Slots at track would only hurt casino
I am in complete agreement with Mayor Moylan's comments in the Friday Des Plaines Journal.
To open slot machines at Arlington Park would be to the detriment of the casino to open in Des Plaines.
It is not only unfair for the reasons Mayor Moylan stated but the purpose of the casino revenue was to help cities that were in need of compensation. I'm sure attorney Gen. Lisa Madigan weighed that in her decision making process.
I'd like to see Des Plaines consider helping Waukegan in some way who was also a suitor for the coveted license that went to Des Plaines.
I neglected to say that in my comments at the last council meeting.
