The Baltimore Sun reported today that the House vote on the enabling legislation for Slots in Maryland passed with 71 votes, the bare minimum needed for approval. This clears the way for the approval for the Slots Referendum to be placed on the 2008 ballot in Maryland.

Maryland state Senate President Thomas "Mike" Miller had held up final consideration by the Senate on the rest of the legislation in this Special Session of the General Assembly until the House voted on the Slots companion bill.
Look for things to move swiftly today to approve the budget deficit reduction legislation after Maryland representatives return to work this afternoon. The main areas left for reconciliation between the House and the Senate are the creation of income brackets and the per cent of tax attached to each bracket. Also the tax rate and combined reporting for businesses will need to be reconciled.
