Council member Jack Evans, an opponent to the online gambling legislation, voted to repeal and told The Washington Post, "It gives [council members] an opportunity to vote up or down with full knowledge of what they're voting for."
The full council vote could happen as early as next week, and according to The Washington Post, nine of the 12 council members will vote or are inclined to vote for the repeal...
