Special interests are hoping to strike it rich next year in Richmond. It’s a shifting political landscape for a proposed Tysons Corner casino.
The closer you live to a proposed casino site in Fairfax County, the more likely you are to oppose it. That’s how Delegate Holly Seibold of Vienna explains her opposition to the proposed entertainment district in Tysons Corner featuring a casino.
“The constituents in my district would like their voices heard loud and clear,” Seibold says. “They didn’t ask for this casino, nor do they want one.”
Last year, the proposal passed the Senate but died in the House. Next year, things might be a bit different, says Senator Dave Marsden.
