Though he's indicated he will, Gov. Joe Manchin has not yet signed the racetrack table games legislation _ but that hasn't stopped the Ohio County Commission from scheduling a June 9 election under its local option provision, the Wheeling Intelligencer reports today.
Ohio County would be wasting no time, as the bill would become law June 6, or 90 days after its passage.
Hancock County is also weighing dates for a special election, according to the Weirton Daily Times.
But the West Virginia Family Foundation still intends to file a lawsuit challenging the legislation and its local option election provision.

I can see where the WVFF is coming from and griping about, but, I think we should let the people decide.
If they want table games, that's fine, I'm never gunna play 'em. But, if they don't, then they'll say something at the ballot box.
