@Maxhoma you really impressed a lot of people this week. Most importantly, I hope you impressed yourself. 3 majors left and I’m bullish. Chin up!

[Chris Cylke @chriscylke]

@truckindumbass @HermieSadler Yessir. 60%+ of revenue going to Georgia-based company. 90% of political donations to VA politicians via same GA company. Also, Gov’s tax rate is 35% - on the low end of markets w/ distributed gaming. Would say “wake up,” but you already knew all that.

@gmoomaw While exclusion zone is well-justified policy based on the investments casinos are making in the Commonwealth, it’s also a separate amendment for GA to consider. Focus should be on what Gov has proposed vs totally non-existent guardrails in SB212.

[Chris Cylke @chriscylke]

@HermieSadler @GovernorVA Be honest

"Out of state" casinos are hiring Virginians, pay taxes, and are investing billions of dollars in the Commonwealth for economic development

Out of state skill operators entered the Commonwealth uninvited, sued to stay here, continued to profit while avoiding taxes.

Caps playing for their playoff lives and giving up odd-man rushes every shift. Awful.
