Transportation Secretary Beverley K. Swaim-Staley, the first woman to lead Maryland’s sprawling transportation agency, will leave her post at the end of June, according to Gov. Martin O’Malley’s office. She was a lead surrogate for O’Malley’s failed attempt this year to convince the state’s General Assembly to apply a 6-percent sales tax to gasoline.
