If Virginia passes a bill to pave the way for a casino in Fairfax County, the chairman of the county board says he won’t put the issue before voters.
Under the legislation, Fairfax County would need to get approval from voters on whether casino gaming should be allowed before moving forward on a proposal.
The bill has not yet made it to Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s desk as lawmakers in both chambers still need to address the differences in the versions of the bill that was passed.
Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Jeff McKay told WTOP he would not hold a referendum posing the casino question to voters, should the legislation be signed into law as is.
