Illinois gambling bill looms with Quinn inching toward a veto plan
Gov. Pat Quinn, two months after a broad gambling expansion passed, has shown few private objections while meeting with supporters and opponents. He aims to act before the fall veto session, seeking potential changes without delaying beyond October. Former Gov. Jim Edgar and racing interests push for measures aiding the industry and a Chicago casino. Quinn weighs regulatory gaps and the idea of more casinos, while legislative leaders delay action to gauge his stance.
