Old School: Tuned In By Carol McEwen, All of us have memories of our “firsts:” our first kiss, our first love, our first job, etc. A happy memory of mine is the day we got our first TV, in 1955. The back story: my parents, frugal as always, were the last people in the

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 9, 2026 Chairman Statement on Governor Spanberger's Veto of Casino Bill Fairfax, VA - On behalf of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and our over 1 million residents, I would like to thank Governor Spanberger for her veto of SB756, also known as the casino bill. Governor Spanberger was gracious with her time in affording me the opportunity to outline the Board of Supervisors' and our residents' concerns on this matter. This veto demonstrates the Governor's respect for local authority and being responsive to those we represent. Our residents have been clear in their overwhelming opposition to a casino in Fairfax County. I look forward to continuing to work with the Governor and the General Assembly in making Virginia affordable for all of our residents. In Governor Spanberger, the Commonwealth has a leader who will fight for us day in and day out and I could not be prouder as a Virginian for a leader such as herself.

Great news for #FairfaxCounty. Agree 100% with our county board chair’s statement.

Placing a casino in Tysons would chase away major employers from the economic engine for #FairfaxCounty and #Virginia. My message remains unchanged: we ask Governor Spanberger to veto the casino bill.
