Illinois needs video gambling

Regardless of any legislation being proposed in the state legislature, local communities should not be prohibiting video gaming in their bars and restaurants. The people of Illinois need to get back to work, but without video gaming, the capital bill will not be fully funded and implemented. The $31 billion in projects designed to rejuvenate our state economy are critical to the working men and women across the state. The capital bill will create over 439,000 jobs over the next 5 years, making this the best way for us to improve our economy. With unemployment in the state at 10.8 percent, local and state officials need to do everything in their power to get the men and women of Illinois working again.
