Maryland casino owners will finally be able to have a good night sleep after Maryland Senate President Thomas Mike Miller, Jr. doused off casino tax hike rumors.

Baltimore Business Journal reported that Senate President Miller assured casino owners that the state will not further burden them with more taxes during the Annapolis Summit moderated by radio show host Marc Steiner.

Miller’s statement came in response to a question from Montgomery County Council of PTAs president Paul Gellar that the state is getting shortchanged by the casino owners.

Contrary to Gellar’s belief, Miller pointed out that Maryland casinos are already giving 40 percent of their earnings to the state through taxes. The casinos’ contribution goes into the state’s Education Trust Fund, according to the senator.
