Slots Proposal and Beer Tax Defeat in Maryland House
In Annapolis, Maryland, the 1969 General Assembly closed with slot machine legalization and a beer tax hike defeated. Two House votes failed to reach the 72-vote threshold for slots in Baltimore City and several counties, while a private club slots bill also failed. A proposed beer tax increase from three to six cents per gallon failed with 70 votes after limited debate, ending tax measures for the session though Gov. Mandel’s $73 million package advanced.
