Fairfax County Board of Supervisors is updating the letter they sent to legislators last January outlining their concerns about the Tysons casino referendum legislation.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell is the chief patron of Senate Bill 982, which would give the supervisors the power to put a casino referendum on a ballot for Fairfax County residents to decide.
In January 2024, Board Chair Jeff McKay (D-At-Large) wrote a letter to legislative leaders in Richmond notifying them the board had not sought the authority to put a casino referendum on the ballot. His letter also noted that as the law stands, the state would receive the lion’s share of the tax revenue from a casino in Tysons.
