Mathias & Conway Are Off To The Races

Today at Ocean Downs Race Track they were holding/broadcasting the World Series of Horse Racing, (The Breeders Cup). Mathias & Conway knew exactly where to be as they made very sure that all the gamblers in the Club House were greeted with smiles, brochures, handshake, hugs and everything they wanted to hear from these two candidates.

It was heard throughout the Club House, "WE WANT SLOT MACHINES, WE WANT SLOT MACHINES!" Well, what you want and what you're going to get are two different things!

Since I used to live in Ocean City I thought I'd throw out some information 99% of you weren't aware of. Did you know that every Sunsations Store has an electrical outlet in the floor every 8 to 10 feet apart? I wondered why these people were buying out these locations like there was no tomorrow and building these grand stores for tee shirts? I finally asked someone who was helping build out many of the locations and he replied, they're doing it because they're banking on Slots coming to Ocean City and they want to be 100% prepared ahead of time.

That also explains why the current owner of Ocean Downs bought back the Race Track that was failing and then invested so much money rebuilding the main building. It was always well known that Jim Mathias was dead set against Slots coming into Ocean City. However, things have changed now that he's no longer there. Could he know something we don't? Could it be that Slots may be just around the corner but not under his watch as Mayor?

On the other side of the coin, could this be why he's running elsewhere because he wants to help prevent such a thing from happening? Oh, the game of politics, isn't it just grand?
