Sorry, but you've got your legislators mixed up.
Miller was always able to get a slots bill through the Senate in MD.
Michael Busch, Speaker of the House, has always fought against slots. In fact, if you trace back the origination of the screwed up mess that is the slots referendum, it falls right in Busch's lap.
My only beef with Miller is that he didn't support the Horseracing Heritage Act, whereby a portion of the proceeds from the Keno game entitled "Racetrax", a computer generated horse racing game that's in bars and restaurants throughout the state, were targetted to go to fund purses at MD tracks.
And make no mistake, the only thing Pete Angelos is interested in helping is Pete Angelos.
