Critics of expected legislation that could allow a casino in Tysons dominated a Fairfax County Board of Supervisors hearing yesterday (Tuesday) on 2026 priorities for the Virginia General Assembly.
Speakers from organizations representing residents in Tysons, McLean and Reston — along with the mayor of Vienna — urged supervisors to be more explicit in voicing opposition to the proposal, which likely will return to Richmond early next year.
It was the second time in recent months critics descended on a supervisors’ meeting to press their case. This time, many touted a recent poll conducted on behalf of Freedom Virginia that showed broad opposition to a casino in the county. Casino supporters questioned the legitimacy of the polling data.
