STOP/SLOTS Works Polls on Primary Day- League Member Barbara Matzen Coit has provided a report on the continuing efforts of the coalition known as StopSlots Maryland of which LWVMD is a member.
StopSlots Talking Points- Equity Fairness: A graduated income tax with a series of rates and income brackets should be the first choice if a revenue increase is necessary.
THE SLOTS LEGISLATION- The League of Women Voters strongly opposed both bills covered below:
THE EDUCATION TRUST FUND
The bill proposed the following
• that there will be slots and casinos
Video Lottery Terminals- There is no time to waste if we want to ensure that the Referendum on Slots does not pass. THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS ARE VERY STRONGLY AGAINST PASSAGE OF THE REFERENDUM
Action Alert-Special Session Revenue Package- The three key messages are:
1) Reform the income tax so that it is progressive and generates sufficient revenue.
2) Oppose slot machine gambling in Maryland.
