 | blagojevich says thumbs down to gambling |
Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, who just weeks ago suggested the state taking over casinos to boost revenue, has thrown the gauntlet in Illinois on a strong no to any expansion of gambling:
"...his long-delayed answer to critics who expected him to abandon his campaign pledge and permit the expansion of gambling in Illinois: No dice. His top aides say that means no 11th or 12th casino licenses, no more positions for gamblers at existing casinos, no slot machines at horse tracks, no video poker."
At first this sounds contradictory to his stand on taking over casinos, but the two strategies could be complementary: stop gambling expansion - gambling is bad - gambling companies are bad - let's take over the gambling companies. I still can't see that ever happening, though. Link (free registration required)
Certainly his tone is completely different than this statement he made less than a month ago:
Blagojevich also said that allowing video poker and increasing the number of slot machines at casinos or adding them to horse tracks would not necessarily be an expansion of gambling.Huh? Guess he decided the anti-gambling lobby is worth more votes than the pro-gambling one...
