This is correct. Comstock, the developers, have hired lobbyists and it’s become a political fight to get this casino in place. The locals do not want it.

Yes, and where there are lobbyists there is money. People don’t want it but once you get a few elected officials on board it becomes reality. The one drawback of representative government is you just have to “buy” a few people to get the job done.

We will vote them out. See pp about the track record of VA voters keeping riff-raff (Disney, etc) out of the area.

If we had Disney America, there wouldn't be a need for a casino.

Not a big Disney fan but to be fair I seem to recall that people rejected giving Disney the proposed site which was on top of national park territory.

Incorrect.

So, what was the problem? There was some sort of component related to the Manassas battlefield, right? Please remind us.

It would have been *near* historic sites and there seemed to be some concern that Disney would benefit from being near them. Disney sold the land and it became yet another suburb/exurb. I wonder if the SFHs reflect the truth of the historic battlefields.

I think there was more concern that the businesses would become Disney-fied.

Profitable?

No one in NoVa needs or wants a casino. In VA casinos are meant for areas desperate for tax dollar, not NoVa.
