Question 7 doesn’t smell right We’ve heard the empty promises about jobs and education. But here are the facts about Question 7: Fact #1 – Gambling expansion does not guarantee increased school funding. There’s a loophole in the law that allows politicians to move money from one account to the other with almost no accountability.

Fact #2 – The jobs claims don’t add up. When National Harbor was built, less than 4% of the contracts went

to local, minority-owned businesses. And almost 90% of Maryland’s construction workers won’t even be able to apply for construction jobs at the site.

Fact #3 – The Baltimore Sun says Question 7 is “a bad deal for Maryland.” (Editorial, 9/7/12)
