  2. The misleading pitch for Question 7

    Give the new television ad asking voters to approve Maryland's Question 7 credit for one thing: It is spot on in accusing the opposition of being bankrolled by an out-of-state gambling company worried about losing revenue at its marquee location in West Virginia. Of course, the ad doesn't mention that the group who sponsored it — For Maryland Jobs & Schools Inc. — is a front for the gambling giant MGM, which stands to reap hundreds of millions if voters allow a sixth casino in Prince George's County. Fortunes will be spent on back-and-forth advertisements in the coming weeks because even greater fortunes stand to be gained or lost with the outcome of November's vote. The truth, inevitably, will be the loser.

  9. Gambling is still morally bankrupt

    Gov. Martin O'Malley's special session on casino gambling should have been called a rubberstamp session. Because there really was no legislative session, let alone public debate or analysis regarding the negative economic and social impact that will come from more gambling. Instead, lawmakers basically rammed through a pre-packaged measure that will enable casinos to strip more wealth from Maryland residents.

  10. The false promise of a gambling expansion

    Backers of a new casino inPrince George's Countyhave been emboldened by a report from the Department of Legislative Services that estimates such a facility and the addition of table games statewide could add as much as $161 million a year to the state's coffers. The analysts, who worked with PriceWaterhouseCoopers to develop their report, flatly conclude that Maryland's market is large enough to accommodate six casinos and that any loss in revenues at the existing Maryland Live slots parlor and the one yet to be constructed in Baltimore would be offset by new revenues from blackjack, roulette and the like.
