The No Fairfax Casino Coalition is urging Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) to veto legislation that would facilitate the building of a casino in Fairfax County, following the bill’s passage in the House of Delegates on Wednesday.
The coalition has cited concerns regarding local authority, community sentiment, and the economic assumptions supporting Senate Bill 756.
Lynne Mulston, coalition steering committee chair, stated that the coalition remains opposed to placing a casino in Fairfax County. Mulston said opposition from residents and the Board of Supervisors has been clear. She added that the legislation was not requested and is unwelcome in the county.
