About this Article

In the next 30 days, Gov. Pat Quinn will have legislation on his desk to allow slot machines at Arlington Park and the Chicago airports, as well as new casinos in Lake County, Chicago and elsewhere. Lawmakers approved the plan back in May 2011, but Senate President John Cullerton used a procedural move to block the bill from physically being sent to Quinn’s desk. But Tuesday, on the last day of lawmakers’ terms in office, Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat, released it.
