Virginia convenience store owners protest proposed skill game regulation amendments, fearing store closures.
Virginia convenience store owners are protesting against Governor Youngkin's proposed amendments to skill game regulations, which they claim could lead to store closures. The Virginia Merchants and Amusement Coalition organized a one-day halt in selling Virginia lottery tickets to bring attention to the issue. The proposed amendments include increasing the tax rate on the machines, banning them near schools or childcare centers, and capping the number of machines allowed in Virginia.
