Kass on the County’s New Casino
John Kass (as usual) hits the nail on the head in today’s column about the new casino slated for Des Plaines.
Here’s an excerpt that enforces what we’ve written here previously:
Board members couldn’t give the license to Rosemont, since politicians were shocked, shocked I tell you, when they found out a while back that Rosemont has connections to the Chicago Outfit…
… Last week, the gaming board members couldn’t give the casino to the other town that wanted it, Waukegan, because board members were privately worried that indicted Republican boss Big Bill Cellini had hidden connections with the deal, and they didn’t want to look stupid later.
So Des Plaines got the casino license. For some strange reason, perhaps it’s just hives, my itchiness tells me that politicians see a jackpot and that the guys behind the guys in Rosemont will wet their beaks in Des Plaines. It’s almost across the street.
