Senator Ulysses Currie Rescinds Resignation From Maryland General Assembly

Sen. Ulysses Currie rescinded plans Tuesday to resign less than four weeks after he said he lacked the strength to continue as member of the General Assembly.

Currie cited a “total loss of civility” in the contest to succeed him.

“Since my announcement, it has been nothing but petty political jockeying and deal-making,” he wrote in a Tuesday letter to Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller. “This has created a level of divisiveness and discord I have rarely seen … and which I cannot allow to continue.”

Currie had announced Nov. 4 he planned to end his nearly three decade career this Thursday. But two days before his resignation was to take effect, Currie retracted it. The decision was first reported by The Daily Record.
