Letter From Governor Ehrlich

Dear Friends,
On Tuesday, we have a chance to send a powerful message to Annapolis.

For four years, I fought to save Maryland horse racing and balance our budget without raising taxes by approving a responsible slots plan.

And for four years, the democratic leadership in Maryland fought us every step of the way.


Last fall, that same leadership pushed through the largest tax increase in state history and approved a very bad slots plan, making it clear that

their prior opposition was just partisan politics. They now want to amend our state Constitution in order to bring slots to Maryland in a way that won’t work and is bad for business. So Maryland families get stuck with a bad slots plan – and a big tax increase.

On Tuesday, November 4, you can send a return message by voting against Question 2, the bad slots plan. This plan amends Maryland’s

Constitution, enshrining their bad plan into our most sacred state government document. Question 2 rewards out-of-control spending policies and their $1.4 billion tax increase.


Don’t reward bad behavior. Vote against Question 2. I believe a slots program is best for Maryland, but not this one.

Sincerely,



Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.

Governor of Maryland

2003-2007
