Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker is pushing for approval of a feasibility study into bringing slot machines into the county to help mend a budget shortfall.
In an interview with The Washington Post ahead of next month's opening of the Maryland General Assembly, Baker said "it would be irresponsible" to not take gambling proposals into consideration.
"We have to look at almost everything," Baker told the paper.
Prince George's County is facing a $100 million budget gap next year, while the state of Maryland is facing a $1 billion shortfall. In addition to slot machines, a raise in the state's gas tax and the shifting of teacher pension costs to individual counties.
