Slots Debate: Simmons vs Perez

From Carole Brand.

As you know, the November election will bring to the ballot a referendum on expanding slot machines in the state of Maryland. This proposal has evoked strong arguments for and against it, and on WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 10th, at 7:30 pm, there will be a forum to help you explore this issue and its implications for our state.

Delegate Luiz Simmons (D-17) will take the anti-slots position, and Maryland Secretary of Labor Tom Perez will take the pro-slots position. Bruce De Puyt of News Channel 8 will moderate the discussion. County Council Member Nancy Floreen will introduce the evening.

The forum is free of charge and open to all. Questions will be taken from the audience.

Date: Wednesday, September 10, 7:30 - 9:00 p.m.
