Kanawha Prepares For Table Games Recount

An official with Tri-State Racetrack & Gaming Center has petitioned to gain standing in next week's hand recount of Kanawha County's wahffer-thin table games vote, The Associated Press reports.

(The Charleston Gazette had the story originally, but I can't readily find an online version.)

Public Broadcasting, meanwhile, talks to the Rev. Dennis Sparks of the West Virginia Council of Churches about its decision to bankroll the main recount request by seeking donations.

MetroNews also focuses on the council's role.

On a sorta-related topic, "Two greyhound-racing outfits are suing the West Virginia Racing Commission for suspending their licenses in March," the Gazette reports.
