The former Republican governor dedicated his entire weekly program Saturday on Baltimore radio station WBAL to the upcoming referendum.

Former Gov Ehrlich is not opposed to slots just because O'Malley is for it NOW! O'Malley, along with the rest of the democrats were against it when Ehrlich had a great plan in place- first. O'Malley has screwed the plan up so that it just works in his favor not the tax payers and wants to screw the businesses out of any profits. How many more social programs do we need? If you can get everything free, why work? Money needs to be given back to the people who actually get off their butts and work for it! O'Malley sucks, we NEED Ehrlich back in office.
