Gambling Interest Money Turned Down By Slots Opponents In Md.

The state of Maryland has a heated battle going on between groups that want slot machine expansion in the state and their opponents. The opponents even include members with actual gambling interests.

The opponents of the expanded slots, however, are not being so quick to run and get support from the gambling interests groups. In fact, they have made it very clear that they do not want campaign money from the groups.

StopSlotsMaryland and Marylanders United To Stop Slots have both come out and vowed not to accept any campaign money from groups with gambling interests. That move comes even as those groups money would go a long way in helping in the fight against slot expansion.

The groups have offered up the money because although they are in the gambling business, they fear that expansion could hurt their existing business. They have joined the fight against expanded slots gambling even though the two groups appear to be fighting from different corners.

While some groups have turned down the money, others have not ruled out the possibility of accepting contributions. For Maryland, Our Future has said that they would still consider accepting contributions from the gambling interest groups.
