@TylerEnglander Great to see you covering the story!!!

@GovernorVA @VirginiaLottery If you go by total sales, today's boycott would cost the state about $12.6 million. (Note: Not every retailer is participating.)

[Tyler Englander @TylerEnglander]

@GovernorVA According to the @VirginiaLottery website, in 2023, proceeds were $867.4 million.

If you divide that by 365, you get $2.38 million.

That means the state will miss out on $2.38 million in proceeds because of today's boycott. (Note: Not every retailer is participating.)

@GovernorVA campaign promise in 2021 to support #smallbusinessowner by approving games in stores. What changed in 2024… @TylerEnglander @SenLouiseLucas @AaronRouseVaBch @ankit_pate43655 @HarshPatel23394

@munir1977 @GovernorVA @TylerEnglander @SenLouiseLucas @AaronRouseVaBch @HarshPatel23394 Please keep the promise !!

@TylerEnglander @GovernorVA With the amendments, he clearly made a side with casinos !!! ITS not an amendments it's a substitute bill which was done to safe guard casinos in Virginia who are in VA only from few years and we store owners are having business and paying taxes from many year well before casinos

[ankit patel @ankit_pate43655]

@TylerEnglander @GovernorVA 1000's of store owners are fighting for their survival. Lot of store will shutdown without this supplemental income. It's about governor should be fair to each and every individual of the state and should not look out for only big corporations and Casinos.

[Tyler Englander @TylerEnglander]

Breaking: Hundreds of stores across Virginia won’t be selling lottery tickets today to protest @GovernorVA amendments to a bill meant to legalize skill games in Virginia.

[ankit patel @ankit_pate43655]

Today 100's of small business owners will stop selling lottery in protest to @GovernorVA SB212 amendments. @SenLouiseLucas @TylerEnglander @AaronRouseVaBch @BillStanley

@SenLouiseLucas @BillStanley @AaronRouseVaBch and team we are so thankfull to you all that we still have hopes in our system. Without you all 1000's of family will loose thier income and livelihood. 10's of thousands of employees families are dependent on you.

[ankit patel @ankit_pate43655]

I am hopeful our bipartisan coalition of lawmakers who have had our back on SB 212 will save Virginia’s small businesses. @GovernorVa amendments are a slap in the face to the little guys. #SaveSmallBusiness

Midlothian Rosie's and Danville casino can open with 2500 feet of church but existing small mom amd pop shop cannot have 4 skill games . Kudos to our friend @GovernorVA who once during the campaign was all about small business owners @TylerEnglander @BillStanley .

[ankit patel @ankit_pate43655]

@SenLouiseLucas We need someone to take a stand for small businesses owners because if @GovernorVA is taking big casinos side and put all the restrictions to not have any skill games in 70 % of virginia due to restrictions it will be hard to do any business.

[L. Louise Lucas @SenLouiseLucas]

Buckle Up Glenn- I am coming back to Richmond on Wednesday to deal with your nonsense.

[ankit patel @ankit_pate43655]

@gmoomaw Like Many things is Virginia at one point in Virginia it was " NO CASINO ZONE" How about we keep it same. As @GovernorVA gave approval to out of state casinos why cant we help Virginia's local people who are spine for VA economy.

[ankit patel @ankit_pate43655]

@AaronRouseVaBch We appreciate all the work you are doing to safe guard future of 10's of thousands of small business owners and employees who will loose thier jobs if business shut down. this amendments are not just simple amendments to the exiting bill. It is complete rewrite of the bill.

[Aaron Rouse @AaronRouseVA]

I am disappointed that after having this bill on his desk for nearly a month, Gov. Youngkin waited until this past Saturday to meaningfully engage with us, refusing to bring stakeholders, small business owners and those impacted by this legislation to the table for a discussion.

[ankit patel @ankit_pate43655]

With the amendments from @governerva office it's not a small business Skill game bill they made it " Kill the skill Game bill " with statewide ristrictions . @BillStanley @samrasoul and many other legislators we are thank full to you for all your support.

[Sam Rasoul 🍉 @Sam_Rasoul]

This should tell you all you need to know. Many of these bills had bipartisan support. There is little "Common Ground" with this Governor.
