[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll be researching to identify the candidates opposed to the Tyson's casino.  Blindly favoring typical D policy issues of higher taxes and more wealth transfer is less relevant to me than the prospect of a casino in my backyard, a notion which gained traction only in the wake of massive political donations to elected officials who would not have to personally live with the consequences.  Which candidate is taking a principled position on that subject, rather than one driven by campaign donations from those who will profit from it?  [/quote]

So far, all the politicians have been in favor of a casino or abstain from commenting. The official party position appears to be that Northern Virginia needs a casino to send money down state (or commonwealth if you are pedantic.)

Even Fairfax County wants it if they can get a bigger piece of the pie.

Time to vote Republican, apparently.  The D's endless appetite for more and more tax revenue has got to stop.  [/quote]
