Quinn Misses Opportunity To Create Jobs

The head of the Illinois Revenue and Jobs Alliance believes Governor Pat Quinn just passed up an opportunity to put 20-thousand people to work.  Bill Black says that's how many jobs the gambling bill would've created.  Black also says it would've boosted the state's economy and added more than a billion dollars to the state's bank account.  Quinn vetoed the bill, claiming it lacks proper oversight and leaves too many loopholes for more mob activity in the state.  House Speaker Michael Madigan has said he doesn't think a veto override would work.
