Gambling to Save us All?
Mayor Rahm Emanuel predicted Thursday that Gov. Quinn will sign a bill that would create a Chicago casino and others around the state.
“I believe that when the governor weighs it, and weighs all the equities and analyzes it, he’ll come to the conclusion I think I came to on behalf of the city of Chicago,” Emanuel said.
Wednesday, Illinois Gaming Board Chairman Aaron Jaffe had said he would be “flabbergasted” if Quinn signed the bill after speaking out against it.
Quinn is dithering far too long on this thing and Rahm needs it in an effort to close up Daley's monstrous budget shortfalls. Plus, with Des Plaines about to open their casino in a few short days, a Chicago casino will end up struggling for a lot of north suburban dollars that are already too scared to come into the city.
UPDATE: A few of our degenerate gamblers informed us that the casino in Des Plaines opens this Monday. Post corrected.

Des Plaines casino is opening on Monday, 18 July.
SCC Quinn isn't stalling on signing this bill. I read an article the other day online that said Sen Cullerton still has the gaming bill & the electric increase bill on his desk. It said he was stalling until he had a better idea on how Quinn would go before putting it on the Gov's desk
Anyone catch the breaking news how Mara Georgas, Daley's lawyer pupet, just got a very high paying job with the law firm that Daley now also gets a nice check from? Yes, the law firm that got a lot of contracts back when Daley was the dictator of chicago and was also involved in the parking meter scam. Many in the new are starting to talk about the corrupt connection.
If this happens can flop get some legislation passed that secures our pensions with casino money.WTF get on it guys.
Yeah but I'll bet that the Chicago casino will have bucket beaters out front and you just can't get that kind of entertainment in Des Plaines... I don't think.
Prepare to be flabbergasted, then. Do we not think Emanuel will ask Obama to put the screws to Quinn, so Chicago can drag itself out of this Daley-created disaster?
While Rahm and others see a Chicago casino as the salvation of many of the City's financial ills, I see it as the creation of a whole new set of issues regarding crime, corruption and cronyism. But we'll see...
Des Plaines "Rivers Casino" opens Monday 18 July 2011!
"Cha Ching"!

The mob should profit plenty from a city casino. As for taxpayers we’ll be lucky if it breaks even and doesn’t end up costing us millions.
Quinn will probably do a line item veto on some portions of the bill. I think Chicago will get a casino because the connected arceholes already have their greedy beaks in everything to do with it. I doubt much of the money made by the city will ever to to citizen services.
Rahm made Quinn "An Offer He Could Not Refuse" ??
Rahm can't cross his fingers. He's missing the one that goes over the index.
In other news, he's an asshole of the highest order.
Gambling is not a government function. It's a way for them to fleece the public yet again. They have irresponsibly spent the public's tax dollars and now want to make the public pay again by shaking them down in a con game house.
Disgrace. Democrats are ruining this country.

And legalize prostitution while you're at it. Be like Vegas....
Why so hard on Rahm? He's cracking the whip, something this city needs... some REAL ball busting to get Chicago back in shape! He's already done stuff Daley should have done.

So true!
Daley and Georges at that very law firm - can't be any conflict of interest in that. ;)

I've been seeing the ads for Rivers Casino inside lots of El cars lately.
A magnet for the Outfit... Anonymous said...creation of a whole new set of issues regarding crime, corruption and cronyism.
The Mob will find a way to get their Taste of Chicago here, along with all the other "legit" crooks lining up already....
It's da Shitcago way.....
I went to Rivers on Tuesday to get my players card early. There was a line wrapped around the building! I almost pulled out when the guy directing traffic told me the line moves very quickly. He was right! Took about 20 minutes and every employee was almost absurdly friendly and polite. They were handing out bottled water, ice cream, t-shirts and other swag. Looks like it's going to be a nice, upscale place.
Interesting thing about the hundreds and hundreds of people in line: I'd say 95% were white senior citizens. I sure hope the gangbangers keep going to Indiana to spend their discretionary money!
i thought the lottery was gonna save us? pay for the schools? dont you need money to gamble? most people dont have the extra cash to throw away. arent vegas hotels running at around 50% occupancy?

Mara dumb as she is knows how to keep the daley crime family "secrets" quiet. Maybe rahmbo could call barry and have him order quinn to pass the chicago casino through NOW!
Just payoff quinn,same way daley was/is being paid off "just do it" the envelope please!
degenerate gamblers---I resemble that remark
No grease Rahm lol
Legalize drug use and prostitution while we're at it. Tax them and let the good times roll!!!
the MOB will run the whole thing. look at Atlantic city.the new Vegas for skimming.
Casino Gambling will correct the under funded city pensions.
Just like The Lotto shored up our public school woes.
After all the millions in bills, salaries and commissions are paid the city will reap thousands !
Maybe hundreds !
the academy staff, vacarro, klauba, fleps, and jackson were approved for airfare, hotel and training in california...i thought we didn't have money in our budget...
If this bill is not kept in its original form....it fails....not enough votes to override a veto either.
his fingers? how about a finger and a half or 1.5 fingers crossed.
just axin
Quinn will do what his master Madigan tells him to.
whats gonna do for the taxes payers...probably every scum ghetto rat will be there, their the only ones who can afford thing...
daley is bigger than capone that rat basterd..
The Chicago casino should be named "The Skim"
