My take so far is that Lightfoot had the feasibility study done mostly to prove that the current structure isn't financially viable (the 72% tax), and she is not concerned with the precise location at this time. In her statements yesterday she continued to deflect back to this point when reporters asked questions about which location she currently favored. However, she eventually reiterated that she wants the Casino to spark economic development on the South/West side. This could be political even though she knows that closer to downtown makes more sense, but we don't know yet. I do like the fact that she seems to be taking an unemotional, data-driven approach to evaluating the feasibility of a casino in Chicago. Fingers crossed.
