Manchin Vetoes Video Lottery Bill
WEST VIRGINIA....
Governor Joe Manchin vetoed a bill this week that would have changed the re-bidding process for 10-year limited video lottery licenses. Manchin says he objected to SB 651 because it would have put the re-bidding process into the section of state law that pertains to the state Purchasing Division, setting up a potential conflict between that office and the state Lottery Commission, which under current law would be in charge of the re-bidding process.
