SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Gov. Rod Blagojevich said Tuesday he opposes Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's proposal to build a giant casino near downtown Chicago, and he promised to veto any such legislation.
The Democratic governor said that gambling in Illinois is limited to a few cities that need an economic boost.
"I oppose it because when it comes to the state budget, there are no quick fixes," Blagojevich said. "It's not my vision for the kind of state Illinois should be."
