Gov. Joe Manchin has told The Intelligencer that he "wants each county to have its own say in whether limited video lottery machines remain at the corner shop."
"The next gambling issue in the state will be the limited video lottery machines found outside racetracks and at small businesses and organizations throughout West Virginia communities," the Wheeling newspaper reports. "The 10-year licenses for these machines are set to expire in 2011."
“The counties should have a say in whether they have LVLs in their communities — just like they did with table gambling,” Manchin told the paper.

That is a big leap. Is he suggesting some counties might vote them out, OR, some may want to vote Tracks and Tables IN?
I am for the "Lets put every small or large issue on the ballot, and get rid of the elected representatives in charleston!" We could vote on every single thing, online, and we wouldn't have to worry about those Delegates having to think for themselves!
I'm for following the state's conmstitution which permits a LOTTERY as the only form of legalized gambling. I'd prefer that that hadn't been aproved, but since it has, why not at least enforce that? Who in his right mind (other than legislators looking for revenue) would consider a slot machine or a poker game as a lottery?
