Maryland House Examines Off Track Betting Turnout
Maryland delegates quickly pass a resolution to study legalized off track betting amid minimal opposition while awaiting Senate action. The House suspends rules to pass a Senate approved bill creating election dates for vacant congressional seats and continues debate on abortion provisions amid stalling amendments. Del. Hoffman sponsors the betting study as a revenue idea, and Del. Wiser voices concerns of a false tax relief. Del. Burns Jr. loses an abortion residency amendment 73-62. Del. Douglass seeks additional 12.1 million for public schools through Mandel’s budget, tying to tuition support for private and parochial school students.
