- Gov. Pat Quinn all but slammed the door Monday on signing gambling-expansion legislation that passed last week, saying it “contained a lot of loopholes that are not good for the people.”
“I wouldn’t hold your breath on getting that bill signed,” the governor told reporters Monday morning during an appearance in Northbrook.
The measure that passed before a legislative deadline last Thursday would authorize a Chicago casino, along with four others in Lake County, the south suburbs and Downstate.
It also would permit slot machines at racetracks and expand the number of gambling positions at existing casinos.
Anyone have any idea what Quinn is hoping to accomplish by playing "bad cop" to Rahm's "fuck the unions, I'm going to D.C" stance?
