Maryland: Slots casino location prompts petition signature drive
A coalition has submitted nearly 24,000 signatures supporting a referendum on Anne Arundel County’s fall ballot that could overturn a decision allowing the state’s largest slots casino at a mall. Citizens Against Slots at the Mall submitted 23,702 signatures to the Anne Arundel County Board of Elections on Thursday afternoon in support of a referendum that would allow county voters to decide whether to permit slots at Arundel Mills, according to the groups coordinating the effort. Joseph A. Torre III, director of the county’s board of elections, did not respond to a request for comment.
