ANNAPOLIS, Md. (CBSCD/AP) ? The Maryland Senate is debating amendments to a measure to permit table games like craps at Maryland casinos and to allow a casino in Prince George?s County.
The Senate on Friday rejected an amendment sponsored by Sen. Nancy Jacobs that would have raised impact grants in Allegany, Cecil and Worcester counties from $200,000 to $400,000.
Jacobs, a Republican who represents the part of Cecil County where the Perryville casino is located, says the additional money is needed, because the community has lost money from a decline in business since the state?s largest casino opened in Anne Arundel County.
But Sen. Richard Madaleno, D-Montgomery, says the Anne Arundel County casino only just opened in June, and it?s too soon to know whether the changes will be long lasting.
