Maryland Special Session on Expanded Gaming

Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley gives an update on why he called for a special session of the General Assembly to address the expanded gaming issue. There is no progress without jobs. By moving forward on expanded gaming, we have an opportunity to create thousands of new construction jobs and as many as 2,000 permanent jobs. What's more, by acting now, we have an opportunity to secure an additional $100 million in new revenue for Maryland's #1 in the nation public schools. This issue has always been a very divisive one for the General Assembly and that's why we need to move forward and resolve it now. Progress is a choice Job creation is a choice. Maximizing the return on Maryland gaming for the benefit of Maryland families -- this, too, is a choice.
