As Predicted....

That sale of Bally's stock hit a legal wall:

  • All bets are off on Bally’s plan to sell $250 million worth of shares in their permanent Chicago casino to investors from minority backgrounds.

    Bally’s began refunding would-be investors last week because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission hasn’t approved the initial public offering rolled out by the Rhode Island-based corporation in December to help bankroll their $1.7 billion River West entertainment complex.

    Bally’s says it’ll take another spin at obtaining federal approval of the investment program, which is limited to women and people of color under terms of a host community agreement the company signed with former Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration to land the coveted casino license.

Wasn't there a whole Civil Rights movement against restricting sales of homes and property based on skin color? Red lining or something....we seem to have vague recollections of it. Yet democrats are insisting that skin color should be the determining factor for purchasing a publicly traded company. How very....regressive.

The only legal restriction on sales ought to be whether or not you can afford it.

I despise Democrats more everyday. Just look how they behaved during the President’s address to the nation. They are despicable and uncouth.

Reverse racism? No that can't be possible! Umm unless you have been part of the grifter racist left for the past decade or so.
A highlight of todays Democrat party bringing you all that sucks in America!

Democrats are people who gleefully castrate mentally confused children in the name of “affirmative health care”.

Blatant racism and bigotry (when they do it) doesn’t even begin to move the moral qualm needle.

i always knew the Democratic party was the party of slavery but I dismissed it every time I heard it - but now how I see how the democrats will jump to racial discrimination in a heartbeat to solve a political problem it all makes perfect sense - "limited to women and people of color "

Good luck trying to round up some start up capital from that group DEI investors. Worse than letting the mob get involved as an investor.

You're not even safe in the parking lot of the Rivers. Can you imagine leaving this place with a couple large in your pocket?

I suspect that some attorneys at Bally's and the city knew that there would be issues with the racial preferences but signed on just to get the deal done.
