New disclosures show millions of dollars are being spent on both sides in the fight over whether to expand gambling to Maryland, even as other issues on the ballot may be flying a bit under the radar.
Disclosures filed with the Maryland Board of Elections Friday show Penn National Gaming has now contributed $18.1 million to the "Get the Facts" campaign against Maryland's Question 7, the gambling expansion referendum that would allow a new casino in Prince George's County and allow table games in the state.
MGM Resorts has contributed $11.4 million to "FOR Maryland Jobs and Schools," the group supporting the ballot question, according to disclosure form filed with the board of elections.

ReplyDelete6:58, you are very correct! Taxing us all to pay 6 cronies! I say, if the business cannot start up and hold itself above water on its own, then it should drown. Nothing should be "Too big to fail".
ReplyDeleteAnd the children see nothing of the money, anyway, in any state in the Union.
