As Expected

That Bally's stock "offering" limited to "women and people of color" has provoked the expected lawsuit, further clouding the entire casino issue:

• A conservative activist group is suing Bally’s, the city and state gambling regulators over a minority investment program in the Chicago casino that allows only women and people of color to get a piece of the action.

  The American Alliance for Equal Rights filed the federal lawsuit Wednesday, along with two white Texas men who are “excluded from the table solely based on immutable characteristics,” the suit states.

"Reverse racism" is still racism, and this remnant of Groot's years of mis-governance with Bally's the City of Chicago and the Illinois Gaming Board being named as defendants, will end up costing taxpayers untold millions long before this doomed-to-fail enterprise even opens.

But don't worry - those in-the-know are already getting paid via connected contracts and such.
