Judge sets Jan 23 hearing over Joliet pinball ban
Circuit Judge James V. Bartley refused a temporary injunction against Joliet’s pinball ban this morning and postponed the hearing to January 23. He ordered the state attorney city manager mayor six councilmen the sheriff state police chief and a state revenue rep to appear as defendants. He questioned if pinballs are gambling devices though the supreme court has ruled they are not. The ban likely takes effect January 1 pending the Jan 23 hearing.
