As you might imagine, I find regressive taxes repulsive,
and I find
state-sponsored gambling nauseating. Here’s one Maryland
Delegate’s
viewpoint – complete with facts – that states
my position more clearly than
I can.

Commission on http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/ngisc/. The
University of North
Texas is providing a wonderful service, archiving the websites
of “dead” government commissions, agencies, etc. They call it their “cyber-cemetery.” Check it out.
