The Frederick News-Post opines:

Hard economic times can cause people and governments to make dubious financial decisions such as going further into debt — or legalizing gambling — to help make ends meet today. Better economic times are sure to return, but once it is approved, legalized gambling, along with its many and varied attendant ills, will be here to stay.

Once we enshrine slot machine gambling into the Constitution, it will be very, very difficult to take it back.
