Reading this thread is like taking an 8 yr stroll down memory lane for me - only insert the name "Busch" instead of "Williams", and the state of "Maryland" instead of "Kentucky".
Exact same game of politics, exact same arguments for and against, but this time the political party is switched. 6 years ago in MD, it was the Repubs backing slots with the Dems firmly propped against. Put a Dem in as Gov, and Dems are for, Reps against.
Get out your belly ache medicine because this will take so many twists in turns as it plays out that it will make you sick - assuming it hasn't already.
Our referendum passed almost 8 months ago and the one slots facility proposal (Cordish) that seemed to have the best chance of being anything is languishing with a local piss-ant County Zoning Hearing Board where those morons keep putting off voting yea or nay to re-zoning the land.
