The Outfit Back in Business

No doubt palms have been greased:

  • Weeks after the construction of the Bally’s Chicago casino was halted amid questions about the use of a reputed mob-connected garbage company, the Illinois Gaming Board is allowing work to resume.

    But the state government agency, which answers to Gov. JB Pritzker, was mum on details.

    The agency released a statement Wednesday saying:

    “Today the Illinois Gaming Board (IGB) lifted its May 1, 2025, Stop Work Order on construction of the permanent Bally’s Chicago Casino project. The IGB issued the Stop Work Order in connection with undisclosed vendors performing work on the project.”

It certainly sounds like the same waste disposal company will continue working on the casino site. Whatever "fines" or "penalties" assessed will be recouped at a later date in "unexpected" cost overruns.

Can we please let the Chicago Outfit open an Italian deli and restaurant on the casino property? They know how to do it right. I can't get a good pepper & egg or Italian beef anywhere in this city now. I have to drive all the way out to the burbs for a fucking decent sandwich.

Fatso Pigster must have woke up with a horse head laying on his bed next to him.

Nothing Fatso and Conehead can do to prevent this mega flop.
A giant turd drawing flies and Fatso knows to stay far away.
One Chicago casino visit and most will never return.
A four hour flight to Las Vegas where everything is better and safer.

So let me get this straight....having a garbage with alleged mob ties can shut down a project worth hundreds of millions BUT a relative dealing smack out of your vehicle isn't enough to stop YoYo from being promoted. Make it make sense...

He might not get that reference. A more likely scenario is him thinking "I can't believe I ate the whole thing."

If so, it’s because he ate the horse and fell asleep before he could finish the head. The fat fuck.
