House Republicans oppose slots bill in Maryland
In Annapolis the House Republican Caucus announced 39 of 41 members oppose a constitutional amendment by Delegate Howard Rawlings to authorize slot machines at Laurel Pimlico and Rosecroft racetracks and at off track parlors with local approval and a $10 million investment. The plan faces a high hurdle requiring three fifths in both houses and a statewide referendum, while Gov. Glendening opposes slots. Several local delegates flip from support to opposition, complicating passage this year.
