Oppose Maryland Slots

When Governor Ehrlich was in office, all of the Democrats opposed slots purely due to politics.  Now that the Democrats control the Executive Office, the House, and the Senate, they want voters to now give them slots.  Why?

It all has to do with power and money.  They want to force slots on Maryland due to the fiscal crisis.  Why not cut expenses, especially the hundreds of millions of dollars that support illegal immigrants?  All voters in Maryland should vote "NO" to slots to show the politicians that we are tired of their empty promises and spending our money on "NON-GOVERNMENT" functions.

When revenue for the Maryland Lottery started to fall, they tried two different schemes to pump it back up.  One was "El Gordo" where they had a huge payout held less often. It was a failure.  The other was Keno, where they have smaller payouts held much more frequently. It was a success.

Voters do not trust the politicians to use money form the slot machines in a manner that will benefit taxpayers.
