For some reason the slots are big news in Maryland. Gee, could it be because they're supposed to be illegal? The "charity" cover - where a goodly portion of the proceeds goes to charity - had been talked about for months and they decided it wasn't good enough. It wasn't long ago that bingo itself almost disappeared. I wonder if there are choppers and news crews at the Brass Rail covering the removal of those that benefitted Little Flower.

There was when they were removed about a month ago. It was covered by all the news channels, 4, 5, 7 and 9.

Either they pay hefty hush money or they have not been tipped off, at least now they have not.

I never get to see the local news. I knew there was a huge writeup in the Emptyprize and Mr. McKay's paper about whethere they should stay. I didn't pay much attention after that.

Different county. I think whatever law it is, is county law. I could be wrong.
