Fairfax County’s chairman of the Board of Supervisors perhaps said it best about Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s veto of a proposed casino in the county, after numerous residents and local officials had vociferously opposed it.
Chairman Jeff McKay cited overwhelming disapproval and general agita about the would-be project to bring poker, blackjack and slot machines to Tysons Corner. “Our residents have been clear in their concerns, and the Board of Supervisors did not ask for a casino and does not need one,” he told me through a spokeswoman last week.
“Those concerns centered on the potential impacts to quality of life, transportation, public safety, and the long-term direction of economic development in our community,” McKay continued.
