GOP prioritizes House gambling reform effort in Illinois
Springfield lawmakers push a two hour daily closure for Joliet Empress and Harrah’s riverboats to aid inspectors and give problem gamblers a break. Rep. Renee Kosel and Rep. Anne Zickus back reforms, while Rep. Mike Bost leads the package amid a fall session focused on new laws and vetoes. They stress addressing gambling’s negative effects and safeguarding families, with broad Democratic caution.
