Fraternal Groups Want To Operate Slot Machines

OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) ― The Ocean City Town Council is being asked to support possible state legislation allowing fraternal organizations to operate slot machines.

Ocean City Elks Lodge treasurer Jim Flaig says his group has already raised the issue with state lawmakers in the area and hopes to meet with the Speaker of the House Michael Busch and State Senate President Thomas V. "Mike" Miller.

Flaig has sent a letter to the town council seeking its endorsement of the proposal.

A bill that would have allowed fraternal organizations to operate slot machines for their members and guests failed in the General Assembly this year.
