The company Comstock is no relation to the failed politician Comstock.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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

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

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. [/quote]

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

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. [/quote]
