He says more gambling won't solve the state's fiscal troubles.

Quinn says that was just one area where the bill lacked integrity.  He also says there were several other problems with the bill, including the lack of strict oversight over the proposed Chicago casino.  Quinn is not opposed to expanding gambling but he wants to focus more on pension reform before focusing on the gambling issue.
