How Howard County Legislators Voted on Gambling Bill
Democrats voted yes, Republicans voted no.
Howard County state legislators voted along party lines, with Republicans against and Democrats for expanded gambling legislation in Maryland. The exception was Democrat Liz Bobo, who was not in attendance for Tuesday night's vote at the special session of the Maryland General Assembly.

thats is right, during the 70s the money from the lottery was supposed to help fund our education programs in the state, I think we all can see that it didnt happen. So who is pocketing the money and now there is even more.
