Yes, then when O'Malley took over, they approved casinos AND raised taxes (40 tax increases in all, including the "rain tax.")
They never met a tax they didn't like -- or at lest one they didn't hike.
And they added one more casino than the people had authorized --- and instead of putting the casinos at the track like most other states do (to save Maryland racing, the intent of the proposal), we're getting them at National Harbor, in downtown Baltimore, and at a shopping mall, of all places.
Where we needed it, if we were going to do it, was at Laurel Park. It needs an upgrade. But nothing happens.
WILL Larry Hogan walk the walk After Wed. in the NOT so Free State???
