6 number of years it seems like it will take to finish the work on route 13 by Sage restaurant
A billion $$$ in revenue from gambling. Maryland should have the best schools in the country with all new textbooks, decent facilities and modern equipment. And every student gets two years community college or trade school paid for. Wasn't the money supposed to go to education? /sarcasm
