Interestingly, no Republicans broke from their party to oppose final passage of the tax package even though three voted for slots. Their votes were critical to passing the slots referendum and if they had voted against slots, it would've killed the package. On the other hand, four Democrats who voted against slots voted for the tax package: Frosh, Muse Pinsky, and Raskin; they could've killed slots by voting down the tax package but chose to support it. Della was the only Democratic senator to vote against slots and the tax package and is the only Democrat to claim to have opposed slots solidly.
All senators from Baltimore City, Montgomery, and Prince George's voted for the bill except Sen. Rona Kramer (D-Montgomery). In contrast, most senators from Baltimore County voted against the bill.
