No surprise they basically said what Lightfoot hinted at, the tax structure needs to be rejiggered in the legislature to make it economically feasible.
I also found this interesting:
There's a $1 tax on anybody who enters the casino, and we're randomly giving away 30% of that to Maywood and Summit? Why? Did their reps sneak that into the bill?

The Maywood thing probably has someting to do with the Hawthorne Race Track lobbying for a kickback since this will "undermine our existing gambling business" or something...
