the problem is bigger than just lake erie. At wade smiths home no one takes clean Running Water for granted. His family of five was among nearly a half Million People who couldnt use the tap water over the weekend when toxins from a blue green algae bloom contaminated the water supply. You couldnt drink the water, couldnt do laundry, couldnt do dishes. City officials warned that contact with the water could cause liver problems vomiting and die re. His kids skipped bath time. Our neighbors have a popped. Worse Case Scenario we could have thrown them in with a bar of soap. Lake erie is still at risk. What is the long term impact . Fish could die, off the bottom, we could potentially kill the lake. Of the great lakes, lake erie is the smallest by volume and shall owest, its surrounded by four states and canada. This is part of what weve been calling algae . Its all algae growing. Yes. Some of these pieces of algae have the toxin in it. They would have the toxic in it. Reporter but when it comes to eries financial health, they deep. This is intake for the entire city of toledo. All the water that people drink comes from right there. 73 million gallons of water filter through this intake every day in order to provide Drinking Water to people like the smiths. This is the algae that was here the other day but the other day, when you did it, how was it . Solid green. The wind has turned it up and its much better for us. Algae needs off phosphorous. A plant nutrient. We are giving them man made candy to them. We are giving it to them. They are growing and multiplying. Excessive algae growth forms mats or blooms. In the 60s lake erie was declared dead, algae cut off air to fish. In 2011 lake erie was hit by the large s algal bloom on record. Individual farms and land owners with phosphorous runoff and leaky septic systems. Climate change made it worse. Is it going to continue to get worse . The treatment at the water facility is a ban bandaid. The lake is not as healthy as it should be. Frank from the Water Company says things are dangerous. Caught off guard going forward. The fertilizing practices for our agricultural business and our farmers they need to sort of are adjust the type of Fertilizer Use less phosphorous less nitrogen. How many tomato plants do you think you have in here . Half of the greenhouse has about 500 tomato plants in there. Wade smith happens to be one of the farmers and he feels the blame coming his day. I dont want anyone to be a scapegoat. There are multiple players amongst the industries that play a role in the health of the lake. Fingerpointing and scapegoating are not going to help. He uses phosphorous or as farmers call them nutrients. What would this tomato business look like . This tomato business would not be possible without it. I have about 120 but overall i farm 1500 acres. Without it his plants wouldnt grow as tall or as full. Costs would carry over to the consumer. I would not be in business. That was pure and simple. We cannot farm without having nutrients for our crops. He would like to see more are research before changing his farming business. What would you do if regulations said you would have to use less nutrients on your farm . Like anybody else you learn to try oadapt but what we hope for is we get this Research Done so if there are regulations its based on science. Farmers across the state are working with Ohio State University to learn about phosphorous runoff. They have used more technology efficiently. Do you think farmers are part of the blame . Anybody who says they are not part of the problem are putting blinders on. Wade smith is trying to be conservative. We test them every two weeks. He can utilize exactly what he needs. No more, no less. Smith says he wants to help preserve the lake and is willing to listen to new farming ideas but he says patience is key. The process must are fair. We cant must be fair. Tomorrow. This is a generational change, it is a mindset change and we need to just make sounds discussions and understand the potential for unintended consequences if we pick the wrong one and if we act too soon we can do more harm than good coming out of the gate. America tonights Lori Jane Gliha is. It seems lori jane that the farmers want to be part of the solution. They credit invested a Million Dollars to look at the runoff to see how the phosphorous gets into the waterways and the goal is then to help the farmers to develop better tools so they can better manage their fertilizer and theyre interested in being a part of that. But for homeowners or people who use water in that area it looks like theres going to be more trouble ahead. What are they being told to do, how do they prepare for that . Keeping the water safe is an interesting process. There are chemicals that are put in it that can kill the toxin. It basically attaches to the toxin and you can pull that out of the water. What happened was there was too much toxin for the chemicals to counteract. The point is you cannot boil your water as youve heard. The problem is boiling is for something alive. When the algae releases the toxin its already dead. It basically evaporates the water. Its are greater concentrated and more dangerous at that point. Thats why they told people not to boil. Right. Lori jane gliha, thanks for that problem. So how widespread are the problems and how lax are the regulations . Christy meyer is with the ohio environmental council. Christy, there seems to be a great deal of regulation when we talk about runoff. Thank you for inviting me. Actually under the clean water act only the largest of the largest farms are regulated. And many farms in ohio, and were talking about livestock here, particularly, many of those Livestock Farms fall right underneath that threshold to be regulated. So largely there is very little regulation. And when you think about, if you just think about livestock farm sewerage is regulated. Human sewage is regulated, manure is not, considered a commodity. We need to level the playing field. As we heard prior, industrys regulated, waste Water Treatment plants are regulated. We need to put in some regulation that says these best Management Practices are the ones you need to strive for. We know they work. There has been a ton of research that has been done over the years. You make reference to manure and the absence of regulations on that but that points to the fact that its not just ohio. There is farmland all over the country with afarm animals and manure crisis. Where else do we see that kind of a problem . Thats a great question. So harmful algal blooms is not just an ohio problem. Weve seen it in saginaw bay, green bay, chest piqu chesapeake bay. We need to put our farmers on a nutrient diet. Christy meyer, thank you very much. When we return, looking ahead, the guns silenced in gaza. How the rebuild and who will pay. Later in the program. Fear or fury, a detroit homeowner says he shot only in self defense but hes on trial for murder. AlJazeera America presents a break through Television Event borderland. Are you tellin me its ok to just open the border, and let em all run in . The teams live through the hardships that forced mira, omar and claudette into the desert. Running away is not the answer. Is a chance at a better life worth leaving loved ones behind . Did omar get a chance to tell you goodbye before he left . Which side of the fence are you on . Sometimes immigration is the only alternative people have. Borderland only on Al Jazeera America deepak chopra, from improving your health i had an intuition, that human beings could heal themselves. To solving conflict. The best way to get rid of your enemy, is is to increase their happiness and living a more mindful life. The number one cause of hostility in the world is lack of respect every saturday join us for exclusive, revealing, and surprising talks with the most interesting people of our time. Talk to al jazeera only on Al Jazeera America rare but welcome signs in gaza, second day of calm with the agreed upon 72 hour ceasefire holding. Many gazans ventured out in search of food and supplies. Israel offering to extend its ceasefire, in gaza, a senior hamas official are indicated there was no Long Term Agreement for peace. Palestinian delegations relaying each sides demand in efforts to end the conflict. Relief agencies are preparing for a massive recovery effort. But what will it take to get gaza fully back on its feet, azmat khan has the story. Around gaza city there are small signs of a return to normalcy. But all around, greater signs that everything is not nearly normal. There needs to be remediation, food, water, shelter. Some of that relief began make its relief made its way in the strip yesterday. But supplies already hard to come by, the challenges now seem almost insurmountable. Along with socalled military targets, israeli strikes in the past couple of weeks also took out key Critical Infrastructure that will cost impoverished gaza billions of dollars to repair or replace. Homes in ruins. Seen here through eyes of survivors themselves. 144 schools damaged, according to the u. N. And health care infrastructure, hospitals, clinics, ambulances, on the verge of collapse. Last week, gazas only power plant was hit leaving people with only a few hours of electricity each day if theyre lucky. Local Authorities Say it will take at least a year to get the plant running again. Israeli tanks also took out sewage lines, waste Water Treatment plants, like this major one, near gaza city, sending waste into agricultural land. The waste water crisis has left 13,000 tons of solid waste rotting in the streets. Shelling also destroyed water infrastructure. 55 wells gone along with pipelines and reservoirs. The daunting challenge of long term rebuilding left u. N. Secretarygeneral comoob ban kimoon exasperated. We have to do build and destroy and build and destroy, we will build again but this must be the last time to rebuild. This must stop now. The Palestinian Deputy Prime Minister says reconstruction will cost at least 6 billion and aid agencies assessing the damage like the International Committee of the red cross say its going to be a long haul. If it there was sufficient materials to come in and there was an adequate amount of funding that was mobilized, you could see within a three month period basically level of services restored to areas that have not experienced extensive damages. I think that the broad areas that have received the bulk of the destruction near the border areas, these areas are the ones that will take years to be able to rehabilitate and to be populated again. Reporter and all that can only happen as long as peace holds. Azmat khan, al jazeera. Al jazeeras coverage of the strikes in gaza and in southern israel as well as our correspondent Nick Schifrin on the ground covering it since the conflict began. Is on the ground in new york. Quite different circumstances than weve seen you in in the last month. Im curious to know, the skepticism as it were, is there a sense that this is going to be appoint of solution, a real opportunity to go forward . Well i think whats important to mark is the fact that we have gone through a longer ceasefire than we have in the last month at all and both sides are still at the table still talk pg. And so that is a real sign that this is not the real sign as the previous eight ceasefires all of which collapsed within hours. That said, two sides are still far apart. The concerns are multiple. Intermediaries. It is difficult to know whether those intermediaries will convince hamas that they should sign a long lasting ceasefires that will actually open up the border to goods coming into israel and into gaza and also lift the israeli siege not own on the borders but in the sea as well and convince israel that there is going to be proper and a genuine demilitarization. The rocket launchers are still there or some of them are and so theres a real fear that the rockets could simply start. As well as a fear that hamas doesnt control all of the factions that are launching those rockets in gaza. And so a lot of hurdles joie but again theres a lot more progress than we have seen in the last month and the conditions on the ground in gaza the kind of calm we have seen over the last day or so does lead a lot of people to believe that we are moving towards a longer term ceasefire. Im sure the residents must want that, the ordinary people going along with their lives. What is going on for them now . It is still extremely difficult. We have as much as 30, 40, 50 billion of reconstruction. Those are the initial numbers coming out of gaza. Thats a huge amount of money, a huge amount of work in a situation where they have very little access to construction material, very little resources of their own. You got to remember, hamas cant pay its own employees inside gaza, let alone rebuild power plants. So you are going to see a huge need for the people of gaza, so many homes, so much infrastructure destroyed. It is better, there are no israeli drones dropping missiles, there are no tanks shelling or artillery shelling but it is going to be along slog. For the people of israel a sense of relief, so long as these rockets stop flying the normal scene in israel will really pick up very quickly. The are rockets interrupt israeli life. They dont completely stop it. Israeli is a robust economy that has multiple layers and all of that picks up rather quickly so long as those rockets dont keep coming in. Al jazeeras Nick Schifrin some appreciate you being with us. The conflict in gaza lasted about 30 days. So tonight Nick Schifrin joins John Siegenthaler for an in depth look at gaza, 30 days of war, 11 eastern, 8 pacific. In our next segment, death in the dark of a night. Did a detroit homeowner fire on an unarmed teenage girl by mistake or was it murder . Every day. This poor girl. She had her whole life in front of her. I took that from her. Also ahead, an American General killed as he worked to support the afghan army. Will afghanistan now spiral into leave . And now a snapshot of stories making headlines on america tonight. A russian hacker gang has collected the largest database of stolen credentials including 1. 2 user names and passwords, hasnt released the identity of the hackers or of the victims. Two hurricanes are barreling towards the hawaiian islands, first iselle, could make landfall as early as thursday. Residents are storing up supplies and Flash Flood Warning is in effect for entire state. Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl sat down with an army officer for questioning. He was released in exchange for five top talbot fighters who were being held at guantanamo bay. And were they involved in tuesdays deadly attack at a military base just outside kabul that claimed the life of army general harold green. Now were learning about the insider attack and the lone afghan soldier who carried it out. A shock, just terrible. The shooting was more than a shock. General green is the highest ranking u. S. Officer killed in an overseas combat zone since the vietnam war. The shooting took place at an Afghan Military academy where the general had joined a large party of military guests examining military hardware. The gun man was lying in wait dressed in the uniform of an afghan soldier. He opened fire with a machine gun. At least 16 military personnel were killed or injured before the attacker was killed himself. Afghan officials report he had joined the army more than two years ago and had just returned from a patrol. Although investigators havent established a motive, the gunman came from an area of afghanistan known to harbor fighters from the hakani network. Has strong ties to the taliban. In a statement the taliban praised the killer but did not claim responsibility. Still, the insider attack underscores concerns just as u. S. And nato forces wind down their combat operations and the pentagon insists the handoff of combat operations will move forward in december as planned. No delegation of trust between afghan members and their counterparts. Socalled green on blue insider attacks, the numbers of these attacks has declined from a peak of 53 americans killed in 38 attacks two years ago, last year 16 died in 10 incidents and this year three have been killed. But the loss of a high profile top ranking military leader raises concern about copy cat attacks just as u. S. Forces withdraw. The loss of any life is tragic. No life is worth any more than another life. But the symbolism of the loss of a major general, in conflict, will have a huge effect on u. S. Forces. And on his family. He leaves behind a wife and two grown children. The family has asked that i pass along that they believe that the army as well as afghanistan and america has lost a true hero today. The general officer who was killed in afghanistan today who was working to serve alongside our Coalition Partners to better advance the afghans and the cause in afghanistan and he really believed in what he was doing over there. More on the question of insider attacks and the future implications we turn to doug is last douglas olliphant. First of all do we know what his motivations are at this point . It could be a single minded attack by a deranged individual. Thats what we really dont know what the motivations are. Looking back on the green on blue attacks it appears that we have a couple of different categories. We have some where weve had taliban infiltrators. Clearly they are out to assassinate special forces and make a statement that way. There were some when we saw the koran burnings that are perceived insults against islam that must be avending, honor killings, someone who has received a personal assault on their honor and they have to kill someone to redeem their honor. We have no idea which one this is. We dont know if this individual sprayed the group with the machine gun and accidentally killed the general or he was focused on killing the general and the people around him were collateral damage. We just dont know. It does go to the larger question. We are getting close to december, we are getting towards the future, what the afghan army is able to do going forward. Is there a real concern now about a power vacuum a real instability going for it . Weve had that concern for some time. Well have a new commander coming in, campbell replacing dunford in the next few weeks, the last real senior officer in afghanistan. We have less than a year to set the future of afghanistan for america to put the stamp of the future on afghanistan. And from there it will be very difficult to see how they move forward, who comes out in power how well can the afghan army stand up how much is it infiltrated. Lots of questions that the answer to arent clear yet. The death of someone like general green, does it raise any concern about looking more closely at the credentials or the backgrounds of afghan Army Fighters . Is there some way to do that . Unfortunately we have been trying to do that since the green on blue attacks first became obig deal two years ago. A big deal two years ago. Either this taliban fighter slipped through despite the increased security protocols or they were irrelevant, because there was nothing else in his background. Doug olliphant, from the new america operation, appreciate you being here. A suburban homeowner who shot and celd are killed 19yearold renisha mcbryde. But throughout the trial his lawyers have claimed it was selfdefense and he feared for his life. Wafers lawyers say he was fast asleep last december when he heard a loud knocking and he grabbed a shotgun and shot mcbryde through the door. The victim was drunk at the time. Wafer showed little remorse until he was asked about her family. Every day , sometimes, this poor girl, she had her whole life in front of her. I took that from her. Prosecution has not been buying this, arguing the tears were all for show. Joining us now is aaron foley, he is a freelance writer for reuters, and he has been covering the trial. Joins us from detroit. Aaron, this has better than a very emotional trial. Not just mr. Wafers comments but a lot of emotion driving this and a lot of questions about race. Correct. Good evening joie how are you. Yes, there are when the shooting first happened, it happened in the wake of the zimmerman trial. What had happened was, again, renisha mcbryde was a young black teenager killed at the hands of a white man. And especially here in detroit, where the racial tensions and the racial boundaries are so thick, that immediate comparison to the zimmerman trial and the killing of Trayvon Martin came up. But throughout the trial, race has rarely come up. We didnt hear a lot about, you know, white versus black or anything like that. In fact, race did come up today, during the closing arguments, but only from wafers attorney, cheryl carpenter who said that wafer himself was not a racist. In fact wafer said in his interview with police said that his neighborhood was a mix of different ethnicities, there were latinos in the neighborhood neighborhood, asians in the neighborhood. The implications weve seen in case he similar to the zimmerman trial do not apply here. What there was throughout this trial were challenges to his veracity, how much he was chitted to comments that he made immediately after this shooting to police. He told police he didnt even know his gun was loaded and never said anything before firing. Lets hear what happened before the trial. You either shot on purpose because you were in fear or the gun went off accidentally. Which one is it . I shot in fear. Did you just say point the gun and say back up, get off my porch, what are you doing there . Why didnt you ask any of those questions . It was too quick. It was a total total reaction. That was the prosecutor, challenging wafers statements right after the trial. Talk to us how this has played out, really some pretty strong comments some really big insinuations from the yes. If you were in the courtroom for one thing, the whole trial has not been televised. There has only been a few gatekeepers being able to provide whats going on trying to capture the emotion and whats there. At one point prosecutor who we just heard, she wanted to demonstrate how the shotgun worked and during this she as sort of she was picking up the shotgun and sort of i dont want to say waving it but she did it in a way where it was actually pointed at the jury at one point while she was walking towards the witness stand towards wafer. And a couple of the jurors ga gasped. They were surprised to see this large powerful weapon. That back and fort with the prosecutor its been a very emotional case. The jurors, renisha mcbrydes mother and family have been in the gallery, her mother has been very emotional throughout this. It has been definitely a trying time for all parties involved. And a correspondent for reuters joining us thank you very much. American justice as we look ahead to tomorrow night on the program. Privatizing probation, saving communities money but do forprofit Companies End up taking the biggest cut for themselves and prey on the poor . I dont think im right when i do people like that. If they aint got the money you just dont have the money. And i dont think by putting people in jail, aint going to make them pay the money. You know what i mean . It aint going to help them. Correspondent sarah hoye with an investigation on private operation. Tomorrow on america tonight. And ahead after the break. Stepping out into the political limelight. Marylands first lady speaks with correspondent adam may, why her familys political future may mean big changes for her career. Al Jazeera America presents a self portrait of generation now. So many of my friends is pregnant. I feel so utterly alone. You need to get your life together im gonna do whatever needs to be done. Ya boy is lookin out to becoming a millionaire. An intimate look at what our kids are facing in school and beyond 15 stories, 1 incredible journey in this envelope is my life right now. Edge of eighteen coming september only on Al Jazeera America the campaign for the white house in 2016 is underway at least behind the scenes. While Hillary Clinton is the most mentioned democratic candidate, another name is mentioned, martin omalley. He is considering a serious run for the white house. Building relationships in iowa season. There is one person missing from his campaign right now and that is his wife. In an america tonight exclusive correspondent adam may omalley. Do you think youll be an effective first lady for the nation . Thats a tough question. Whatever does happen ill be able to adjust and hopefully do as well as i did here. Do you guys entertain in here . Yes this is where they have the state dinners. If you havent heard of Katherine Omalley you will in the future. The wife of governor martin omalley, meetings with top democratic donors all signs point to omalleys running for partys nomination in 2016. I thinks is a contender. Hes a young dynamic and appealing governor with a pretty good record of accomplishments. And i think he has olot of appeal for folks who vote in democratic primaries. Tell me something about the governor that i dont know. I dont know if you would want me to do that [ laughter ] he might not be happy with me if i did that. The thing i tell people because hes always very serious when i see him on tv is he has a wonderful sense of humor. Reporter so does mrs. Omalley who insists on being called katy. We saw her in a celebration of agricultural and local chefs at the governors mansion. Working a friendly crowd. On stage she is the woman standing behind governor omalley. But observers expect that to change. Katy omalley could find herself front and center in the 2016 campaign. Katy omalley has stayed out of the National Spotlight thats because theres a lot more to this first lady than being a politicians life. Shes also a District Court judge in baltimore. State ethics laws prohibit judges from engaging in politics or taking a stand on legislation. Has that been tough on you as a judge that you cant be more active in the campaigns you wish you could . Yeah, there are times when you are frustrated you cant get out there do what you want to do, say what you want to say or respond to student crid civil. Not usually me but you thins thats ridiculous. Simmer down and legality it take its course and it always does. Katy omalley has been connected to politics ever since birth. Her father was well respected yostiv yostiv joseph curran. She is katy curran omalley. Im a really proud daughter of a wonderful politician and i ended up married to a politician which wasnt really in the grand plan but did you think you were going to marry a politician . It just happened, lucky for me. And you have four children together. We have four great kids together. Whats it like in the spotlight . Theres pros and cons to all that. If they do something thats kind of stupid everybody hears about it. Anybody else has a mistake as an adolescent nobody hears about that. Theres pros and cons about that. The other thing is they have been helpful to their dad and their dads career which is something i cant do because im a judge. Katy omalley has put her experience as a judge and a form he prosecutor to play in a different way, an advocate of domestic violence. Another subject at her heart, stopping school bullying. Weve had situations where children have taken their own lives. Even before this happened, i was interested in this issue, because working in the truancy courts, i found that children did not come to school because they had been bullied. What have you done as first lady of maryland . If you see somebody bullying somebody whose inferior, or being bullied you must say its not good. Some people would describe as you progressive. You do you feel you are progressive . Rather progressive than reguessive. Thats regressive. Thats positive. A few years ago when the General Assembly failed to pass a law legalizing same sex marriage, judge omalley made reference to some members of the assembly who were going to vote for it and then changed their minds, referred to ilt as a voas of cowar cowardice. That was an overtly political statement. Did you feel that was true . I didnt think that was so. I think judges have to stand up for rights of people. As a judge omalley has not been able to venture onto the campaign trail yet. If her husband makes a president ial run she will have to make a wrenching decision.
