Some in Richmond held a rally Thursday in response to the latest effort to stop a casino resort coming to the Southside.
Recently, a judge suspended the order that would allow a referendum to make it on the ballot in November. In response, dozens of people chanted and held signs, saying “Let us vote,” outside of Pop’s Bingo World on Thursday afternoon.
“[The casino] will impact a lot of people, a lot of my friends that [are] willing to work that need jobs but don’t have a job,” said Crystal Richards-Jackson, a person at the rally. “So, the 1,300 jobs, I’m sure I can fill about 300 in one day.”
