Richmond casino redo can go on ballot, but Va. budget would delay licensing

(Richmond).- Richmond can proceed with a second voter referendum on a casino in November, but a new state budget agreement would not allow the Virginia Lottery to license the facility if it’s approved until after completion of legislative study of a potential rival site in Petersburg.
The Senate had included a prohibition against a second Richmond casino referendum in its version of the budget this winter. Budget negotiators changed tactics after a Richmond judge approved putting the referendum on the ballot for city voters who rejected the project last year.
“They can have a referendum if they want to, but we just won’t agree to issue the license,” said House Appropriations Chair Barry Knight, R-Virginia Beach, who was one of the sponsors of legislation two years ago that allowed referendums on legalized casino gaming in five cities, including Richmond.
