From the dais, Franchot called slots "corrosive" and said the revenue it will generate is "inconsequential to the difficult decisions that must now be made in the upcoming weeks and months."

An O'Malley Special
While in Gaithersburg, Maryland's "capital for a day" Thursday, Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) was greeted with a new sandwich bearing his name.
The governor, a Montgomery County native, lunched with biotech executives at Roy's Place, a mainstay for 50 years with more than 200 specialty sandwiches. On Thursday, No. 213 was unveiled. It features roast beef, melted horseradish cheddar cheese, grilled and sliced portobello mushrooms, onions, tomatoes and crushed cherry peppers.
"I guess I helped inspire it somehow," O'Malley told the crowd.
The name of the sandwich: O'Malley's Crusade (From Lead Guitarist to Leader of the State. What a Ride.).
Not to nitpick, but a source familiar with his musical career confirms that O'Malley, frontman of the semi-retired Celtic rock band O'Malley's March, has never played lead guitar.
Speaking of guitars, while strolling through Gaithersburg, O'Malley stopped at Victor Litz Music Center, where he cradled a $1,000 acoustic guitar, playing a few verses of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" with TV cameras rolling.
