The House of Delegates continues the enervating quest to find the perfect places to put slot machines around our state according to the Baltimore Sun. As of yesterday, Ocean Downs is out and Frederick is in. After awhile, the decisions take on the character of deciding exactly where we would like the enormous pimples on the face of our state to appear.
Over in the "other body", Senate President Mike Miller continues to profess his undying affection for slots in Maryland with an ardor that makes Romeo look relatively ambivalent about Juliet:
Miller is almost as devoted to slot machines as State Election Administrator Linda Lamone is to our problematic voting machines. Maybe they can sing a chorus of "Stand By Your Machine" to Tammy Wynette's famous ditty together. Still, it's hard to attack a man for being faithful.Miller said Wednesday morning that he did not back a Frederick County site because the Senate hadn't considered it, but that he didn't think its inclusion would be a deal-breaker.
"I don't think there are any changes that kill the slots plan in the Senate," he said.
