New contributor - lobbyist for casino has connection to Comstock.[/quote]
[quote] The latter donation [$100,000] was made to Virginia Sen. Louise Lucas (D-Portsmouth) the senate's president pro tempore and chair of the Finance and Appropriations Committee, where SB 675 is currently awaiting consideration.[/quote]
With that $100k “donation” (which can be used for anything) to Virginia Senator Lucas, the bill is likely to make it out of the Finance and Appropriations Committee the the floor for a full vote.[/quote]

February 13 seems to be the deadline.

The bill isn’t specific to Tysons though that’s the current site being pushed. So, in reality, if passed, this casino could happen anywhere in Fairfax, right?[/quote]
Technically, yes.  However, under current development conditions, all the qualifying sites are around three metro stations in Tyson’s.  With future development, other Fairfax County metro stations could conceivably qualify, but, if that happened, it would be a long way off.  You can see the map of currently qualifying areas here:
