  1. BWI slots: A losing wager

    Annapolis may be located on the banks of the Severn River, but during the first three months of the year it often seems to be an island — so isolated are members of the General Assembly from real life. The gyrations of lawmakers over the high-stakes issues of gambling and transportation have produced many such only-in-the-State-House moments in recent years.

  8. Las Vegas on the Chesapeake

    The possibility that Gov. Martin O'Malley and House Speaker Michael E. Busch will round up the votes needed to authorize a referendum to expand Maryland's casino program shows just how far attitudes have shifted in the last five years. Lawmakers and their constituents are generally more comfortable with the notion that the state will raise significant revenues from casinos and will embrace table games in addition to slot machines. But the political dynamic surrounding the issue in Annapolis is largely unchanged. The Senate is gung-ho for gambling expansion, the House is reluctant, and Governor O'Malley is once again proposing legislation aimed at keeping both sides happy. That produced a disappointing gambling program the first time around, and it threatens to do so again.

  12. Maryland's embarrassing slots giveaway

    Gov. Martin O'Malley and Maryland's legislators should be embarrassed at the gambling bill they are sending to voters this November. In their rush to move ahead with an expansion of Maryland's gambling program before the current one is fully up and running, they adopted a plan that amounts to a massive give-away to casino owners with little chance for public benefit. Voters should reject this proposal and tell the legislature not to try again until it can show that it is acting in the interests of the people, not the gambling lobby.
