Slot Machines Dictated by Political Party

Governor Robert Ehrlich, Jr. was a Republican in a Democrat world. He wanted to legalize slot machines, and was rebuffed at every angle. It wasn’t just the slot machines though, bill after bill he had problems passing them, or even getting them heard. However, now that Governor Martin O’Malley is in the same seat, it is definitely not hurting him that he is a Democrat as well.

Many say that the way the government is running these days has a lot to do with the fact that the Democrats now control the legislative and executive branches of the government. They say that O’Malley is getting exactly what he wants, but they are also quick to point out that he hasn’t asked for much – including slot machines.

Slot machines were the bane of Ehrlich’s existence, and he found it impossible to get anything accomplished on them. O’Malley has discussed slot machines, but has not come out and said that he will be pursuing legalizing them. He has said that when the time is right he will look into it but it is not on his radar right now.

Even the Republicans have said that they are willing to work with the Democrats and with O’Malley as he has shown that he is interested in what they have to say. They say that party lines may soon be a thing of the past in this new improved government. This is an environment that Ehrlich and his slot machines never saw while he was in office.
