I interviewed three students from our school (Frostburg
State University) who had mixed opinions about tomorrow's Maryland Election.
Question 7 is one of the topics of controversy in tomorrow's voting. Question 7
is shown here:
Question 7 Gaming Expansion Referendum (Ch. 1 of the Second
2012 Special Session) Gaming Expansion
Do you favor the expansion of commercial gaming in the State
of Maryland for the primary purpose of raising revenue for education to
authorize video lottery operation licensees to operate “table games” as defined
by law; to increase from 15,000 to 16,500 the maximum number of video lottery
terminals that may be operated in the State; and to increase from 5 to 6 the
maximum number of video lottery operation licenses that may be awarded in the
State and allow a video lottery facility to operate in Prince George’s County?
Cathy Close, a Senior Early Childhood Education major here,
said that she is for Question 7 because she feels that it will create jobs and
stimulate Maryland's economy. However, she will not be voting in tomorrow's
election.
Garrett Minnick, a Senior Illustration major here, said that
he is not in favor of Question 7 because he feels that it will not sponsor
funding for education. He goes on to say that he doesn't think that the money
will go to education at all. He will be casting his vote tomorrow.
Rebekah Phillips, a Senior Illustration and Painting major
here, said that she is against Question 7 mostly because she doesn't believe in
gambling. She goes on to say that she doesn't think the money will reach our
schools. She will not be voting in tomorrow election.
Maryland college students have spoken, unofficially for the
most part!
