VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — The Champs Sports Bar in Virginia Beach removed its skill games late last year. Now the owner, who said he voted for Glenn Youngkin, has a message for the governor.

“I thought you were for small businesses,” said Green, a Norfolk native. “People like us small businesses add back to the community for a lot.”

State Sen. Aaron Rouse, the chief patron of Senate Bill 212, is critical of the Youngkin approach to budgeting. Rouse, a former NFL player, said he didn’t know about the governor’s 76 pages of changes until Saturday.

“I think what many of us have learned in the General Assembly is that because you have success in the business world, sometimes and oftentimes that doesn’t strike trends,” Rouse said. “This is government. You have to work with members of the General Assembly to get anything done.”

Under the Youngkin plan, no skill games can legally operate within a 35-mile boundary of any casino, horse track or off-site betting facility. A spokesperson for the governor wrote in part:

“The governor has serious concerns with the structure, tax rates, impact on the Virginia lottery, and broader public safety implications of Senate Bill 212.”

The owner of Champs said Youngkin is no champion for small businesses.

“If the bill is against skill games, the whole thing being right at 35 miles is ridiculous,” Green said.

The skill games debate will continue when the General Assembly meets April 17 for the veto session.
