The House of Delegates voted 71-44 to send a bill to the Senate outlining the details of a slot machine gambling program, contingent on approval by the voters in November 2008. The bill appears to remove the last remaining obstacle to the resolution of the current special legislative session. Leaders in both chambers are expected to come to a quick consensus on a tax and spending cuts package later today. The chambers must agree on some differences on the slots legislation as well, but they are expected to be easy to resolve.

Because some delegates did not record their votes before House Speaker Michael E. Busch took the call, the vote total will change, but not the outcome.
