ILLINOIS LAWMAKERS ARE PAVING THE WAY FOR A CASINO IN CHICAGO THAT THEY SAY WILL BENEFIT THE WHOLE STATE. 

THE BILL LOWERS GAMING TAX RATES FOR A PLANNED CASINO IN THE CITY. AND MORE IMPORTANTLY SAYS SENATOR BILL CUNNINGHAM OF CHICAGO, IS THAT SOME OF THE REVENUE WILL PAY FOR BUILDING PROJECTS ACROSS ILLINOIS.

SENATOR BILL CUNNINGHAM OF CHICAGO SPONSORED THE BILL, WHICH LOWERS THE TAX STRUCTURE FOR A CITY CASINO. SOME OF THE REVENUE, AS WITH OTHER CASINOS, WILL GO TOWARDS MUCH NEEDED BUILDING PROJECTS ACROSS ILLINOIS. ADDITIONALLY,

THE BILL STILL NEEDS TO BE APPROVED BY THE GOVERNOR.
