In bed with the devil?

One of the Governors best corporate friends is showing their true colors in Ohio. Penn Gaming made a lot of promises to Franklin County, Ohio constituents if a casino was allowed. Now that a casino has been approved, Penn Gaming is saying not only do they not want to pay taxes, they want subsidies. In order to get around paying taxes, Penn Gaming is going to inject the sewage from the casino into a well. On the same property, Penn Gaming is going to drill a well for patron consumption.

Casino ponders sewage 'well'

Laurel Racetrack and Pimlico are crying poor, search their couch cushions and find enough change to buy Rosecroft racetrack. Tell their friend, the Governor to give them money. The Governor relies on unaudited financial reports to give himself political cover and proposes a taxpayer bailout. The Maryland legislature should not fall for this ruse and rely on "Unaudited Financial" reports provided by Penn Gaming. Maryland taxpayers deserve and should demand better! Penn Gaming has a history of breaking promises and using hardball tactics against states and local governments as outlined in Unite Here's (hospitality workers union that represents workers in the gaming industry across the country) March 14th legislative report, Penn National Broken Promises and Hardball Tactics.
