Lawmakers deciding on a controversial bill to develop a casino and entertainment complex in Tysons Corner tabled a decision Wednesday after House leadership moved the bill between House committees for consideration.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell’s Senate Bill 982 would have added Fairfax County to the list of Virginia localities eligible to develop a casino that backers say would bring jobs and revenue for the county and commonwealth.
But after successfully passing the Senate with a 24-16 vote, the bill still remains in a House Appropriations subcommittee.
“We’re going to keep talking about it,” Surovell, D-Fairfax, said after Wednesday’s vote.
