BALTIMORE (AP)- Sending by committees for and against expanded gambling in Maryland has exceeded the amount spent in the 2006 governor's race.

According to a filing with the State Board of Elections, a committee hoping to defeat Question 7 reports an outlay of $21.7 million.

A pro-gaming expansion committee reports that it has spent $17.7 million.

The combined total of $35.7 million is more than was spent by Democrat Martin O'Malley and Republican Robert L. Ehrlich when O'Malley defeated the incumbent governor.
