Please do not vote to bring a casino to Tyson’s, there is already a high amount of congestion in the area. Those of us that are residents nearby want a healthy community and bringing in a casino, also attracts individuals susceptible to addiction, which statistically pulls the community into a host of personal problems that no government bandaid can fix. Those of us that are seeking a livable community forsee this having a significant detrimental impact on a live and work community. I implore you to please vote no on bringing a casino to Fairfax/Tysons. If you think the tax revenue will help, I ask you to visit the surrounding neighborhoods outside of MGM, parts of PG county have police permanent stationed there due to high crime. So, we will only be inviting more problems.

This Bill singles out one of Virginia’s most dynamic and thriving economic and residential centers and threatens to destabilize what works.  Introducing casino gambling in Fairfax County jeopardizes a proven success story for the sake of speculative gains. My neighbors in the Snow-Lear HOA and I are vehemently opposed to this bill and the addition of any casino to our community.' Bensonn Anspach President Snow=Lear HOA
