Building a casino will play into Trump’s / MAGA’s hands, you’ll see. The Dem pushing it was formerly GOP.

I could not give a damn about party politics. Why is everything being turned into democrat/republican debate, when there is an objective serious issue here? A gambling establishment has no place in a residential community, in the center of commerce, where a lot of people go to WORK DAILY, shop, commute, etc. There is a reason casinos are isolated and harder to get to. People going about their daily lives will not be able to avoid it. Might as well open a bunch of payday loan offices, pawn shops and check cashing places all around it.

Don't worry it's not coming at least not to Tysons. Surovell just got slammed at the senate subcommittee vote earlier this morning, lol:

Just as Surovell began introducing Senate Bill 756 Chairwoman Louise Lucas (D-Norfolk) informed him there was a committee substitute. A motion was made, seconded and the committee passed the substitute.

"Senator Surovell, the committee substitute removes out the mandated location of the casino, it was not really the only difference," said April Kees, a committee staff member.

Surovell then attempted to present SB756, but another motion was made, seconded and voted on to recommend the bill to the Rules Subcommittee. As Surovell stepped away from the podium, he appeared speechless.

DW told me what's up:

Much of that work appeared to be moving forward after extended discussions with advocates, industry representatives, and legislators. But last week, State Senator Scott Surovell, chair of the Senate Courts of Justice Committee, introduced a series of surprise amendments to SB542 that shifted key provisions and expanded penalties for unlicensed cannabis activity. Surovell argued that cannabis-related crimes should align more closely with existing alcohol laws and that without meaningful penalties there would be little incentive for people to enter the legal retail market.

Lucas wants legalization. Surovell just figured out who is in charge.

What does removing out the mandate of having casino in Tyson’s actually do for moving the project forward or backwards? I assume Surovell can still move it along?

If the casino isn't going to be in NoVA, then Surovell can't benefit from it, either directly or indirectly. Why would he support a casino elsewhere in the state?

+1. It will be in Tysons.

And Spanberger is supporting the casino.

+1. I don’t care about party politics either. But the way this is headed, I have to ask - what the hell is wrong with Virginia’s democrats? WE DON’T WANT A CASINO IN FAIRFAX COUNTY!!

And where is Spanberger? I have not see anything saying she will veto this. If she doesn’t veto this, and the casino goes through, I want my vote back!!

The nova commercial buildings are empty. They say 25 percent vacancy but it's a lie everybody in the buildings knows it . The whole commercial real estate sector is in high levels of default . Casino will help and is the low hanging fruit

She supported the casino in the campaign trail. This was not a surprise. Very doubtful that she will veto a bill on the casino here.
