Table game vote in House of Delegates
Here are how the eight people representing this area in the House of Delegates voted on the table games bill today.
I don't have my notes handy, but I'm pretty sure one of the people who voted for the bill said at a candidates' forum last fall that he would not support a bill that did not have a statewide vote as opposed to county options. I plan to ask him about that.
For: Jim Morgan, Don Perdue, Rick Thompson.
Against: Kevin Craig, Carol Miller, Doug Reynolds, Kelli Sobonya, Dale Stephens.
From our neighboring counties:
Putnam: Martin and Paxton, Y; Andes and Schoen, N
Lincoln: Eldridge, Y
Mingo: White and Kominar, Y
Logan: Ellis and Hrutkay, Y
Mason: No representation in the House of Delegates thanks to multidelegate districts and gerrymandering to protect incumbents.
In case you're wondering about party votes, Democrats voted for table games 52-19 with 1 absent. The Republican vote was 3 for, 24 against and 1 absent.
