 Gaming board chairman Aaron Jaffe said Wednesday that he would be
"flabbergasted" if Quinn signs the bill.Jaffe calls the bill
"garbage" and says it's full of regulatory loopholes.
The bill passed by lawmakers would add five new casinos in the
state, including one in Chicago. It also would allow slot machines
at racetracks and at Chicago's airports.
Quinn won't say what action he'll take on the bill once lawmakers
send it to him.
Fearing Quinn's veto, Senate President John Cullerton put a
legislative "hold" on the bill until lawmakers see whether they can
negotiate some kind of compromise that won't doom it.
