State Roundup, August 20, 2012

With a slew of referendums filling the November ballot, Maryland voters will have a lot to think about before they get to the polls; live dealers would make gambling more entertaining for customers; slots at veterans posts will still mean that only veterans and their guests could enter the posts; state jobless rate inches up to 7%; state’s Ready by 21 program helps young adults leave foster care; minority caucus for MACo moves ahead; Lt. Gov. Brown subs for O’Malley during MACo speech, laying out what could be his gubernatorial platform; a bunch of other governor hopeful gather; Senate hopeful Bongino gets an endorsement; and O’Malley to speak at Dem convention.

O’Malley was defending Vice President Joe Biden of the loose lips and McDonnell took up for the Republican vice presidential nominee designee, Rep. Paul Ryan of the tight budget.
