we've done and the direction we are heading. >> reporter: by the way, i also asked the mayor when he might be able to say something more about this campaign investigation, anticipated sawed the timetable is not up to him. he is simply waiting for the u.s. attorney to complete his investigation before he speaks in the future. in the newsroom, matt ackland, fox 5 news. >> thank you. a popular fast food chain at the center of a growing controversy over same-sex marriage. up next on fox 5 morning news. >> you are abuying from chick- fil-a? >> i'm buying from chick-fil-a and i will continue to buy from chick-fil-a. chick-fil-a. >> stay with us. over the next four months, you have a choice to make. not just between two political parties, or even two people. it's a choice between two very different plans for our country. governor romney's plan would cut taxes for the folks at the very top. roll back regulations on big banks. and he says that if we do, our economy will grow and everyone will benefit. but you know what? we tried t that top down approa. it's what caused the mess in the first place. i believe the only way to create an economy built to last is to strengthen the middle class. asking the wealthy to pay a little more so we can pay down our debt in a balanced way. so that we can afford to invest in education, manufacturing, and home-grown american energy for good middle class jobs. sometimes politics can seem very small. but the choice you face, it couldn't be bigger. ♪ i'm barack obama and i approve this message. is. there is even more backlash against chick-fil-a. company's president reiterated his stance against gay marriage earlier this month. >> a chicago city leader says he will not allow chick-fil-a to open in his ward unless it can prove it

the population. >> chick-fil-a president dan cathy says the company supports biblical principles and the biblical definition the marriage. protests are marched to the chick-fil-a truck in downtown d.c. on thursday. we have the story. the story. >> reporter: the lunch hour. 12th and g, the chantsz were provocative. so were the t-shirts and sign. saying things like love conquers hate and homophobia is a bunch of bull organized by a group called the human rights campaign. >> they have anti-gay employment policies. they score a zero on our corporate equality index and they've come out publicly in opposition to marriage equality. >> reporter: they handed out leaflets which said the chain fun else millions of dollars to groups that oppose gay marriage, denounce their lifestyle and have been identified as a hate group by the southern poverty law center. >> chick-fil-a is anti-gay! >> reporter: the folks with the human rights campaign say they are not trying to get people to boycott chick-fil-a and it is a good thing because look at this line. >> we are not telling people not to buy from them. we are just raising awareness of what they're doing. >> reporter: the lunch crowd didn't seem to care. >> you buying from chick-fil-a? >> i sure am buying from chick- fil-a. >> reporter: despite the heat and high humidity, people in line were almost adamant about getting their favorite chick- fil-a lunch. many were familiar with the policies of the family that owns the company. >> they are a christian company and they do not support gay marriage and they've been closed on sundays for years so they respect their christian values. >> i am a christian but it doesn't make a difference. i buy from subway. i don't ask the gentleman what is his religous rights. >> i

morning. hazy, hot and humid conditions continue today. yesterday, hit 100. today, not quite as hot, mid- 90s. >> a cooldown to the 90s. >> i just want to laugh. i'm like really? >> not calling it a cooldown. can't go that far. we are headed in the right direction. it will get better by the end of the wound. so just hang in there as things will get more comfortable. 78 in washington. not a terribly comfortable start to your day with partly cloudy skies i think for sunrise and a few leftover showers. these are the leftovers from last night when we had the rather ominous frontal system and showers and storms off to the north and west. still a couple of light showers up towards frederick and out to the west, out towards winchester. generally falling apart. much of your morning will be dry but by mid- to late afternoon, as is typical this time of year, we'll see scattered storms redevelop. just like yesterday, some of the storms could be on the strong side. there is your forecast. partial sunshine, hot and humid. highs in the mid-90s. we do have a heat advisory for parts of the area including the district of columbia which starts at twelve noon. i'll show you that in

expanding gambling in maryland. >> he is expected to announce his decision later on this morning. sherry ly is live at national harbor. >> reporter: god morning. prince george's county does have the plans. they do have the site here at national harbor overlooking the waterfront for a propose ad casino. what they don't have is the go- ahead from lawmakers that. could all change today with the governor's expected decision on a special session that could bring a casino here one step closer to reality. governor marten o'malley had state leaders coming and going in and out of meetings and for week, there was no deal on expanding gambling. >> i think there is a broad consensus to be had here and that will allow us to resolve this gaming issue in maryland. >> reporter: now, administration

six casinos and allow table games. >> i think we have a great chance of getting the referendum through. >> rushern baker backs expanding gambling. >> as i said to the governor, it is about bringing revenues in to help the state of maryland and help prince george's county. >> one of the arguments opponents of expanding casino gambling in maryland have used is that by going from five to six casinos, customers would leave the sites that are already approved. in fact, several visitors at national harbor told us maryland already has enough gambling. >> that is not something that i especially would look for at national harbor. because you have a nice distinctive quality experience here without it. >> i live across the street from the arundel mill mall where they put maryland live so i mean it is not too bad. i would go. >> well, i'm not really a big- time gambler but yes, i think i would probably question visit there. >> reporter: a special session is not an automatic windfall for more gambling. any referendum from annapolis still needs voter approval in november. rosecroft raceway has its eye on a special session. developers there don't want to be locked out as a potential casino site. so while national harbor is the odds-on frontrunner, there is no agreement even among the gambling supporters that national harbor here should be the site of the state's sixth casino. that is the late here at national harbor. back to you. >> thank you. a fox 5 follow-up now to a tragic story out of woodbridge, virginia where a 4-year-old boy accidentally shot and killed
