Somehow I think that we will get thru this in spite of the politicians. Illinois is so corrupt that it's almost become an automatic for the governor to go directly to prison when his term is up. I'll be happy to drive Quinn whenever he is ready. The large hotel next to Arlington Park has been closed for over a year making the area very quiet and NO revenue to the city or state. Churchill Downs has already mentioned that Arlington may close without slots. If that happens Illinois and Arlington Heights will lose millions when they already are running large deficits. I have resolved to NEVER vote to re-elect an incumbent in any position. That probably won't solve anything but the law of averages tells me that maybe someone with a clue will get a chance.
