County reconsiders site rejected for community center, library

“The only other thing I can think of is to sell the property to a developer, and with the proceeds from the sale, buy another piece of property”

A county library and community center are planned for Arbutus at a site rejected by Baltimore County officials several years ago because of residents' opposition.

The county-owned parcel at Sulphur Spring and Selford roads near the Huntsmoor neighborhood is being considered again because county officials couldn't find another suitable site for the facilities, Councilman Stephen G. 'Sam' Moxley, said yesterday.

But because some residents remain opposed to the location, Baltimore County is going through its own development process, which includes a community input meeting and a hearing, where residents will be allowed to discuss concerns. Read more

Panel hears of aggressive push for electronic bingo

“We never received an official request to place machines because from the very start, I told them they were wasting their time.”

Electronic gambling machines -- devices that resemble slots -- have been proliferating in rural Maryland counties recently, in part because of a concerted lobbying effort by their manufacturer.

Officials in one municipality, afraid that they could be subject to a lawsuit for refusing to allow the machines, revised their gambling statutes late last year to protect themselves from litigation, according to testimony before a legislative committee Wednesday.

Among the most aggressive interests involved in the campaign is Frank Moran & Sons, an Arbutus-based company represented by lobbyist Bruce C. Bereano. Read more
