No Casino...
...but Groot is a gambling fool:
Two days before the Chicago Teachers Union officially went on strike in 2019, one of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s top aides sent her a note about what he called “The Bet.”
In the email, Lightfoot senior adviser and legal counsel Michael Frisch laid out a wager and its stakes.
“The Bet: 3 cigars and a bottle of scotch of the winner’s choosing. Under: Strike ends before next Weds. Over: Strike extends past Weds,” Frisch wrote in the email, which had “confirming our agreement” in the subject line.
Referencing Lightfoot’s chief of staff, Maurice Classen, who was also on the email, Frisch wrote, “Frisch and Maurice have the Under, MLL has the Over. Now no one can back out ...” using an acronym for Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
Neither Lightfoot nor Classen responded to the email, according to what Lightfoot’s office released. A Lightfoot spokeswoman said the mayor “does not have any recollection of the email in question” but took the CTU strike “very seriously” and “of course never participated in any bet nor would she.”
We'll say right here that Groot is a liar and her spokespeople are liars. Groot has a long and storied history of gambling and if we felt like outing eight or ten sources, we would have exclusives that would make a zombie-Mike-Royko drool.
We would have actually respected her a tiny little bit if she came out and admitted she gambled on the teachers' strike. We've set the weekend over/under on homicides tens of dozens of times over the years. Of course, being the lead negotiator, she was privy to all sort of info that others didn't have.

You don't have to "out" your sources to state what those sources alleged her doing.
You know damn well lightfoot took that bet. She has always smoked cigars with her single malt scotch whiskey. It's her "I won, I conquered, I showed them" favorite image. Seen it many times. FU Lori.
How can you tell Groot is lying?
Her lips (or her spokesperson’s) are moving.
FULL.
For someone without a twig and berries, she also seems to have quite a phallic obsession with cigars.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
In this case, I highly doubt it.
Gambling?! Wow!
People are getting pretty annoyed with hypocritical politicians and "personalities"

What’s the over and under on her getting re-elected in 2 years slim to none if you’re a betting man
Hey SCC, leave Mike Royko out of this. He doesn’t deserve to be smeared like those other CRETINS.
media throwing out that occasional bone.
already became yesterday's news with no follow up.
The Trump campaign has taken a different approach since the election. Trump, is being rather low key, limited social media presence, and even in his press conference the other day he didn't name names.
On the other hand, Lin Wood named names. He called out the corrupt political establishment in Georgia. He should know, he lives in Georgia. If you are an honest politician, who you allow this to happen? Wouldn't you face this head on and clear your name, threaten law suits, etc., The main stream media is just waiting for your call and they will blast it from the high heavens.
Because they know he is telling the truth. The media knows he is telling the truth. If MSM dares to smear him, he will sue and win just like the beat CNN, The New York Times, NBC, and still going in his defense of 16 year old Nick Sandman. He won millions. He, like Sidney Powell and General Flynn, scare the piss out of the establishment.
She is a liar, everything she says when she is caught doing something wrong is a lie.
Billions of dollars literally thrown away, no work no show the ctu makes the mob look like amateur hour! But the little scared cowardly mayor will never do her job, leaders lead she is far from a leader just another poseur in children's clothing! Full pay and benefits along with the county-state-rest of city except for police-fire-and sanitation all collecting a paycheck. Went to Indiana this past weekend along 94 wow the garbage the overgrown brush damaged signs in the corruption filled run by fat trust fund baby governor filthy, you cross to Indiana a state that finances are in the black police pensions fully funded pristine! Proving again dirty scum drain swamp democrats could careless about anyone or anything but payoffs!
No wonder good people are leaving this shithole in droves!
This looks like the DNC plan, written in 2019, by a University of Loyola Law Professor no less, about a disputed election. This is the exact blueprint for what is taking place. Spread the word and download the document. Back the Blue
Remember her words when COPA or IAD grill you about a text or email:
said the mayor “does not have any recollection of the email in question”
MLL has just set the precedent.
The Democrats answer to everything now days is "You are a racist". Identity politics are all they know. I have come to believe that Democrats are intentionally trying to divide the country and incite a civil war. She is a very insecure and incompetent Mayor.
Wanna bet she wagered in plenty of year-end Ghoul Pools. Good chance there’s odds on the Hashe Browns departure.
What kind of fool category; but who does this if not Larri directly, but her imbecile staff doing the bidding and now the paranoiac imbecile AngryToad submerged again, refusing to respond. The simpleton scatterbrain is so easily duped, all one has to do is dazzle her by parroting her maniacal wisdom and admiring that chip on her shoulder.
$2 says Hushed Browns is gone by 01 Jan with 775 total murders passing through the morgue.
Lightfool thought she could win over Preckwinkle’s army of teachers....
She didn’t.....they won, she lost.....the city caved, and gained nothing!
Gave them a big old fat fat raise, kept their pension portion to 2%,
And they still hate her......
Then along came THE PLAGUE.......and they have really stuck it in her ass!
“Nope, no sir, we don’t be going back to that teaching stuff anytime soon....
We gonna ride this out til next year......all play, no work, and we don’t care
that the children’s be getting stupider and stupider by the day”.....
Guess if she HAD bet, she would’ve lost.....big time.....
Cicero building a super casino. You snooze,you lose groot.
She’s a politician, therefore she lies.

Yeah? What was your over & under on Foxx? You have to understand it doesn't matter what they do anymore or how bad they are at the job. The local talking heads...which is all they are..the term journalist is now meaningless in Chicago...will cover for them and call anyone who calls them out racist, sexist or a ...phobe of some type. Truth will have zero meaning here in Chicago until the tax base has eroded to nothing as the productive tax paying citizens flee.
See....this just shows how much the mayor and her minions think of this city. They bet on how long a strike will last. SCUMBAGS.
Wonder what they bet on the police contracts?.....or lack of one.
She is smoking cigars while the city burns. Our modern day Nero....without the fiddle.
I remember when a Superbowl squares pool took down the CEO of 1st Chicago in a time of quite a bit less political correctness. Here we have the mayor of Chicago gambling with its citizens welfare and tax $$'s. Perhaps a similar cost should be forthcoming?
What’s wrong with gambling? What’s the big deal? Please explain. Seriously.
Gambling! Sounds like Groot is being unethical and a Hypocrite?
No bigger gamble than having that fucking idiot as mayor.
Lightfoot is a total piece of shit! Her disdain for ethics is mind blowing.
She gambles, travels while denying others the same, fixes traffic tickets etc.
We all know these are just her indiscretions we know about.
Hopefully Peckerwinkle and the CTU continue their anti-lari campaign.
Semi Off Topic ( but a Reliable Rumor nevertheless): SCC Readers, Please comment on possibility of Lake Michigan Cruise Ship Gambling in Illinois, as in Riverboat Gambling but on Lake Michigan with ship(s) docked in Chicago, and under jurisdiction of State of Illinois ( as in Governor JayBee) and NOT Cook County?
Anyone who thinks for a second that a single cent of any casino revenue will go to the CPD pensions is crazy. BLM and the handful of socialist alderman have already said they will not support any city casino that funds the CPD pension. In fact there are open calls to change the house Bill, now state law, that earmarks money for the CPD pension and use that money instead for “reinvestment in black and brown communities plagued by racism at the hands of police”.
Anyone who is counting on a CPD pension bailout from a casino is crazy!
Look around, no one wants us paid, especially not a pension!
If by some small chance a casino is built, the money will go to teacher pensions, schools, and black and brown communities (aka social programs).

Chicago could easily render a Cicero casino or any other casino irrelevant if they do it right and build it right in the center of the downtown lakefront with beautiful views, wrap around outdoor deck, easily accessible, and where all the businesses, hotels, entertainment and people are. It would be a huge win win for Chicago but unfortunately Chicago politicians like to lose.

Not reliable. Casino gambling headed in the other direction. Boats moving to land-based one-by-one.

I always wondered why VCD consisted of Narcotics, Prostitution and Gambling.
Some of those patriot nerd/hackers at thedonald.win have been posting that they have the Illinois voting data and they are seeing the same ratios in spikes like they found in other states like Wisconsin and Michigan. Dr. Shiva also did an analysis on 2016 and 2020 vote totals and he should be releasing it to the Trump team soon but the emphasis right now is on the 5 swing states. I hope Foxx loses and O'Brien wins. Check out Dr. Shiva on the internet and look up Illinois results of election 2020.
Finally the house of cards is starting to fall. The Devil went to Georgia and found some luggage filled with ballots in the middle of the night. Damn those cameras. Almost pulled it off. The shit is about to hit the fan. Biggest scandal this country has ever seen. Remember when Trump said the Flynn travesty made Watergate look like kids play? This election trumps them all. The world is watching.
Looks like we are going to have a warm December.
Ill bet Madam A$$hole a pack of smokes we hit 750.
If I lose, Ill buy 'em like I always do in Dupage.
There is no way in hell that a legit casino could ever be run in this crooked corrupt shithole.
Since Cruise ships can not cruise they got to do something with them. Navy Pier anyone? Could be up and running in 30 days. Only way to get the tourist trade back into town. Just like old show Mr Lucky.
CTU runs it !!!!!!
I have it on reliable sources that the cigars in question, were the very special, Democrat, "Monica Lewinsky" cigars so favored by Bill Clinton!
The TAX advantage of Lake Michigan Gambling Ships is that they COULD be under the sole and exclusive TAX jurisdiction/ collection of the State and not Cook County and/or City. Any land based Casino is subject to city/ county TAX, but a ship on Lake Michigan would be independent of local authority, and directly under State authority
The Ultimate “ Solution”: An Indian Tribe buys a Casino Ship, registers it to the Tribe, flys the Tribal Flag, and cruises Lake Michigan!
So are you telling me that LL is using her email to gamble? She’s a hypocrite.
