Yes/No? Why?
Besides potentially making history on the national level on Nov. 4th, Maryland voters will also be asked if they are for or against gambling in Maryland. Ihaven't seen this topic discussed in the forum, so lets discuss...
As the thread starter guess I should start and donate my .02centavos, I been saying "Yes" for the longest, as I read more into it, I'm becomingundecided but still leaning more towards "Yes". Reason is because if it REALLY helps schools, services(police, teachers, etc), reduces or keeps taxes the same (not increase which is what they claim will happen if slots don't get passed), THEN I'm allFOR IT!
BUT I really hope it's handle well and although govt. regulated that they don't slip-up. I wouldn't want to see slots on every corner, liquorstore (like some Keno stand), laundry mat joint, etc.. they should have "nice waterfront" casinos, dedicated areas for this type of venue. But thenwhen I hear that only about .17cents on every dollar goes toward the schools and services it makes me wonder!
I guess my stand is that at the end of the day Maryland Gamblers will go to AC, Dover, WV, etc to spend their money on slots might as well keep it here inMaryland. Crabcake, Football, and Slots??? THATS WHAT MARYLAND DOES!!!
