Back in May, we commented on the fact that very few “anti-slots” politicians were stepping up to support the campaign against the referendum. After seeing the financial contributions reported by Marylanders United to Stop Slots, it appears that the number of genuine “anti-slots” politicians is very small indeed.
Following are the campaign accounts that donated to Marylanders United to Stop Slots:
Friends of Peter Franchot: $6,000
Friends for Delegate J.W. Hubbard (D-23A, Prince George’s): $1,000
Citizens for Josh Cohen (Anne Arundel County Council): $1,000
Friends of George Leventhal (Montgomery County Council): $1,000
Citizens for Paul Pinsky (Senate D-22, Prince George’s): $600
Citizens for Karen Montgomery (D14, Montgomery): $500
And as the Baltimore Sun noted, the Comptroller donated an extra $500 of his own money.
Now how much would you like to bet that the overwhelming majority of the non-contributing “anti-slots” politicians secretly hope the referendum passes?
