Governor Ryan Shifts On Cook County Riverboat Gambling
Special to The Star Gov George Ryan says he would back riverboat gambling in Cook County if part of a broader gambling package and would sign bills permitting it. He noted Cook County is the only county not included and said the decision would rest with the state gaming board. Local officials including Calumet City Mayor Jerry Geneva and Rosemont supporters argued for a Rosemont riverboat, while critics warn of political shifts and unchanged opposition from some lawmakers.
