A
That
the
state's
the
receipts
and
to
fit
a
receipt
from
revenues
in
this
fiscal
year
have
already
disappointed
and
that
the
governor
is
looking
to
a
an
additional
432
million
dollar
deficits
for
state
government
and
the
only
way
that
that
can
be
addressed
basically
is
through
costs,
and
it's
going
to
be
considered
going
to
be
cuts
of
state
government
and,
quite
frankly,
yes
in
the
local
jurisdictions,
are
not
going
to
escape
on
the
stage
they
just
can't
others.
Just
there's
been
so
many
custody.
B
A
The
other
component
of
budget
reconciliation
process
was
lost
last
words
to
generate
660
million
hours
for
education,
so
it
was
all
three
of
those
things
were
intended
to
take
care
of
the
state
structural
deficits,
but
with
the
economy
tanking,
the
way
it
is
chosen
and
really
passionately,
as
well
as
locally
the
revenues
from
the
taxes,
taxes
and
that
were
anticipated
to
start
being
produced
so
and
there's
no
ability
right
now
and
the
will
to
increase
any
taxes,
so
they're
going
to
discuss
and
their
effect
will
who's
on.
Okay,.
C
To
five
video
lottery
licenses
for
the
primary
purpose
of
raising
revenue
for
education
of
children
in
public
schools,
sweet
kindergarten
through
eighth
grade
12,
public
school
construction
and
improvements
and
construction
of
capital
cuts
at
community
colleges
and
higher
education
institutions.
Cm
Maryland
association,
accountings
of
bipartisan
groups,
has
come
out
strongly
in
support
of
this
referendum.
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
ly
and
tell
us
more
about
the
education
funding.
A
A
It's
an
impact,
Public
Safety
locally,
is
to
maintain
the
commitment
to
education
so
that
660
million
dollars
is
really
critically
necessary
for
the
fiscal
stability
of
the
state,
but
also
of
Baltimore
County
as
well
as
jurisdictions
across
marrow,
and
we
know
that
and
that's
why
we're
supporting
it.
So.
C
A
Some
goes
75
million
of
it
goes
to
impact
a
for
infrastructure
and
Community
improvements
for
those
jurisdictions
that
where
the
flop
powers
are
going
to
be
located
now
that's
five
jurisdictions
as
you
just
read:
it's
a
rocky
gap
in
Western
Maryland,
an
area
in
law,
an
area
on
the
Eastern
Shore,
downtown
Baltimore
has
a
site
and
Cecil
County
has
a
site
there's
a
five
locations
and
as
15,000
machines
are
allowed
a
thirds
location.
You
know
the
interesting
saying
some
of
the
people
would
say:
well,
this
is
just
the
beginning,
those
who
are
not
supporting
classes.
A
This
is
a
constitutional
amendment.
The
only
way
there
could
be
any
increase
beyond
what
I
just
described,
they're,
just
the
voters
of
in
some
other
referendum
in
the
future
additional
machine,
so
that
it's
a
bogus,
really
a
bogus
a
complaint
or
argument
in
opposition
to
slot.
We
really
do
mean
this
class
money.
Yes,
maintain
I
mean
we
talked
about
enhancements,
but
with
the
economy
tanking,
the
way
it
is
we're
going
to
need
that
to
just
keep
up
with
where
Maryland
and
locally
Baltimore
County's
want
education
to
be
what.
A
B
A
Thirty
percent
of
Delaware's
receipts
complements
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
are
leaving
our
state
going
to
our
neighbors
and
Pennsylvania
is
just
getting
up
so
I
mean
as
there's
going
to
be
even
a
another
draw
from
Maryland
for
for
the
test.
Vegas
gambling
interests
and
and
that
money
is
supporting
these
other
governments,
and
we
really
need
that
money
if
we
needed
at
home
now.
C
A
They
say
it
without
any
backup
for
the
National
Academy
of
Sciences.
It's
done
an
analysis
and
says
in
the
country,
at
the
double
point,
nine
to
one
and
a
half
percent
of
the
population
of
problem
gamblers.
Other
studies
that
have
been
done
have
indicated
that
the
locations
of
flops
LA
for
casinos
in
an
area
does
not
do
not
increase
that
percentage
of
gambling.
The
National
Institute
of
Justice
has
done
an
analysis
that
location
of
conceit
Cena's
does
not
increase
Klein
in
the
area.
Many
people
say
he's
done.
A
Agni-V
the
opponent's
lots
to
say
these
things,
but
they
don't
have
any
backup,
sport
and
and
the
analysis,
and
the
studies
that
have
been
done
indicates
that
there
there
is
minimal
impact
from
locating
and
the
fluff
says.
The
recommend
amisha
does
include
six
million
dollars
committed
a
year
committed
to
problem
gambling
addictive
gambling
that
so
that
they're
there
are
built-in
to
the
measure
and
acknowledgement.
Is
there
maybe
scripts
on
social
repercussions
and
there's
some
money
set
aside
to
try
to
address
that
those
issues?
That's.
C
A
Well,
number
one:
it's
a
huge
industry:
it's
a
5.2
billion
dollars
in
assets,
it's
about
seven
hundred
and
sixty-five
million
dollars
in
achievement
into
the
economy
for
salaries
and
expenses
that
go
into
the
general
account
it's
8900
jobs.
So
it
is
just
a
big
impact,
but
the
other
thing
it
is.
It
is
a
tremendous
tax
free
way
to
preserve
Lance,
because
these
breeding
farm,
these
tennies
agricultural
farms
and
the
agricultural
industry
makes
a
huge
amount
of
money
from
racing
and
horse
free
who
is
which
possesses
the
agricultural
products
that
they
supply
to
be
solicitous
industry.
A
But
we
preserve
a
lot
of
open
space
in
Baltimore,
County
and
elsewhere
as
a
result,
of
course,
breeding
farms
and
agricultural
areas,
but
we
don't
pay
a
dime
for
now.
Yet
we
do
a
lot
of
vine
easements
and
that
kind
of
thing
so
Reapers
we're
doing
a
lot
of
that
statistic.
This
is
tax
free
and,
if
its
reserves,
those
who
takes
what
it
is
a
tremendous
industry
and
of
itself
flop,
is
anticipated
to
bring
36
hundred
new
jobs
to
Maryland,
hang
33,000
a
minimum.
