Will Annapolis Misuse Slots Funds?

A voter makes an important point:

When the state lottery was sold to Marylanders in 1973, the funds were to be used for education. Since that time, lottery funds have supported educational initiatives such as sports stadiums for rich jocks.

Now we have a ballot proposal to legalize slots - one that says that the proceeds will benefit education ("Slots ballot wording is criticized," Aug. 19).

The only educational benefit I believe will come from such a proposal is the continuing education of Maryland voters that elected officials are not to be believed about how they will use money.

They broke your trust when it came to lottery revenues going to education. Given their history of broken promises, can you really trust Annapolis withs lots revenue?
