Default MD

The legislature sat there for 10 years and watched all of the neighboring states approve slots. They did shiat!! I know that they were approached by major Las Vegas gaming companies about 7 or 8 years ago. They were prepared to hand the state the moon and beyond......the staties said, "nah."

It's a shame as the racing industry in MD was once a notch below NY, FL, and CA. There are about 1500 jobs that will be gone.
