Table Games - Kanawha County (Updated)

Both The Associated Press and the Charleston Daily Mail quiz Kanawha County's legislators about table games in advance of the Aug. 11 special election. Early voting continues until Aug. 8.

The Daily Mail also reports on the nuts and bolts of expanding the state's racetracks in to full-blown casinos.

Rev. Dennis Sparks of the West Virginia Council of Churches, a leading table games foe, responds to some of the proponents' arguments in a Charleston Gazette op-ed piece today -- and may have helped prompt this editorial response to gambling opponents.

Update: On a related front, MetroNews has this story about Wood County officials weighing whether to bring video lottery slot machines to the area airport.
