Referendum May Stop Dog Racing
In Anne Arundel county the dog racing issue remains alive after a bill to legalize the sport was blocked, with talk of a potential referendum. Delegate Shipley revived the dispute by claiming the signed bill provided a legal basis for dog racing, though the governor says he would have vetoed it. Joseph Armstrong proposed a referendum path, noting the bill grants broad licensing powers to county officials. A ten percent petition of governor race voters would trigger a public vote on the matter.
