Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Melvin ‘Mickey’ Steinberg dies at 92
MARYLAND (WBFF) — Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Melvin “Mickey” Steinberg, a Baltimore Democrat who spent nearly three decades in state government and later worked as a lobbyist, died Tuesday. He was 92.
Mr. Steinberg served in the Maryland Senate for 20 years, including as Senate president from 1983 to 1987. From 1987 to 1995, he was lieutenant governor under the late Gov. William Donald Schaefer.
Baltimore attorney Alan Rifkin, a longtime friend and former colleague, who described Mr. Steinberg as “an awesome and kind man,” confirmed his death to The Baltimore Sun in a Tuesday evening email.
“Mickey was one of a kind,” Rifkin said in a Wednesday statement on behalf of his law firm. “Mickey’s ability to bring people together and forge consensus with brilliance, humor, dedication and compassion for others was truly remarkable.”
