Baltimore delegation meets on gambling expansion

Published



ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Gov. Martin O’Malley and House Speaker Michael Busch on Wednesday proposed allocating some gambling revenue in a way to help offset losses that a Prince George’s County casino could cause for Baltimore and Anne Arundel County.

O’Malley, Busch and Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake met with about half of the city’s 18-member House delegation at City Hall for about 90 minutes behind closed doors. The proposal was made in hopes of allaying concerns Baltimore lawmakers have about how a casino at National Harbor near the nation’s capital could hurt a planned casino in Baltimore.
