From ABC 2 News (Maryland), about the moderate-conservative Republican: "Former Republican National Committee Chairman and former Maryland Lt. Governor Michael Steele and former Maryland State Republican Party Chairwoman Audrey Scott announced Tuesday their support for Question 7. They said the measure would create thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions for education in Maryland by making our gaming program competitive with neighboring states."
More: "Michael Steele and Audrey Scott co-wrote a letter to Republican voters urging support for Question 7 and a rejection of an anticipated $40 million negative advertising campaign from West Virginia's Penn National casino. They also explain how Question 7 will generate thousands of good jobs, create a regional draw for out-of-state entertainment dollars by permitting a resort casino in Prince George's County, and generate hundreds of millions of dollars in new revenues for school systems and local governments across the state, including Western Maryland and the Eastern Shore."
