And Lightfoot wasted how many months forming committees making sure that casino project would help underserved neighborhoods? Only to drop the thing just outside River North...
I will say that the Trib site also benefits from having the temporary casino building on the north side of Chicago Avenue pretty much ready to go as soon as they get a green light.
As much as I'd like to see Medinah Temple reopen its doors, a temp casino aint it.
