Maryland Counties Give Qualified Support for Slots
posted 9:22 am Fri October 26, 2007 - ANNAPOLIS, Md.
The organization also is giving qualified support for legal slot machine gambling, provided compensates host communities for impact expenses and respects local zoning rules. The counties also warned lawmakers Thursday that if the state chooses spending cuts over tax increases to close the deficit, county governments would be forced to consider their own cuts and tax increases.
A special legislative session to address the budget deficit is scheduled to convene Monday.--
