CHICAGO - Governor Pat Quinn and Mayor Rahm Emanuel are nearing an agreement to open a casino in Chicago they said at a press conference Friday.
"I think that issue, on gaming, I'm optimistic by the ninth of January that we can come up with a bill that meets all of our criteria," Quinn said as Emanuel looked on at an event to announce Argonne National Laboratory will lead a federal project to develop batteries with more storage.
"The mayor and I are very close on the issue of strong regulation and ethics, and making sure the money goes to schools and infrastructure," Quinn said.
