My only beef with Miller is that he didn't support the Horseracing Heritage Act, whereby a portion of the proceeds from the Keno game entitled "Racetrax", a computer generated horse racing game that's in bars and restaurants throughout the state, were targetted to go to fund purses at MD tracks.
And make no mistake, the only thing Pete Angelos is interested in helping is Pete Angelos.

to hear the reps from western md. tell it, miller helped tie it up too.
