O'Malley Doesn't Want Slots Distraction in January
posted 3:24 pm Sun October 21, 2007 - Annapolis, Md.
That's because he doesn't want slots to be a distraction during the 90-day session in January. He says he wants to reserve the full session to take on issues like improving energy efficiency and generation.
Both the House and Senate have passed differing versions of slots legislation over the years, but lawmakers have been unable to solve differences between the two chambers. A slots bill has not yet been made public, but O'Malley administration officials have said one is in the works.
The special session is scheduled to begin October 29th and O'Malley has said it run up to Thanksgiving and beyond, if necessary.

Ehrlich tried every year for 8 years to get slots approved - and failed 8 times. Why? Because there are a few moralists who believe everyone should obey THEIR rules and ethics, and want to make SURE those rules are enforced by law. What a shame this still happens in America.
