and lawmakers could also put the proposal for a prince georges county casino back in play. mike miller suggests that gaming be expanded. he says it is foolish to deny slots locations the ability to offer table games like neighboring states, and to refuse to permit a sixth site in prince georges county which miller calls the best location on the east coast. the maryland legislature adjourned without passing a revenue bill. a special session could be limited to budget matters or include the proposal to expand gaming as well. >>> well, charles kohlson one of the men at the center of the watergate scandal has died. he was widely called the evil genius of president nixon's administration. he helped run nixon's re-election committee when it burglarized the national democratic committee offices. but his prison time was for obstruction of justice in connection to the pentagon papers. he became a christian evangelical who helped prison inmates. he was 80 years old. >>> up next, chuck's back to tell us about a dramatic change in the forecast. >>> and coming up tonight at 11:00, miley cyrus has s

one of them hanging over the budget talks, the idea of having a sixth casino in prince george's county. >> mike miller, the president the senate, he's very eager to get this -- basically they have a referendum, really a referendum state-wide on whether to add a 6th casino. five have been authorized. and this would be the sixth. this would be one of the biggest ones. it would go probably at national harbor. and there's a lot of controversy over this. the prince george's county exec tore is pushing hard for it. >> let's talk about the so- called flush tax. this could double the sewage tax from 30 to 60 bucks a year. >> right. up to basically five bucks a month. to help keep the chesapeake bay clean. this is one proposal governor o'malley has pushed hard. looks like he'll get that. >> good to have you in tonight. >> good to be here, will. >> thank you, see you soon. >>> his race isn't officially over, but newt gingrich is no longer talking like he'll be the nominee for the republicans in the presidential race. the former speaker spoke about his campaign on fox news sunday and it seemed like he had all bu

you want to first of all recognize your leadership and george miller's leadership back in 2007 when we passed the college cost reduction act which reduced an interest rate of 67.8% -- 6.8% which was set as a result of a republican congress in 2002 which passed a budget reconciliation act locking in that higher rate. it has saved 15 million students in this country higher debt levels because we cut that rate from 3.4%. sadly the speaker of the house, john boehner, voted against that measure. sadly my good friend from men mb, the chairman of the house education and work force committee, voted against that measure in 2007. it was well understood it had a five-year sunset, like a lot of programs in tax policies in this congress. people were complaining about the clip we created. how about the bush tax cuts? that's got a $4 trillion cliff on december 31 because the majority party when they enacted the tax cuts sunset that measure. here we are today, 64 days away, and we are now suddenly seeing the majority party nudging on this subject. as mr. miller pointed out, the ryan budget, which the

miller? >> mr. towns, so i agree with general george that it is a significant problem and it stems from a number of reasons, the key of which is timing. we don't have the 1099 or the w-2 often when the return comes in for refund. we do what we can. but under the current systems, we don't have the information to match. we have recently started talking to the community about being more realtime which would -- has in mind exactly what will general george is talking about. the most information we can have at the time of that refund the better off we will all be. we should have the w-2. we should have the 10999s with respect to that person so that we can validate one, that it is the person that should be getting the refund and two, that the amount is correct. >> why can't we get that? >> so we receive many 10999s dual march 30th and we already are mpb 70 million into the refund stream by that time. >> what changes would -- you know, this is why we're having this hearing, you know, to see in terms of what we can correct. i mean, that's the purpose, you know. so what needs to be done? >> you know, this it
