Default Name the person....

Name the person/s associated with the following items or quotes:

1) "slots do not belong in racing," and that if they are approved for a Maryland track he owns he would not implement them.

2) ...he told reporters that he wants to revive Maryland horse racing without slot machines.

3) "Slots do not belong in thoroughbred racing,"

4) He wants a slots license to open a stand alone casino in Anne Arundel County, Maryland - a place for only slot machines.

5) His casino's revenues would be used to support a new racetrack that he would build elsewhere in the state of Maryland to compete against Pimlico and Laurel

6) "Why don't we go after a license and use that money to rebuild the thoroughbred racing industry? I'm committed to putting all the money back into Maryland and the industry,"

7) "These things (slots), they're cancer,"

8) Indeed, in a fit of hyperbole, he said that he “would rather go to jail than implement” slots.

If that's Glendening, at least we know his opinion doesn't count.

Is it a member of the legislature? Not Busch, but the other feller.

Not only is Magna and Minor gearing up for a run at slots in the Anne Arundel County location (aka the Laurel Park area site) but now Hard Rock International has paired up with the Treasurer of the MD Democratic Party to possibly make a run for the site license too.

I don't know how some of these guys can ever say anything with a straight face.....

Minor is a Grade 1 gas bag who somehow manages to keep his name in the news without actually doing anything.
