Lucas and Scott say Youngkin’s Virginia Gaming Commission amendment is “DOA”
Sen. Louise Lucas, D-Portsmouth, who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, wrote on social media that some of Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s proposed budget amendments have no chance of passing when the General Assembly returns to Richmond next week. Specifically, Lucas and Speaker of the House Don Scott, D-Portsmouth, say that legislation establishing the Virginia Gaming Commission is “dead on arrival.”
