SportscastingA Maryland legislator provided his peers with lessons on online casino billsAt a summer meeting for the National Council of Legislators in Gaming States, Senator Ron Watson had insightful comments. He helped lead a discussion about online casino legalization and was able to give quality information to those less knowledgeable about the topic. Watson claims that he would have done things differently if he were in charge. Senator Watson led the discussion to legalize online casinos with his peers in the Senate.
