Franchot pledges cooperation, no slots

Moments after being sworn in as comptroller, Peter Franchot reaffirmed his opposition to slots and pledged to work together with the governor and Md. Legislature to fix the state?s recurring financial crisis.

“But as we work in partnership to overhaul the tax code and tackle the structural deficit, I will continue to argue and use the power of my office to oppose any solution that includes the reintroduction of slot machines into our great state,” Franchot said.
