Del. Glen Glass will join us this week on “The Harford Edge” to talk about expanded gambling in Maryland. With a bill now passed to add table games to existing slots parlors, Del. Glass will talk about what the new legislation may mean for the Hollywood Casino in Perryville and more, live on Friday, August 17th on WAMD Radio 970 AM.
Also on “The Harford Edge”, we’ll talk about the news of the week on The Dagger, including the remarkable story of teacher who was falsely accused of biting a student, and get an update on Wal-Mart’s plans to open a Supercenter in Bel Air. Plus, we’ll have the 411 on community events to enjoy in and around Harford County.
Stay on the cutting edge of news in Harford County and beyond. Join me, Cindy Mumby of The Dagger and my co-host Mark Schlottman, for “The Harford Edge”, Harford County’s only news talk show powered by local news from The Dagger.
“The Harford Edge” airs live every Friday morning from 8 a.m. – 9 a.m., on WAMD Radio 970 AM in Aberdeen and on the internet at www.khztv.com. Listen to encore radio presentations each Saturday morning from 9 a.m. – 10 a.m.
Let’s thank State Delegate Rick Impallaria for his effort in Annapolis Tuesday night. Finally our veteran’s organizations such as The American Legions and VFW’s will be allowed gamming. We all know that gambling is here to stay and now our veterans clubs will be able to have 5 machines. I would also like to thank Senators Barry Glassman and J. B. Jennings for their support in the senate. What is disappointing to me is that our other delegates voted against the bill knowing that if the veterans did not get gamming in the special session, they never would. It was more important to them to hand the Governor a defeat than help the veterans. By reading the papers they all sound happy now but when the arm twisting by leadership started they all caved, but 1. Some counties such as Cecil and Kent have had gamming in veterans clubs for years. Those counties got that for there support for the construction of the subway. Harford County was to be part of that but then elected State Delegate Barbara Osborn Kreamer rejected it and our local veteran’s organization has been suffering ever since. I would also like to point out that the bill passed by only 1 vote.
From a gold star sibling, Thanks!
