  1. O'Malley's slots gamble

    Our biggest concerns about the push to expand gambling at the end of this spring's regular session of the General Assembly were that there had been insufficient public debate about all of the changes slots boosters wanted to institute and that there was too little reliable information about the performance of Maryland's existing gambling program. Gov.Martin O'Malley's announcement Monday of a work group to expanded gambling in time for a possible special session of the legislature July 9 does nothing to erase those qualms. The idea of settling on a proposal for a sixth Maryland casino and for the legalization of table games in time for a referendum on the November ballot is fundamentally flawed and should be abandoned.

  2. The Senate's casino giveaway

    A bill allowing table games at Maryland's five casino sites and creating a sixth in Prince George's Countypassed the Senate last week and arrived in the House of Delegates with some momentum in advance of a hearing today. It has the backing of Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker — who, in a previous life as a state delegate, opposed slots — and of Baltimore MayorStephanie Rawlings-Blake, and that has scrambled somewhat the House's typical reluctance to embrace gambling. Mr. Baker and Ms. Rawlings-Blake have a simple and understandable reason for backing this bill: It would send tens of millions in new revenue to their cash-strapped governments. But delegates have an equally simple and understandable reason to reject the legislation: It would produce a massive windfall for the casino operators and a pittance for the state.

  5. Slots brinkmanship

    There's no question that the National Harbor development in Prince George's Countyhas the potential to be an extremely successful casino site. It already has an upscale mix of restaurants and hotels, and it boasts an excellent location on the Potomac River just outside of Washington, D.C., and just across the Woodrow Wilson Bridge from Northern Virginia. If Prince George's County officials had been supportive of slots when Maryland's gambling program was designed five years ago, the final product might have looked much different.
