A Richmond Circuit Court judge ruled in favor of the City of Richmond’s petition to hold another casino referendum in November.
A local non-profit group — Richmond Lodge No. 1 of the Good Lions, Inc. — filed a motion on Aug. 15 to stop the referendum which would require Richmond residents to once again vote on a proposed casino on the city’s Southside. After suspending the order on the referendum, Richmond Circuit Court judge, William Marchant, said he would file his ruling on the motion to intervene on Wednesday, Aug. 23.
Marchant decided to give both the nonprofit and the City three days from the suspension to prepare their arguments and submit their cases.
