Family Foundation Filing Suit

The West Virginia Family Foundation is planning on filing suit against the state to stop the four racetracks from not only being able to vote on the table games bill, but also to reverse the bill that made the possible vote legal. They have hired Barry Bruce, a Lewisburg attorney, to file the necessary suit, and he says it should be out by next week.

He said that they keep getting more and more information to back their claims that the bill is unconstitutional, and they are lining up experts to testify on their behalf. The West Virginia Family Foundation is a conservative Christian group, and they are seeking injunctions to stop the voting on the table games issue in each of the four counties. They may also consider seeking a declaratory judgment, but they are waiting to see what all of their options may be.

They think that the West Virginia Supreme Court will vote against the table games because of the precedents that they have put forth already. They know that the slot machines are legal in the state because they come under the guise of the lottery, but table games are not the same thing. They believe that once the Supreme Court has all of the facts before them, they will seek to reverse the bill.

The Family Foundation believes that the state cannot allow the table games because they do not fall under the 1984 lottery amendment and therefore cannot be legal. They say that they are going to challenge the “intellectual properties” clause that is in the bill because it does not apply to table games by definition.
