Slots at Arundel Mills Mall is a hot button issue.

The group called "Stop Slots at the Mall" wants the casino built at Laurel Park Race Track. But some local business owners are throwing their support behind the cordish company. And its plan to build the casino at Arundel Mills Mall.
 

A coalition of Anne Arundel County business owners met today to show support for the casino

operation at Arundle Mills Mall. They all have business in the county and they feel it would send a wrong message to other business who may want to be in the county.

Some owners think this is the right time for slots to come to the county.

David Cordish, the chairman of The Cordish Company, says he will rely on local ownership to be involved with the casino. He believes the local owners have more at stake to do a good job.

Along with the Governors race and the Congressional race, Question A will be hard fought. Both sides will be on pins and needles come election night concerned about the results.


The group called "Stop Slots at the Mall" is campaigning hard against a casino at Arundel Mills Mall.

It is concerned about the impact a slots parlor would have on the communities surrounding the mall.

Instead, they want it to be built at Laurel Park Race Track.
