Minute against Slots in Maryland

Second Month, 2004

Annapolis Friends Meeting opposes slots as a source of revenue for the State. In the Spirit of the Quaker Testimonies in support of education and social welfare, our traditional opposition to gambling and with particular concern for the effects of gambling on some of Maryland’s most vulnerable populations, Annapolis Friends Meeting proposes that education and other forms of government services should be adequately supported by means other than slot-machines or other forms of gambling.
