Virginia State Sen. Joe Morrissey is still determined to stop Richmond City Hall from betting on another referendum for a casino.
“I will do what I can to make sure there’s budget language that prohibits Richmond from getting a casino,” said Morrissey, D-16th District.
Monday night, Richmond City Council voted to move the ONE Casino + Resort project back to the ballot this fall. The move comes after the measure failed in 2021, with 51% of voters saying no.
“I’m disappointed that Richmond keeps going back, trying to get a referendum. It reminds me of the movie Groundhog Day. We hear it over and over again,” said Sen. Morrissey.
