A planned casino in Tysons, Virginia, was dealt a significant setback in the state House of Delegates Wednesday, with lawmakers putting aside a bill to allow its development.
The bill to authorize the creation of a casino in Fairfax County was passed in the Virginia Senate earlier this month in a bipartisan vote, 24-16. Still, the proposal split Democrats from the area. On Wednesday, a state House subcommittee voted to “pass the bill by for the day,” with no additional subcommittee hearing scheduled before the end of the session. It will likely not advance any further this session.
