📰 News we're reading

• Fairfax board narrowly votes to oppose any casino legislation not requested by supervisors (ffxnow.com) — Fairfax County supervisors have narrowly voted to oppose any state casino legislation for the county unless it’s explicitly requested by the board and key conditions are met, a move strongly backed by Dranesville District Supervisor Jimmy Bierman. State Sen. Jennifer Boysko says her constituents, especially in Dranesville and Hunter Mill, remain firmly against a Tysons-area casino, even as Sen. Scott Surovell plans to reintroduce a bill that could make Fairfax eligible.
