The latest attempt to allow a casino gaming resort in Fairfax County is moving forward in Virginia’s legislature, putting one of Northern Virginia’s most contentious issues back on the table, and the fight is heating up.
Lynne Mulston of No Fairfax Casino knew the fight would be long and likely uphill the entire way. It’s led her to Virginia’s capitol building, where No Fairfax Casino is lobbying state lawmakers to vote against a bill that would allow a massive casino gaming resort in Fairfax County.
“Residents and voters in Fairfax County do not want and do not need a casino in their community,” Mulston said.
Democratic Virginia Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell says Fairfax County needs new tax revenue from a project like the casino.
