CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia lawmakers hope to help The Greenbrier resort make the most of its recently won authority to open a casino and enhance its appeal to potential buyers.
Legislation introduced Friday would parallel the rules for any video lottery machines or table games at the world-famous resort with that of the state's racetracks.
The bill slightly reduces the gross receipts tax set when the resort was first eyed for a casino in 2000. It also allows The Greenbrier to recoup some proceeds for employee benefit costs.
Greenbrier County voters approved gambling at the resort in November after supporters argued that could help it recover from recent staggering losses.
Owner CSX Corp. has signaled it may sell the storied resort.

I sure hope the Greenbrier doesn't close. It's a WVA treasure.
You know it's really sad that the answer is always gambling. It destroys lives, gives people slim paying jobs, and teaches our children nothing. I'm not against gambling at all but it's not always the answer.
the greenbrier is a wonderfull place
