As promised, The Associated Press offers the latest as Gov. Joe Manchin reviews the table games bill and the four racetrack prepare for the prospect of requesting local elections to gain permission to offer these games.
In the meantime, the West Virginia Family Foundation pledged Saturday to sue to challenge the legislation's constitutionality. MetroNews has a story with audio from their Capitol press conference, while The Register-Herald of Beckley also has a story.
The West Virginia Values Coalition is calling on its members to press Manchin to veto the bill.
The Wheeling Intelligencer, meanwhile, continues the coverage of a semi-related development: the falsification by at least one breeder of the health certificates for greyhounds that race at West Virginia tracks.
The Charleston Gazette has scrutinized the records of one breeder, who invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination during a state Racing Commission hearing on the topic.
The AP picked up the story as well last week. The Wheeling newspaper reports today that the commission is now widening its investigation.
