Complaint: Virginia skill games ban is racial discrimination


Complaint: Virginia skill games ban is racial discrimination
June 30, 2021 GMT
ROANOKE, Va. (AP) A group of Asian American business owners in Virginia has requested that the state’s attorney general investigate what they say is racial discrimination in a pending ban on electronic skill games in their stores.
The Roanoke-based Asian American Business Owners Association asked Attorney General Mark Herring’s office to effectively block the ban that’s set to go into effect Thursday by refusing to enforce it, the Richmond-Times Dispatch reported.
“In recent years, gaming has been embraced by the commonwealth when it is enjoyed by the privileged in fancy casinos or by children in ‘family entertainment centers,’” the complaint filed on Saturday says. “But that very same activity is not acceptable when offered by Asian American owned convenience stores or enjoyed by minority or marginalized populations.” ....

Complaint: Virginia Ban on Skill Games Is Racial Discrimination


“What we are looking for is a level playing field,” president Dharmendra Patel told the newspaper.
Senate Minority Leader Tommy Norment, a Republican from James City, supports the ban. He and Finance Chair Janet Howell, a Fairfax Democrat, said it was needed to stop the increase of previously unregulated game machines in convenience stores, truck stops and restaurants. They often directly compete with the Virginia Lottery, which is owned by the state and dedicates its profits to public education.

After consequential session, Speaker Filler-Corn turns to defending House majority this fall


For Virginia General Assembly s progressive shift, VA Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn credits diversity
When she first got to the House of Delegates 11 years ago, House Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn remembers being the only mother of school-age children on the chamber’s floor.
The Fairfax Democrat is now the first woman to ever preside over the House, which, she says, has been remade by the diversity of perspectives Democrats have ushered in: Women and Black lawmakers lead key committees, Latino and Asian Americans have recently organized their own caucuses, and Indian Americans now have one of their own in a House seat.
Filler-Corn, speaker since January 2020, says it’s led to the kind of legislation a broad coalition of Virginians can get behind, a key point she hopes will drive public support for Democrats this November. ....
