Maryland's is to allow table games, build another casino and basically keep some money in Maryland that's going to WV/PA/DE.

if I voted, I'd vote to build the stuff becuase that's money that can stay in the state to be used for something.

The entire argument against is Penn National's desire to protect CharlesTown, WV's table games by saying the money will not cause education spending to increase. Of course, the reason is right now, we spend (500mil) on education. This would get ($100mil) for education that would then permit the state to only spend (400mil) of existing money on education to maintain the same level of spend. ($100mil) then is freed up to spend elsewhere.

But I'm still heading to WV becuase it's closer.

Today on the radio I heard an ad by the Md State Comptroller saying that not one dime would go to education. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:13 4
- Franchot is basically saying not one dollar more is going to education. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 08:16 3
  - that's not what it sounded like. I figured it was some technicality like that. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:20 2
    - Those ads are paid for by the WV gaming industry...Franchot is either willfully in their pocket or he's an idiot. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 08:21 1
      - I really wondered who was paying him. why else would he bother? -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:22
