As many of you already know, we did it!!! After years of trying and coming up short, we have finally accomplished what so many said we could not. We needed 30 votes to pass the bill. We got 30 votes. Your phone calls made a difference. For once, our efforts paid enormous dividends. We still need to work for the Governor’s signature, (more on that later) but obviously completing the first two stages of this was monumental. Everyone is encouraged to call back their Reps and Senators and say thanks for their yes vote. (If they voted yes.) Today as a group, as an association, as an industry, we passed a major, controversial gaming bill that will save our industry in Illinois. Thank you for supporting us and thanks to all for the kind messages and texts.
