Governor, Legislators Engage in Last-Minute Slots Negotiations

ANNAPOLIS, Maryland -- Gov. Robert Ehrlich and Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller worked Friday to try to resurrect stalled slot machine legislation and get it approved before the 2005 session ends Monday, but there was no sign of compromise from House Speaker Michael Busch.

Ehrlich met with Miller, his slot machines ally, in the morning, and then came down to House Speaker Michael Busch's office late in the afternoon for a private discussion that lasted about 20 minutes.

Ehrlich said afterward that he and the speaker had agreed not to comment on their discussion.
