  8. Against Question 7

    Four years ago, we endorsed the constitutional amendment that legalized slot machine gambling in Maryland, and we still support it. We think it would be wise for Maryland to eventually expand its gambling program to include table games like blackjack and poker, which would attract additional economic development and create more jobs. It might even be a good idea one day to allow a sixth casino in Prince George's County to take better advantage of the tourist and convention trade in nearby Washington, D.C. But we oppose Question 7, the gambling expansion measure on November's ballot, because it's a bad deal for Maryland's taxpayers.

  12. Gambling expansion: Maryland's $223 million question

    On Monday, Gov.Martin O'Malleybegins a series of make-or-break meetings with local officials and legislative leaders to decide whether he can muster the support necessary to call a special legislative session this month to consider expanding Maryland's nascent gambling program. The governor, who even as recently as a few months ago was publicly expressing his distaste for taking up the issue of gambling again, is pushing hard for a plan that would add a sixth casino inPrince George's Countyand legalize table games throughout the state, among other changes to the law. He is touting it as an economic development opportunity and a boon to the state's treasury, which could see as much as $223 million more a year once the program is fully up and running. But there are a few details local officials and legislators should consider.
