Weather you depend on gambling revenue or taxes gambling should still be legal in the state it's bull **** that people have the option to put their money in the stock market or the lottery but can't enjoy a game of poker without having to worry about a police raid. Everyone has to pay taxes so it isn't like if we ever get casinos in the state they won't need to pay taxes like everyone else unless they bring back charity casinos which would probably be exempted from taxes since they make the money for charity. But anyway why should gambling be illegal at all i'd love to see it turn back into little nevada (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/local/longterm/library/mdelect/gamblingqa.htm will tell about it if you don't already know) instead of the state of tax hungry liberals who oppose a slot proposal because its a republican governor (Bob Ehrlich) that kept trying to legalize slots and maybe get all gambling legalized eventually but when a democrat (who didn't improve baltimore city and rigged the records to make it look like he lowered the crime) proposes it they vote for it. The lawmakers aren't for the state their for themselves and the voters keep voting them back in at least the lawmakers in my area are for gambling one of them has a cash game at his resturant once a week the others I don't know but slots should've been legalized years ago it shouldn't have ever been illegal and with the casinos in atlantic city or las vegas they have cameras everywhere so it is almost impossible to cheat and legalize casinos it'll create dealer jobs, management jobs, security jobs etc and if it turns into atlantic city it'll also create retail jobs. Let harrahs and trump and hilton etc. bring casinos down here if they can't stay in business then let them close the casinos but don't make it where the government uses tax money to bailout the casinos like the federal government is doing for wall street. If wall street/businesses gets bailed out for their failures then the casino players should get the same thing because weather you put your money in the stock market or the lottery or casinos its all gambling same for the sports bettors that buy into football pools or bet on their teams to win.
