Revenue - July 13, 2008

OK then. How is the state going to raise revenue? No one wants more taxes. Cut something and the hue and cry goes up over the state. Millions of dollars are lost to Maryland when people go somewhere else to play slots, etc. Those folks give their money TO ANOTHER STATE.

What are you talking about? Drugs and crime already rule Annapolis.

Slots=Trouble! - July 10, 2008

I'm a child of the Jersey Shore, and I can say that Atlantic City is a sespool! We vacation in Cape May every summer, and sometimes my husband and I make a day trip up to AC so he can play the slots and the kids and I walk the boardwalk, but I would never be there after dark! Drugs crime & prosituiton rule in AC ...... To think the same thing wouldn't happen here MD is crazy. And Kathy when is the last time you were in Dover? Dover is a nasty little town too! Slots=Trouble, and they have no place in MD!!! It would be a disaster to put them in Annapolis, and I know I DO NOT want slots on the Eastern Shore!!!

It's amazing - July 9, 2008

When Ehrlich was governor, Miller and Co Corruption Inc was dead set aginst slots. But now that Owe'Malley is in office and needs the revenue that can't have an about face and support them just because of the change at the Governor's mansion. So the Dems have to send it to referendum. Altough I am not sure what the Dems are concerned about, certainly there is no way the Baltimore Sun or the Capital would cover it, or the would pull the usual 'take the Democrat press release and spin in to the left'.

Charlestown - July 8, 2008

If anyone believes slots are a good thing I invite you to take a look at the cretins and dregs of humanity at Charlestown Races and Slots in WV. After observing the place no sane person would want anything resembling it in their home state.

Eastport... - July 8, 2008

Can you put the casino in Eastport so the people in the ghetto can have something to do rather than sell drugs and shoot each other.

Slots in Maryland - July 7, 2008

We have hundreds games in Maryland and people spend thousands a day to buy them. It's up to you to play or not to play. If I want to flush my money down the toilet I am free to do so, the same with games or lotteries, it's up to the individual to buy or not to buy. Delaware has no increase in crime or poverty due to the slots there. Just because something is legal does not mean you have to buy it or attend it.

Lets hope... - July 7, 2008

...it never happens. in every place slots are legalized you get a rise in crime and poverty. I personaly love to go play slots. Penny slots every three months or so. No big deal. But I certainly woudn't want to live in the areas we have to go to play. If slots come to Anne Arundel I may vary well leave. I predict nothing good of it.
