Panelists Include...
Del. Ana Sol Gutierrez - Delegate, Dist 18
Allan Lichtman - AU Professor and Commentator
Josh Kurtz - Political Editor, Roll Call
Elbridge James - President, Progressive MD
Aaron Meisner - Stop Slots Maryland

The Special Legislative Session made major changes in state income,
corporate, and sales taxes and in the state budget. It approved a
referendum for 2008 to decide whether slots should be legalized. How do
all these changes add up? Did the burden fall on working Marylanders?
How did social programs fare? What happened to progressive proposals,
such as an income tax more heavily tilted toward the wealthy and a tax
to ensure that corporations pay their fair share? What are the chances
of defeating slots in 2008? For further information about the meeting,
