Another venue for the State of Maryland to initiate a predatory tax under the promise that it's for Education. Then in five years, a professional hocky/football/baseball/basketball can be bought or needs a stadium built and the funding comes from the "Lottery". What happens to funding for schools? It's comes from the General Fund, which is funded by increasing taxes on the working folks.

The slots revenue is maybe, kinda going towards education. At the end of O'Malley's current term, he's going to exclaim:

"See, I taught you a lesson! You should not have re-elected me on my word." :^)
