Maryland Divided Over Slot Machines

Depending on the answer to Question 2 on Maryland’s ballot, the state will either have or not have access to slot machines come November 5th. However, in the meantime the state is divided over which is the better route for the people of the state.

Some say that the slot machines will bring money; some say that it will bring crime, and others still say that it will bring both. This is not a good thing for the people of Maryland, for whoever ends up winning; there will be at least half of the state that isn’t happy.

Some say that residents need to accept the influx of slot machines as it will bring a lot of money to the state’s schools. They say that their education will flourish under the slot machines, and without them they can never hope to accomplish the same things.

Others say that the education stance is merely a smoke screen for those that will be making money from the slot machines. They say that the majority of money will be going to the tracks and horses and not education, and that the state will merely be bringing in money to support them.

In addition, they say that they will be looking at increased crime and gambling addiction if the slot machines are legalized. They say that there is a price to be paid, and they are wondering what it will be when the slot machines finish rolling in. If approved, the state would be bringing in up to 15,000 new slot machines to the state.
