That's just great. Don't allow slot machines, an issue the governor is for, ran on and won with; raise those taxes.
So, replace lost tax revenue from gambling, money people ARE spending right now that goes to other states (and will continue to) with increased taxes on people earning over $300,000 and increased taxes on corporations.
You'll find nary a word that Maryland might spend to much or might simply slow the rate of growth in spending.
