ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The president of the Maryland Senate is planning a quick start for next week’s special session to expand gambling, and is urging senators to drive home in the evenings to save money if they don’t live too far away.

Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, D-Calvert, outlined scheduling plans for the first two days of the session in a memo to senators on Friday, when Gov. Martin O’Malley announced he would be calling a special session to begin next Thursday.
