A Canadian developer whose bid to build a slots casino in Baltimore has been dismissed by the city filed a federal lawsuit against a state gambling commission Tuesday, contending that the newest bidding process discriminates against companies owned by white men.
Michael Moldenhauer's Baltimore City Entertainment Group says that the Maryland Video Lottery Facility Location Commission's request for proposals notes that one factor in its selection process is whether companies are minority- or female-owned.
"What BCEG is trying to get is consideration on a level playing field," said the firm's attorney, John F. Dougherty of Kramon & Graham in Baltimore. "Obviously with this … preference program, the playing field is tilted against a bidder like BCEG, which is not a minority business enterprise."
A spokeswoman for Gov. Martin O'Malley said the state had not yet seen the suit and could not comment.

Stand up and fight for your rights.
Minorities have taken over the country.
What rights do white people have that others do not?
