Maryland Councilman Plans to Restrict Slot Machines

Councilman Josh Cohen, D-Annapolis, said he will introduce a measure that restricts slot machines to horse racing tracks, effectively outlawing the possibility of the 200,000-square-foot casino proposed for the mall.
"'We, the County Council, should not be bending over backwards to accommodate slots at a place where the majority of residents don't want them,' Cohen said, also adding: 'Even though I remain opposed to slots, I would at least concede that the majority of voters who supported the referendum in the fall envisioned slots at the racetrack. Based on the tremendous public testimony, it's clear that a majority of county residents think that it's a bad idea to put slots at Arundel Mills.'
"The County Council's ongoing debate on whether to change zoning laws to pave the way for slots is expected to continue this week, a necessary step for state plans to have casinos generate hundreds of millions of tax dollars.
"Voters in November approved a constitutional change to legalize gambling at five sites in Maryland, including a two-mile wide swath of Anne Arundel County that encompasses both the mall and Laurel Park racetrack. Now, the state is only considering one bid, which proposes a large casino at the mall to house restaurants, a live entertainment venue and 4,750 slot machines. Without zoning changes to permit the casino, the county stands to lose an estimated $30 million annually in tax revenue..."
