As efforts are currently underway to legalize online gambling in Illinois, that state’s Governor doesn’t seem likely to sign such a measure into law any time soon.
Governor Pat Quinn, who has rejected several previous plans for gambling expansion in the state, spoke to WUIS 91.9 Radio on Monday.
“I think that’s problematic,” he said. “It’s a brand new idea and there hasn’t been much review on that at all. Anytime you have something brand new it shouldn’t just be thrown into a bill at the last minute.”
Senate President John Cullerton is backing Internet gambling legislation in Illinois. Legislators will remain in session right through May.
